AME INTL Quick Valve Change Tool

We needed to change a valve stem that had perished on a commercial vehicle using this tool we had the valve stem changed without taking the tyre off in approximately 30 seconds definitely would recommend to anybody that needs to change the valve stem without taking the wheel all the tire off only thing I would say is always lubricate the rubber parts before inserting the new stem

I don't usually leave reviews, however this one is for anyone that is interested in saving time and money. This kit works really well in all ways, apart from the fact that the hook for removing the old valve could do with being a bit thinner. I had to bend mine to angle it out. Make sure to use some kind of lubricant on the new valve and use a rubber mallet on the valve rod. It went in fine and is keeping pressure. Happy!

A quality bit of kit well-made, but is totally useless when used on a Land Rover discovery two alloy wheel. The valve retrieval tool worked very well with no problem. The difficulty was trying to push the valve through the cone to seat on the wheel rim. I tried for half an hour to try and push it through and actually ruined one valve, stem, pushing so hard that the rubber came away from the brass insert. I had partial success when I used a mallet, but the valve was only half in at best using that method, it would probably work better on a steel rim which is slightly thinner.

Amazing product delivered same day as ordered and took me a couple of attempts to do but did the jobMake sure you lube valve with silicon grease then it’s a doddleComes with two valves too

Product does not work as claimed

Changed the valve on my VW T5 wheel. The kit works really well but the hook was to big for the hole in the rim so had a bit of a struggle.Other than that it worked perfectly! A great addition to the tool box!

I was able to replace the valve stem for a tire on some lawn equipment and have the tire re-inflated in under 5 minutes, without taking the tire off. If I had needed to replace the valve stem the old way (break the bead, pull out the valve stem from the back side, insert the new valve stem from the back side, then reset the bead & fill the tire), it would have taken much longer.At about $45, the cost of this kit for what it is, is outrageous. It should probanly be more like $5-$10. But the frustration & time it saves make the cost a lot easier to stomach. I saw some reviews online complaining that the puller was flimsy. I don't know if the design has been updated since then, but the puller I got seemed to be pretty sturdy. So as far as the quality of the components go, they seemed good to me.Overall, I'd say if you want to quickly change out a valve stem, this is the tool to use, I don't think it could be any easier.

Easy to use. Saves time and money to fix what could leave you stranded.

This is a great tool! It turns a nearly impossible task into a easy job. I was about to install my winter wheels and tires when I saw that 3 of the 4 valve stems were cracked near the base. As tire shops are all booked this time of year, I did some searching and found this tool. And it worked great!The longest part of the job was deflating and reinflating the tires, as I do not have the tool to remove valve cores and used an inexpensive 12V tire inflator. Valve replacement itself took me maybe 5 minutes for the first wheel and then 1-2 minutes per wheel. The most difficult part was inserting the removal tool which required hitting the handle moderately hard.Some advice I collected from the internet and my own experience:1. Make sure the replacement valves are soft and the bottom part is easy to squeeze flat. I saw online that some valves just don't work (either old stock or harder rubber, it wasn't clear). I used cheap new valves from my local canadian tire and had no issue pushing them in. I did not try the supplied valves but they appear identical.2. Keep the new valves warm. Cold rubber is harder to squeeze. If the old ones can be kept warm, removal will likely be easier too.3. Beware of greases which might damage rubber. Soapy water works well enough.4. Put the tube against the floor and push the valve all the way to the end. Then put it against the wheel and give the handle a few good whacks with a hand. Doing it this way makes it easy to feel when the valve pops into place. I had no need to push it all the way into the wheel and pull it back.

Fast delivery! Item as described! Thank you!

Works amazingly! Just used once so far, but took about 10mins to do the whole change. I though it was going to be a bear getting the new valve in, but on the second attempt, in it popped!I will say that I used plenty of silicone lube (plumber's lube) around the new valve stem - to help it slide in, and hopefully to reduce corrosion on the rim, which I think is why I think the old valve stem started leaking. Don't use normal motor grease, it will degrade the valve rubber.Without plenty of lube, I think it would have been much tougher getting the new valve stem to pop through, though I didn't try it.
