Silverline Tyre Valve Repair Tool 4 - Way (380153)

Cheap and cheerful, most folks never need one but if and when you do they are indispensable. The finish on mine was a bit untidy and needed a couple of minutes with a small file but a folded piece of sandpaper would have done the trick. At this price, I wasn’t expecting perfection

I bought this to remove the valve on my cycle tyre in order to put in some tyre sealant (Slime). I found the tyre sealant container had a valve remover incorporated into the cap. However this is a better valve remover, that can be used on those occasions when the tyre sealant cap becomes clogged, or use this one and put the cap on the sealant container to stop it spilling.It is really easy to remove a valve so don't be intimidated. It is just a case of unscrewing the inner part of the valve, then screwing it back in when you have finished. If you are filling the tyre with sealant, as I was make sure the valve is at about the 4o'clock or 8o'clock position while you fill it so that the fluid does come straight back out through the valve.

This is a great little tool if you just want something easy to tighten/undo the valve insert. I'm sure it does the other things it's designed to, but I only need it for that one use really, and at £1.30-something with free postage, you can't go wrong.I've bought a couple of other Silverline things, and haven't really been all that impressed, and the reveiws they get are often really poor. But for a solid little tool, I couldn't see where it could go wrong, and it doesn't! I bought mine to tighten the insert on my motorbike tyre - I can see how on a pedal-bike the piece crossing through the tool might get in the way of the spokes (and it's fixed in place - doesn't slide out), but my motorbike spokes are spaced apart enough for that not to be an issue, and to be honest if it's a problem, I would just get a hacksaw and cut that bar off the tool! That, or buy a different one - there are loads to choose.

This tyre valve repair tool is very well made. It is reasonably priced and if you register it with Silverline you get a lifetime guarantee. As a DIY tool it will probably not be used very often by me but it performs the job very well and its nice to know if any problem does ever occur its back to Silverline.

What can you get now a days for 2 quid not much that is well made. Well this little tool has valve remover, boring out tool if sealant is in valve, Can be use on MTB & Road bikes.Grab a bargain for 2 quid & its so small fits anywhere in your little tool kit under seat or at home.

Very easy and stopped my valve leaking immediately after tightening it (a 3 second job). So cheap, I don't understand how they can make any money from this

This is a ok device for your valves, small enough to put in your cycle bag or pocket.

everyone should have one
