Park Tool TL-6.2 Tire Lever Set

Way better than the tl6 they replaced. The tl6 was prone to failure from the plastic cladding delaminating from the steel core. These are perfect for keeping in your pack or strapped to your bike. Throw away the garbage plastic levers and buy these. Park still makes the best bike tools. They replaced my damaged tl6 levers with a new set of these. Great company.

The quality is excellent. The plastic is non marring and slippery. The internal metal makes them extremely stiff and durable. These are the most perfect tire irons that Ive ever used and Ive been cycling for more than 45 years.

I had used cheap plastic levers in the past that broke. I decided to solve that problem by using steel core levers. These are affordable and work 100% of the time. I hate the feeling of being out on a ride and having a lever break on me. (Though usually a friend or other cyclists would normally offer to help).

If you downhill mountain bike and have double down or downhill casing tires and have a flat or puncture, on the trail, that requires getting the bead in or out of the rim, you better have these. The plastic/vinyl ones will snap. These have the strength to get the job done.

High quality bike levers sure to last a long time.

Having just snapped some REI levers into bits while trying to put a new tire on my mtb, I knew Id be replacing them with something from Park Tool. They have always been top notch, and these levers continue to uphold that reputation. The exposed metal tip made it easy to get the lever in place, and the slick plastic covering made the rest of the process of seating a Specialized GRID casing tire on a very tight wheel a complete breeze.

Awesome lever set. These are super strong, metal, levers with a nice plastic coating to protect those colored wheels. Great to throw in your camelbak or to even use in the garage. Highly recommended. 5 stars.

If you want the best tire tool sparing no expense then the TL-6.2 is one to own. I have the TL-1 in my bike bags and in the shop but constantly struggle with the 23-25 mm tires. The TL-6.2 tool is half as thick vs TL-1, and only 1 oz heavier per pair (2.01 oz for pair), BUT, this makes a huge difference in leveraging the tire off the rim. Especially, in the field or saving time at home. Clearly well worth the extra money when struggling and possibly pinching a tube or damaging a very expensive rim set. Do not second guess the price for a tool that will last a lifetime and save you a lot of aggravation.

They making the entire process extremely simple, and give me confidence that theyre not going to rip my tube.

I had some old tires on my bike that were laughing at the plastic tire tools from Wal-Mart. These are the real deal. If I ran a bike shop, Id get the longer fancier ones made by Park, but these are great for a serious biker who only changes a tire every day or two.
