Been using these the past couple of days. Here's my impressions. Feel/control: excelent. Solid and non-flexing. Not too big, not too small. I don't like huge levers for most work, too clumsy for my small hands and they lack feel. I don't need that much leverage to change a tube-type tire anyways. I can feel everything that's going on with these. Tip shape: very nice. Don't booger up beads and don't grab at the tubes. I think someone put some thought into this part. Yeh, it's "just a lever" but, I got others that "look" like these but they sure don't feel or work as good, at least to me. I removed and installed two rear's. Tip is the same shape as it was when I got it. Price: great! I aint no LR when it comes to changing tires. But I do a bunch. I feel these are a premium tool at a bargain price. I got two, I'm glad I did and they're my new go-to levers. Good stuff! Thank you, Tinken, for the head-up on these. Good timing as usual.
