Customer Reviews

Nice Tool
Eventually, you'll need a tool like this (that is IF you change your own tires). This little tire lever is great. It did not come with instructions, but having change tires with screw drivers, I figured out a method, and it beats the screw drives hands down! It made changing a tire SO much easier (Why did I go for so many years with out one?).

Plus, these guys are sturdy, easy on the hands (with rounded edges), compact, and very, very inexpensive.

Substitute the patches with your quality ones and this would be a great product.
This Lever/Patch Kit Combo isn't all that bad. It actually feels good in the hands when using them. I only have two faults with this. #1 The patches that come with it are junk. If you buy this product make sure you replace them with quality before you ride. #2 If this was only a little thicker it could have held a place for a small tube of vulcanizer. Other than those petty things, it's compact, lightweight and stores your patches and sandpaper within it. I used it many times on my MTB and road bike and the levers worked great.

Not working with my tube
I had a flat tire that had two little holes very close to each other. I patched the holes using one patch in this kit. But after leaving the bike in the sun the hole afternoon, the tire became flat again.
I can't rule out either it was because a wrong fixing or the high-temperature, but it turns out a failure using the patch.
Still, this kit set looks very nice, and compatible. I want to keep the box. Although the patch or my skill may need improvements.
