Designed by a professional trucker, the new Ken-Tool 29995 ValveCapper tool provides a 2-in-1 product to easily remove tire valve stem caps, especially on the difficult to reach inner dual valve stems. It also can quickly remove and reinstall valve cores from the valve stems, the company noted.

The tool is 11.5 in. long, with a fiberglass shaft covered with a durable polymer coating. It is designed for use with metal stem caps typically used on truck valve stems. According to the maker, one end is inserted over the valve cap, the flexible tip holding it for removal and reinstallation. The opposite end features a valve core removal tool to conveniently service a damaged valve core. The long shaft allows easy two-handed removal and reinstallation of the valve core in the stem. In addition to convenient access to the inner dual valve stems, it eliminates dropping valve stem caps, the company added.

The Ken-Tool 29995 ValveCapper is available in a 25-piece retail counter sales display.  The tool’s retail price is $11.95.
