These things are good! I've spent most of my life using 6" or 9" tire nozzles. What a STRONG pain! I've finally stopped changing my own tires, but if I had bought a tire changer and LONGER buckets I might still want to change them! I've only used these to replace large car tires and I loved them! I don't know how long nice, shiny chrome will last, but who cares? Chrome helps them "slide" on the rims for a while. in the game! Did I mention I just got smarter and got 14.5 tire scoops? An interesting moment. I ordered 2x 11" and a 14.5" spoon together with "rim protection". dr Rock sent me THREE 14.5 inch spoons with no rim protector! I might owe them some money, minus the cost of the rim protectors. I hope they see this review and we can get our revenge!
