Works amazingly! Just used once so far, but took about 10mins to do the whole change. I though it was going to be a bear getting the new valve in, but on the second attempt, in it popped!I will say that I used plenty of silicone lube (plumber's lube) around the new valve stem - to help it slide in, and hopefully to reduce corrosion on the rim, which I think is why I think the old valve stem started leaking. Don't use normal motor grease, it will degrade the valve rubber.Without plenty of lube, I think it would have been much tougher getting the new valve stem to pop through, though I didn't try it.

The tools do work, the valve was fine for a few months, after it got cold out the new valve basically split in half.dont count on using the valves that come in the kit.

We needed to change a valve stem that had perished on a commercial vehicle using this tool we had the valve stem changed without taking the tyre off in approximately 30 seconds definitely would recommend to anybody that needs to change the valve stem without taking the wheel all the tire off only thing I would say is always lubricate the rubber parts before inserting the new stem

Bought it to avoid having to remove the wheels on the log splitter.They are mounted by the bearings on the spindle, which requires removal of dust caps, lock washers, bearings, etc.Took more time bring the log splitter into the yard than it took to remove and install new valve stems.Worked very well. I did use the hook tool with success on one side. The other side's valve stem was completely deteriorated, and the hook ripped through it.Not a big deal on a tire that is not used on the road. Just pushed the ripped up bottom part into the tire/wheel assembly.Then the installation. Used a good bit of soapy water on the new valve stem bottom and a little more on the forcing cone. Was able to put them in with minimal effort.Tips:1: When using the hook tool, make sure you know which way to turn the tool to place the hook in the right spot on the old valve stem.2: Use a good amount of lube on the bottom part of the new valve stem and the forcing cone. I used some lightly diluted dish soap. The forcing cone needs to be right up against the wheel where the hole is for the valve stem. With enough lube, it will not take much to get the new stem installed. Might take some light taps with your hand on the installation tool, while holding the cone in the right spot.3: Get set up on a hard surface if you can. Helps the process if you can use a floor jack to lift the vehicle or implement off the ground in order to rotate the tire into the best position for you to work on it.I found having the valve stem at the 2-3 o'clock position works well for removal of the old valve stem and having it at 6 o'clock position for installation. Once it is in the right spot for working on it, set it down just enough to keep the wheel/tire from rotating while you work on it.4: Make sure your tires are not really badly rotted or cracked. Tires in bad shape can certainly explode on you. Thankfully, I have yet to see that but have heard the stories.5: An air compressor is a nice item to have for filling the tires up. A tire valve core tool is nice for removing the core from the valve stem you are replacing, much faster way to let air out compared to using a screwdriver or such. A stool or such is nice to sit on while working on the project. A floor jack is a handy item as well.

I got this because of the great reviews and the videos, but it did not work for me.1. The pulling tool almost got stuck trying to pull out the leaking valve. I ended up just pulling the valve out with pliers and leaving the ripped half inside.2. I went through a whole bag of 10 new valves and they all ripped or partially got inserted.3. The pushing tool ended up breaking (the flower shaped turning knob) after hitting it so many times4. the product shipped did look used. it was oily and had scratches on it already.In the end, The money I spent on the tool and 10 valves cost me more than 1 repair at the shop. I ended up going to the shop anyways and getting it done along with 2 other valves that were showing signs of ripping.

I bought a used car earlier this year which came with winter rims with tires. Bought new tires and waited until I was ready to mount on the car and came to discover all 4 had lost some air. I thought I would have to buy 4 new rims. So filled them all with air gabbed a container with soapy water and sprayed the rim luckily no bubbles but each valve stem had bubbles.Went onto the internet and found a video with this product. Ordered it and with a lot of elbow pushing and pulling all old valve stems out and new ones in used a lot of silicone oil or whatever I had to lubricate pushing them in.Filled all 4 with air and did the soapy water and works perfectly. keep checking air pressure still holding.

I see from the other reviews ease-of-use is dependent on the type of wheel. I found the tool very easy to use on my Dodge Charger alloy winter wheels (in Canada). I realise that alloy winter wheels are more prone to slow punctures due to salt damage/corrosion, but have accepted that every 5 years or so, I need to replace the valve stems. This tool saves time and money. I stumbled over the existence of this tool watching a youtube video. I found the tool easy to use, but I think this was mainly due to 2 factors. I took the wheel off the car; using the tool with the wheel flat on the ground made things easier. Also, as it was a warm day, I left the wheel out in the sun for a few minutes. I think this did make a difference because I replaced the valve on another wheel on a cooler day, and it took a bit more effort to get the new valve in. I used vaseline to lube the new valves. But, before inserting the new valves, I scraped off the corrosion around the hole (in the wheel) with a micro-chisel. I also use a miniture pick to scrape off any corrosion inside the hole. That all said, I will likely have to repeat the procedure agin in 5 years time, but it will be an inexpensive chore.

The hook worked ok (btw it came scratched/used). The cone idea is great but the design is poor. The cone never met the valve mounting surface for my Toyota rims so the gap made it impossible to squeeze through. Fortunately there is an easy fix, just add a piece of 1/2 PEX pipe, heat-expand it from one side and assemble the kit as shown at the photo. Then installation will be e a breeze. I think I could even do it next time without removing the wheel (with just jacking it).

This is a great tool! It turns a nearly impossible task into a easy job. I was about to install my winter wheels and tires when I saw that 3 of the 4 valve stems were cracked near the base. As tire shops are all booked this time of year, I did some searching and found this tool. And it worked great!The longest part of the job was deflating and reinflating the tires, as I do not have the tool to remove valve cores and used an inexpensive 12V tire inflator. Valve replacement itself took me maybe 5 minutes for the first wheel and then 1-2 minutes per wheel. The most difficult part was inserting the removal tool which required hitting the handle moderately hard.Some advice I collected from the internet and my own experience:1. Make sure the replacement valves are soft and the bottom part is easy to squeeze flat. I saw online that some valves just don't work (either old stock or harder rubber, it wasn't clear). I used cheap new valves from my local canadian tire and had no issue pushing them in. I did not try the supplied valves but they appear identical.2. Keep the new valves warm. Cold rubber is harder to squeeze. If the old ones can be kept warm, removal will likely be easier too.3. Beware of greases which might damage rubber. Soapy water works well enough.4. Put the tube against the floor and push the valve all the way to the end. Then put it against the wheel and give the handle a few good whacks with a hand. Doing it this way makes it easy to feel when the valve pops into place. I had no need to push it all the way into the wheel and pull it back.
