Review on ๐Ÿ’ช Efficient Valve Core Tool: Park Tool VC-1 for Quick and Easy Maintenance by Stephen Cernatescu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Shop quality tool. good tire repair tool

part time job at a bike shop and just to be different i ordered a stans tool which does the same thing but is longer and has no center slot. For home I have ordered Park and will keep it there as we use many of Park's tools at the store and I have a little more OCD with my tools than some, so a lot of the stuff I use is mine and I lock it up . get up when I'm not at work, don't want to lose or use and abuse such a tool. As part of our service, when we sell a new bike we fill the tubes with sealant, so it's used a lot. Presta valves are more fragile than Schrader valves so it would be nice to have extra cores and a tool to work with. I would suggest using Q-Tubes or other interchangeable core tubes if you tend to seal your own tubes with Presta valves and this tool is as good as it gets.

Pros
  • best in the niche
Cons
  • poorly thought out
