1 : Ease of use. Found this to be one of the easiest tyre tools I have had the pleasure to use! Even hard to fit tyres were no problem, and even the MTB tyre, where one side of the tyre usually comes off the rim as you get to the end, this is no problem with the Clip and Easy-Fit system. Points awarded 5
2 : Quality of manufacture. Not too sure how long the Pro Form would last in a cycle maintenance shop, but I feel in the average cyclist kit bag a long time. Points awarded 4
3 : Gentle on the rims with no scratch. This will be gentle on any rim. Points awarded 5
4 : Value for money. I think the price of around £9.99 is good value for such an amazing tool! Points awarded 5
