   This made putting tight fitting tires on my rims much easier. Recently used it at a race event where there were a couple of flats on those hard to mount tires on a couple of those huge aero rims, tool saved the day.

   It does work for stubborn tires but it could be a bit sturdier. A 2 pack would be nice and about 5 dollars cheaper and I'd say you can't go wrong. If you really need it pay the price

   Easily pulls the last bit of the tire on the rim. I still needed one tire lever to lightly hold the tire in place while using the tool, but the process was quick and easy. The tool is sturdy for being plastic. It feels like it will last a long time.

   This tool is worth its weight in gold, I have struggled for years trying to pry my 27” x 1-1/8 tires onto my road bike wheels only to find out that I pinched the tube and had to start all over. First time I used the tool the tire went right on without any problems.

   This thing is a must have if you are setting up tubeless. The tires just keep getting tighter and harder to mount. But this baby handles with ease. So much better than traditional tire levers to get that “last bit” at the top. Less stress on the rim as well because the pressure is applied to the opposite edge of the rim. Highly recommend!

   I have strong cycling legs, and small weak arms (typical female rider); this tool saves the day; just tried it w/ a flat yesterday.

   Just buy this thing, just DO IT. I've put on enough tires over the years that I feel I've earned the right to make it easier with a tool, despite what some folks will tell you. This thing makes mounting a really tight, brand new tire a breeze with no frustration, no sore thumbs, and no damage to my wheels. Yes, it's good to know how to do it by hand, because you're going to have to do it on the side of the road eventually, but there's a difference between re-mounting a used tire you just took off, and stretching on a brand new tire for the first time. Just buy this thing and stop wrestling with them.

   This is a single task tool, which I generally avoid, but getting a tire, especially a new tire, onto the rim can be tough in the best of times. You have to be careful not to pinch the tube, or you will be taking that tire right off again. And don't even get me started on new tubeless, tires, those can be even worse. But this handy piece of plastic, which feels a lot stronger than it looks in the photo, makes this process a lot easier. The tool lets you grab the bead of the tire, lever on the rim on the far side, and pull that bead up so that it slides over the rim and into place.

   I use a bicycle tire with a folding bead so having this tool makes the final steps of the installation so much easier than when I use levers alone.
