Saw this on a DIY TV show and picked this kit up a couple of years ago after others had valve stem issues. No dismounting tires to replace a valve stem. Should be awesome.
I'm here to tell you that "IT IS"! After putting up with a valve stem that was damaged from rock rash, I decided that it was time to put this tool to the test. I was home and in my shop, a nice controlled environment. It took me longer to get a pair of pliers than it did to complete the job!
I grabbed hold of the old stem with said pliers and gave it a good yank. Most of the old stem came out with ease. What is left can roll around inside the tire. Had I read the directions first, part of this kit contains a hook handle that would have extracted the entire thing. Too impatient.
I lubed up the new stem and "popped" it right in. Filled the tire with air and good-as-new! Every rock crawler should have one!
10 out of 10! Rating: (1= dont waste the money, 10= Super deal)

After a few tests I found the remover tool to be absolutely useless. The install tool works flawlessly though with one exception... You MUST use lube. We tried a field test without and it just rips the valve stem.
