Entered by Ken-Tool’s distributor partner, BV Corporation FRANCE, the reCore TPMS Sensor Saver System was cited for its innovative procedure to repair a corroded or damaged TPMS valve core and stem on a wheel, with basic hand tools, without dismounting the wheel and tire.  A tire service technician can quickly and easily repair the damaged valve stem in 10-15 minutes without replacing the sensor, placing the customer’s vehicle back on the street while avoiding the cost of a replacement sensor.  The corrosion-resistant Ken-Tool reCore TPMS Sensor Saver System has been proven over thousands of miles of real-world testing, in a wide variety of extreme climatic conditions.

The reCore TPMS Sensor Saver System starter kit (p/n 29980) includes reCore TPMS Sensor Savers, installation tools and thread-lock contained in a durable blow-molded and handy plastic case.
