You get what you pay for. These did the job, however they are pretty short and not comfortable. They hurt and bruised my hands after using them. I would say they are more oriented to portable use such as on the road.

The spoons work great. Using 3 is a lot easier than 2 so I purchased the pair and a single. A 3 pack would make more sense, but no big deal. The wide blunt end is more forgiving on your tubes, but not fool proof. I have popped tubes using these. You still need to be careful. I've put a lot of force on mine mounting stiff rear tires and they've shown no signs of weakness. Good product.
The spoon on the end is good size and shape to slip between the tire and rim. It helps reduce pinch damage when putting the new/repaired tube back in and the tire back on. I purchased this tire iron for home use as a third iron for tough tires. I also have other motion pro tire irons (made from aluminum) that have hex wrenches for the axle nut on the handle end. I carry one of these with each of my dirt bikes for trail tire repairs, but you need two irons to get a tire off the rim. So one like this is a good second or get one with other size hex on the end. Check to see if your front axle nut is same size as rear. Some motion pro irons also have 12/13mm hexs for chain adjustment.<br />I have quite a few motion pro tools now and have found them to be good quality for the price. Some are unique and very helpful and time saving for motorcycle work.
Nothing fancy but does the job well. Curved spoon tip prevents damage to tyres and rims, but should be used with a rim shield if you love your rims as the pewter finish is slightly rough.
I got 2 and they came in a plastic pocket so that's nice. They work fine. No sharp edges and a decent curve on the spoon end. Very strong. The finish is much more matte than it looks in the photo so they have a grainy feel against the rim. They get the job done. Also the loop end can be put on an allen wrench or something for extra leverage in a pinch.
Absolute must have, makes diy tire changes a breeze and helps prevent damage to the bead. You'll need at least 3 but more is always better.
