Is that any good for mtb tyres ??
I have the black " scissors" type but they are not wide enough fur mtb tyres
If you look at my picture it has both the scissor type and the var which is smaller

Pliers like those are purely for fitting difficult tyres, when you might otherwise be tempted to use a normal tyre lever to get the last bit of bead over the rim. There's also the Simson/Kool Stop type, and the Var lever (mediocre for removal. but considerably more portable than the al;ternatives if you know your tyre is difficult to fit)Anyone used pliers?
It's always easier to search for and resurrect a nine year old thread. Much easier than posting in a current thread.

Remember...we are now into school holiday season.
Mod Note:I disagree, searching previous posts and analysing the results is not easier than posting in a new thread.
Being able to search databases quickly is one of the big advantages of software. As a Software Engineer for over 30 years, I will always use this facility.
Some of 2013's levers are no longer around or have changed design. Hiding current info on the end of an old thread seems unhelpful, as well as all the merged posts being marked "new" for those of us who already read them. Could some note be added to the first post suggesting to check the end for current products, please?Mod Note:
Threads now merged, lots of useful info under one roof.
Thank you to all contributors, from 2013 to 2022 and beyond
