Tyre Valve Tool

[GSXKING]

Let me set the scene. 

Friday afternoon 2:30 PM start prepping GSX for a Sat jaunt. Everything seems fine. I'm checking front tyre pressures and after taking gauge away I hear a miniscule hiss.  :facepalm:I wet my finger and rub on tyre valve. Bingo, it's leaking, but so slowly the tyre had only lost 3 pounds since last ride maybe two weeks ago. I had those new Pilot's fitted and while there had new 45 deg valves installed.

Now to my point. I'm lucky I had a tyre valve tool in my toolbox collection. It took a poofteenth of a turn to silence the leak.

So, my question is, how many others have the tool at their convenience ?

I have a tyre valve tool in my tool box I used 1 as part if my job for years I also have a proper spoke tool aswell not that it's needed on the gsx1400.

This week I had a need for one. Used circlip pliers instead.

I had a couple of these caps on an earlier bike.

@Andre that is the exact tool I have and it's in a jar with about ten assorted valve caps.

I have one of those tyre valve tools in our every vehicle.

I always used t have one like Andre uses..I don't know what happened to it.
This is a good reminder to get another one

I change my own tyres so have at least 4 or 5 tyre valve tools but used to have the type in the valve cap on all my bikes before that.

Yep I have one In the bike toolkit , for the size of it it's a must have.

Don't they screw on as a cap to save you putting them in your tool kit etc.
I'm just being silly, they don't look cool enough to leave on.
I am very silly I have done that.

I doubt anyone but you will notice.
