SporsterSporster: These narrower and smaller tire levers will get into the tighter “tubeless ready” 700c road tires with ease. Reduces tube pinch during installation with the thinner and smaller spoon (13 mm). I compared them to 2 of Park Tools best tire irons. The metal glides better than plastic levers which are bulky, wide and very thick (see pictures). REMEMBER: Changing tires requires finesse, lots of practice, and of course patience! NOT brute force which will bend a tool or worse ruin your rim. Many weekend cyclists never master a tire change as proof by some of their reviews. Small bites get the job done the best as you carefully tuck the tube in before inserting the next tool. Also, powdering your tubes can help a lot against pinch bites. Are they stainless? Maybe, but a cheaper “ferritic stainless” because they are magnetic. The polish and superb finish are like a surgeon's instruments. If you know how to use and store them properly, they'll last a lifetime. The low profile design is great for storing in your bike bag and they only weigh 80 gms for a set of 3.

Ronnie: Have flats all the time, these make it faster and easier to change your tire! Screwdrivers tend to pinch the tube and cause un wanted holes in your tube! With these no shape or pointy ends! Makes flat tire fixes so much more easier for sure! I recommend this because I think everyone should have a set if you ride bikes! Easiest way to fix a flat! A bike shop told me once! "If you don't want flat tires! Don't ride your bike" so true!

KK: I used them right away and realized it will take time to get used to because they're so skinny, and they're metal. This doesn't speak to their quality. I can see them lasting for a very long time. They hurt like heck on my hands though as opposed to the thick plastic ones. Also, I can see them tearing into the tube or tire if you have really strong hands and/or cheap tube/tires, or maybe rims. It's metal on metal after all. So maybe it's me, but as beautiful, sturdy and small as they are, you need to be careful and gentle with them. But I still like them a lot and for the price, I highly recommend! Hope this helps. Stay safe everyone!

ts320: After I switched to Ultegra wheel with Vredestein Fortezza tire, I have difficulty removing the tire with nylon tire levers. It's really tight and I need something with thinner tip. Before getting these I was using small screw driver which has a sharp edge since the nylon ones with fat tips can't get under the tire edge. I started to search for stainless steel tire lever with thinner tips. I bought a few different ones from Amazon to try. I like Corki's best.

Pros -
thin/flat tip - this is the requirement
strong - It's made of stainless steel. It seems to be strong and durable.
smooth finish - Corki's finish is very smooth (better than Tragoods', though Tragoods' has the same shape with thin tip)

Cons -
weight - it's heavier than nylon ones to carry.
