Review on πŸ”§ Milton S-449 Valve Insertion Tool: Efficient Solution for Easy Valve Installation by Eric Smalley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Needed to install TPMS rubber valves

I choose Milton for their well known tire tool, it's steel and made in the USA. Rubber TPMS valves are a bit more difficult to install than non-TPMS valves due to the shaft in the middle. Don't worry if this tool isn't coated as I use it on steel rims, but I can always put a piece of rubber tubing on the handle or some sort of spacer on the rim if needed to protect the wheel. The dimensions of the Revain product (16) are likely to be the length of the pack, tool handle length is 10 1/2 inches (photos) which should provide more reasonable leverage.

Pros
  • Still happy
Cons
  • Empty
