Innertube Valve Stem Snake

I just changed my first tire in a long time. I never used one of these before. WOW. This is going with me everywhere I go went I take a patch kit or spare tubes.

I put the tube in the tire with this little gizmo attached and at the right time to get the valve stem set just gave it a little pull and POP, it was up in place.

What a neat idea! Do I NEED this? I'll bet I could do without - but I don't want to. In the comfort of my back yard, on a nice day, this made the job so much easier. I can imagine pulling a tube out and patching it and stuffing it back in on a wind swept chilly day, with sore and cold fingers. This will be the bees knees.

I thank myself at times when I peruse catalogs from a quality organization such as Aerostich. I have struggled working on fixing flats or new tires many times before this, and this valve stem snake suddenly makes the job so much easier. Thank You, BLH
