I am a bike mechanic and have used Park Tool plastic levers, metal core levers, and countless other generic brands. No other brand has worked as well as Pedro's. They are a bit bulky and cumbersome with stubborn tires, but I have had very few break on me at the shop. They also clip onto spokes nicely and therefore eliminate the need for 3 levers. I have my own personal set that clip together and fit in my small saddle bag nicely. Highly recommended.

These tire levers are thicker than usual, making them very easy to use and helpful for both taking the tires of my mountain bike putting them back on. My only complaint is that you only get 2 of them (generally tire levers come in 3's), but this isn't a big deal and they still work fine.

I read the reviews on Amazon and online for good bicycle tire levers and I have to say Pedro's Bicycle Tire Levers are the best! They are very sturdy.

They come in a pair and I thought I only needed one to change the tire. Well it turns out it's easier to use two at the same time. So if you like to have a spare at home I recommend purchasing two pairs of these. One for the road and one at home, it's the same shipping price anyway.

For those of us who ride in bike-unfriendly terrain (mountain biking over trails with jagged rocks or urban riding with curb-jumping over broken-glass-strewn sidewalks), this tool is indispensable.

With a spare tube and portable pump, this set of tire levers is your salvation if you get a flat, so you don't get stranded miles from help.

Highly recommended for avid cyclists!

this was the first time I've ever changed a tire on a bike, so i rolled the dice and got these because of their low price. the picture makes them look a little flimsy, but they're actually pretty tough. they did the job well, and they snap together so you don't loose one. not much else to say... buy them.

Inexpensive and work great for me removing 700c x 23 road tires. Also, work fairly well for putting the tires back on except for that last quarter or so that requires a lot of muscle. From what I've seen, I'll agree with others that most companies sell tire levers in packs of 3 BUT I have seen some sold in pairs AND in my use, 2 has been plenty enough. Get the first lever on and hooked on a spoke, slide in the next lever and I can run it all the way around and remove the tire. Lastly, from my research through bicycle repair books and websites, this set from Pedro's come highly recommended above other brands (including Park Tool).

These levers are sturdy and thick. I changed several flats (both mountain and road tires) with these levers and experienced zero issues. I received these from a bike mechanic during an instructional course where I learned to easily remove all but the most stubborn tires with one lever, so the lack of a third lever did not impact my review. They take up just slightly more room than the flimsier levers but perform significantly better - I highly recommend these levers.

I've spent too much money on tire levers in my life. Avenir, Parktool, Icetools, REI store brand, no brand, you name it. One particular combo of rims + tires I own ate them all -- ALL OF THEM -- like it demanded sacrifice or something.

Enter Pedro's. Despite repeated uses on my problem combo, they never broke. And, even with use on all of my other bikes, they still have yet to break to this day. (Perhaps they have a hidden ability to exorcise a bike mechanic's worst nightmare, bike demons?)

In chit-chatting with shop owners, they tell me that even Pedro's' levers break. I'm sure that's true, but in the meantime, Pedro's levers offer performance head and shoulders over the competition at the same price point. That gets a 5 from me!

This is a great tire lever and seems very strong and does not give when working. I like that they snap together and you can clip it on to a spoke when working to free up a hand.

After having gone through 2-3 different sets of levers and breaking or bending the crap out of every one of them, I settled on the Pedro's and haven't looked back. These are a bit on the thick side, but they work great. I've been stranded because of broken tire levers and these haven't ever let me down.
