AKRON, Ohio (January 28 2016) – Ken-Tool has announced introduction of the new 29850 Tire Valve Installation tool to aid tire service technicians with the installation of “snap-in’ rubber tire valve stems into automotive, light truck and trailer wheels. (NOTE: This tool is not for use on threaded steel or brass valve stems on heavy-duty trucks and trailers.)
Made in the U.S.A., the new tire valve installation tool is made from cadmium plated, high carbon steel to insure a long service life. The handle is made from a slip-resistant polymer for comfort and durability. It is very robust and durable, ideal for fleet and service bay use.
The tool features a notched polymer rim guard to protect the wheel rim from damage, and is ideal for aluminum alloy and chrome-plated wheels. The rim guard features five fulcrum notches to provide the technician with the right leverage point to pull and seat the tire valve in a wheel. Additionally, the Tire Valve Installation tool has a fully pivoting head to insure the correct stem angle as it is pulled into position on the rim.
The Ken-Tool 29850 Tire Valve Installation tool weighs 9.6 oz. (0.27 kg), is 12 inches (30.5 cm) in length. The Ken-Tool 29850 Tire Valve Installer tool carries a Limited Lifetime Warranty. It is polybagged with a hang tag for vertical retail display.
