I ordered these because the store I usually go to was closed due to the COVID-19 lockdown in Michigan. I haven't had a chance to use them because I've since realized they'll be reopening here soon. It really sucks to put a nail in a motorcycle tire at a time like this. I almost want to buy spare wheels with pre-balanced tires. LOL Anyway, I just don't need a good tool. I've used tire shovels before and they definitely weren't as powerful and robust. I love adding curls to the grips and will definitely be ordering longer ones in the future as I work with 15" or larger wheels.
