Perfect tool for bike
Perfect tool. Does exactly what it says. I removed the tyre and put it back easily.

Easy to use
This is infinitely better than any traditional tyre lever. I was skeptical about how effective it would be but after failing to hook a new continental gatorskin on my road bike, I ordered this and I was able to put the tyre on with 1/3 of the effort I had put into using trad levers.

Verdict is still outstanding
Chunky tyre removal lever ..On tight fitting tyres one would still have some difficulty removing and fitting. Normal plastic tyre levers have a hook to lever and hook onto a spoke then use another to lever the tyre off the rim.. With this tyre lever you haven't that first option. Should you have a tyre that's not as tight on the rim you shouldn't have a problem. This tyre lever looks indestructible , a good lever , good in length, then the reverse push to put the tyre back in the rim .. sounds easy 🤔 practice makes perfect and muscle power would be beneficial...

Gets the job done quick!
I’d recently had to swap out my bike tyres a few times and realised I’d lost my cheap generic tyre levers. I wasn’t looking for anything fancy, and the price of this nearly put me off, but I’m so glad I went ahead and bought the Tru-Tension Tyre Monkey. It’s excellent! Much quicker and easier than any tyre levers I’ve used before. One end removes the tyre safely, the other helps you re-insert it, which is a huge help when dealing with new tyres that arrive folded and want to twist in every direction. It has a built in Presta valve spanner too, which I have no use for, so can't comment. I watched Tru-Tension’s short how-to video on YouTube to get the technique right, and despite being very out of practice (it’s been about five years since my last puncture), I removed and refitted the tyre in around two minutes; excluding taking the wheel off the bike. I also appreciate that it’s made from strong plastic rather than metal, so there’s no risk of damaging the wheel, tyre, or tube. It’s compact but feels chunky and sturdy in the hand. If I lost this tool, I’d replace it without hesitation. It’s now an essential part of my daily-commute kit.

About 50% useful - failed by a few fundamental design flaws - mostly it just needs to be longer!
So, another tyre fitting gizmo, hoping to improve upon the humble tyre lever. I have a draw full of such things - and none has yet succeeeded in this seemingly simple task. But this one does come close - and with some thoughtful improved design could actually work. My experience is with tubeless mountain bike tyres, which may be at the harder end of the tyre fitting spectrum. Taking off - design fault 1 - not quite long enough (both in the lip to get under the bead - and in overall length to provide leverage) to get under the bead, so needed a well designed tyre lever (personal favourite muc-off rim stix - nice thin end to get under bead, but chunky and long enough to lever bead off) to make enough room to get the gizmo under the bead and start unseating the tyre over the rim. Without the extra tyre lever in play, you can't actually get the bead over the lip far enough for it to remain there - just pings back in behind the gizmo. With extra tyre lever locked onto a spoke, gizmo starts to unseat the tyre.... until tension rises in the bead as you stretch it over the edge of the rim - and you come to a juddering , knuckle grazing halt. Note here that I am very careful to move the entire bead of the tyre into the 'gulley' in the centre of the rim before starting this process, to keep bead tension to a minimum - this is error no 1 in most tubless tyre fitting issues. Here is design fault no 2 - the gizmo is too short to hold firmly enough with your whole hand to push hard enough to get past the sticking point (note - muc-off rim stix size would be about right dimensions). Why is this tyre lever gizmo so small? No-ones hands are this small. Daft design decision. Make it bigger, it's only a few pence worth of plastic!! Design fault no 3 - when you have levered the bead off, the angle of the bead hook to the main lever you are holding is too low, and your knuckles are grated by the spokes. Increase the angle so pressure can be applied to the body of the lever while the hook is under the bead without losing your knuckles. But if you can get enough pressure on, with the extra tyre lever in place - bingo, off comes the tyre. The principle of the gizmo is good - the design execution, not so much. Getting the tyre back on - actually really only one design flaw here - it does do a good job of pushing the trye over the edge onto the rim and keeping tension on the tyre bead while you do it, so the edge behind the gizmo is not falling off (which is what tends to happen when doing this manually). However, the same design fault (no 2) as pertains to removing the trye in terms of it being too short and too small to apply enough pressure also holds here - when you get to the last 6-8 inches of tyre bead, tension reaches a maximum and it is nigh on impossible to apply anough pressure with the measly dimsenion of the gizmo to complete the task. But with enough effort, it does pop on. Just make the damn thing bigger!!! You are charging an outrageous £10 for this small piece of palstic - making it 50% bigger (and angling the handle to the bead removal hook) will still leave you with a very reasonable profit margin!

This is a game changer for removing/replacing bike tyres
OMG. All the times I have struggled with tyre levers to get my bike tyre off to repair a puncture when there is this tool can do it within seconds. I gravel ride quite a lot and, touch wood, have only suffered two punctures this year. One of which I repaired at home, one whilst I was out on the road. It's no messing about. From taking the tyre off, replacing the inner tube, replacing the tyre, 5 minutes tops. I never go out without it now. Excellent gadget. Dearer than the levers but great value for money if you done want to be sat about too long. Very light, especially hardened composite plastic and doesn't take up much room in the tool bag.

Tyre Monkey not for me.
Bought this tool to solve my Continental GP 5000 issue of mounting and removal on Campagnolo wheels. The Monkey works well to get under the bead and prise the bead over the rim. However that’s as far as I could go, I just couldn’t apply sufficient force to get the tool to slide around the rim. Even using body weight behind the pushing force, no movement. Not the strongest of people by any means but also not the weakest, but try as might I couldn’t shift it. Used additional conventional levers (which I originally couldn’t even get under the tyre bead) to finish off the process. Refitting was the reverse problem. The Monkey guides the tyre nicely back over the rim until the last 20-15 Cms, it then jams under the increased tension of the tight bead and become impossible (for me) to move any further. I had to resort to the risky job of using additional lever to help prise the bead over the rim. All the above was tried whilst still using the method of creating less tension by repeatedly pinching the bead into the center of the wheel well to lessen tightness, trying some more and repeating. So for the above tyres in 25c does not do the job. In conclusion :…….. I FOUND THE TYRE MONKEY TO BE AN ASSISTANCE WITH THE USE OF CONVENTIONAL LEVERS. THEREFORE NOT WORTH THE EXPENSE. VERY DISAPPOINTED. ☹️☹️☹️
