The longer aluminium tools are simply the BEST for the workshop. In fact, small enough that I use it in my tool bag as well. - https://www.evobikes.co.za/product/park-tool-vc-1-valve-core-tool/ Same item is available from a wide range of manufacturers, at an equally wide price range. Or for the tool bag ? Plastic ones are okay for this, though the "Nutcracker" is VERY handy !!

Steady Spin Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 I also don’t agree with the R200 price. It doesn’t fit my valves and needs to be modified to work. Garbage product from Park Tool.

Garbage product from Park Tool. If you have a chain breaker similar to pic, the little gap at the bottom fits perfectly around the valve head to allow you to unscrew/screw.

I pay less than half the price compared to what it costs here and thats after shipping and duties. Even cycling clothing is a major ripoff. Those materials costs so little per meter, but the finished garments are almost always ridiculously high.
