Has any of you used some of these?

So I'm in search of the perfect tire iron. I have tried the rim protectors only to see them disintegrate on me to find scratches on my rim So has any of you tried these? They look interesting and since they're plastic, I'm thinking they shouldn't damage the rims.

Well the picture shows them being used on a dirt bike and for that application I think they would work fine. Don't think they'll work all that good on say the FZ1 rear tire (190/50) with it's short and stiff sidewall...:2cents:

I use this set. Motion Pro - Assorted Tire Iron Set

The 16" iron has the curve in it which reaches inside that 190 rear VERY well to grab the bead and lever it out. The 11" are the helper/holders and aren't the best for leverage. That 16: is my work horse though.

I use pretty much the same ones... but my straight irons are rubber coated on the "handle" area...

Here's mine: This is the greatest purchase I've made for my bikes. Tire changing in a heartbeat. DOES NOT OVER STRETCH THE BEAD. A lot of guys don't think about this and have torn the bead trying to mount them manually. I believe you can get these for less than $800 now if you shop around.
