Nifty little tool

Never had a leaking valve stem in 58 years of driving.

I use metal ones on the OKA. Been there 20 years and counting.

I've carried a similar tool for about 40 years and about 20 years ago I was squeezing past a fallen tree on a track in the VHC and a sliver of timber I hadn't noticed amongst the greenery slid around the wheel and neatly cut the valve stem off flush with the wheel.
I used the tool to replace the stem and we were on our way again.
Haven't used it since but still carry it along with the first aid kit, PLB and HF radio.

Hi Ivan,

Looks like a good bit of kit.

Macca.

The clip shows an inflated tyre with a problematical tyre stem...?. Wouldn't one need to deflate the tyre as a first step? Worried...

Yes it is a neat little kit, but where do you draw the line?
Most people carry two spares ,tyre repair kit and compressor when travelling remote and many carry a few spare studs. If you try to cover every conceivable incident you would need a second trailer.
When you average it out it is a once in many lifetimes event, if you have damaged two wheels beyond patch up and then damage a valve stem you need to learn how to treat a vehicle or just stay home.

For a number of years I have carried a tool-less alternative to this, which adds very little weight or space taken up in the spares kit.

Never needed to use it, but good to have.

Unfortunately the two part wheel rim design on our OKA means these are no longer useable, but I still think that they are an easier to use alternative for many, to the one in the video above. (I now have to carry longer metal valves which require the two halves of the rim to be separated).

Colby Emergency Tire Valve Stems (yes the spelling is correct, they are an American made product). They also have a 'permanent' replacement version which needs a half inch socket instead of the 'butterfly' handles.
