Park Tool VC-1 - Valve Core Tool Tool,Blue, standard size

The took I never knew I needed!!! Simple, but brilliant and effective…usual Park Tool quality and associated smugness you get from buying the best for a quid extra.

It’s hard to say much about a valve removal tool, but Park Tool stuff is generally good quality.

It’s suitable for purpose and good quality, but, as with Park Tool gear, it’s gonna cost you!

Excellent product does the job as it says.

Alive ridden bikes for 20 or so years now and never thought I'd need such a tool until one day I had a puncture and swapped it out for a new tube. Which I fitted in fast time and inflated and off I went, only to find after about an hour was deflating. That day I learnt 2 things, firstly always check that your inner tube cores are nicely done up to avoid the embarrassment that I had. Secondly this tool is so easy to use to tighten inner tube cores. We have al it of bikes at home and yeah you could use other tools too do the job but this was relatively cheap and dedicated to the job and so easy to use. Build quality as ever from park tools is amazing & this is so light it's easy to carry on rides

Ideal when needed

good quality tool - a bit too expensive in my view. Much needed if you use continental inner tubes where the valves always seem to undo with my pump. Does what is supposed to do

Great replacement for my plastic took that broke. Not the cheapest, but should last.

Tool parfait, s'adapte parfaitement aux valves.

i decided to go tubeless and this product helped me in the transition! the tubeless setup is based on the following products purchased from amazon: 1. taylor wheels- 26-inch wheelset (with mavic xm317 rims and deore xt hubs) 2. xtreme bike & sport- schwalbe nobby nic 26x2.25, ss, tl-easy (2015) 3. think fast- stans notubes 10ydx21mm rim tape 4. think fast- stans notubes 2-0z sealant injector 5. bike a mile- park tool valve core remover 6. trail this- American classic valve stem for t/less wheels products from local bike shop: 1. velox rim tape 10mm 2. stans notubes tire sealant- 16 oz tools required: 1. rim levers 2. air compressors I tried the co2 to inflate the tires, but I found that an air compressor works way better. tires are running at 35psi. I used the velox rim tape to secure the spoke's nipple access and the stans rim tape to make the rim air tight. the 10mm velox rim tape is perfect for the xm317 rims because it was narrow enough to allow exposed metal contact for the stans notubes 21mm rim tape. the velox rim tape also reduces the chance that the sharp edges do not cut the stans notubes rim tape. I used the injector to put in 2-oz of sealant via the valve stem. this process is less messy than trying to put the sealant via the bead/rim gap or mounting the bead. no leaks or loss of air after 40 miles of riding as of this post! AWESOME!!! ALL THE PRODUCTS PURCHASED THROUGH AMAZON WERE PERFECT AND RECEIVED IN EXCELLENT SHIPPING TIME! tubeless is the way to go. my wheels setup are now much lighter than with the thorn resistance inner tubes (some tubeless setups are heavy than with inner tubes, so it is a good idea to be selective in what type of tires you need for your riding style). as of benefits, I do feel the bike accelerates better and seems more responsive due to less rotational mass. this tubeless setup is mounted a on a 2000 klein attitude comp hardtail bicycle. trail on!

Comodo, funzionale e leggero, più che robusto per applicare la limitata forza che serve sulle valvole. Toglie i core da valvole sia Presta che Schrader e aiuta a stringere le estensioni per le Presta. L'unico difetto, comune a tutti i prodotti Parktool, è il prezzo. Se lo scopo è solo svitare i core delle Presta, ci sono attrezzini in plastica da pochi centesimi. Per le Schrader se chiedete al vs. gommista è facile che l'attrezzo ve lo regali, ma qs. è indubbiamente molto più figo!
