		<description>So instead of re-inventing the wheel, they re-invented the Campagnolo &quot;Peanut-Butter&quot; wrench.  Clever.</description>

		<description>I prefer to use large levers over the cheap skinny ones.  I own the park tools SS-15 single speed wrench which also has the 15mm wrench and a spoon tire lever in addition too a 15mm pedal wrench and a bottle opener.  

I will probably pick up the PDW wrench to supplement my park tools wrench since my two favorite tire brands, specialized and continental, are a bitch to mount and unmount and I need the extra leverage of these two levers together.  Plus I also need two 15mm wrenches since I struggle every time to remove the front lugnuts and its damn near impossible with one wrench.  

As far as the cheap plastic levers I no longer purchase those.  Instead I use the small aluminum alloy levers made by Lezyne to finish removing the rest of the tire so I dont destroy my expensive tire or the delicate inner-tube.

I also spend a good amount of money on my acrylic nails every month so I am not going to risk destroying a fake nail and the natural nail underneath it because I snapped another plastic lever in half.</description>

		<description>Brian,

The idea for the wrencho was born after I snapped a plastic lever off and peeled back my thumb nail on the rim. That was a real treat, as you can imagine. I never wanted that to happen again. The 3Wrencho is a flat fixing tool, that is why we made it with a lever and a 15mm, as those are the tools you commonly need. I agree, it cannot get all tires off, but I&#039;ve been surprised how well it works where plastic levers have bent and broken.</description>

		<description>I guess the fact that tire levers are indeed light, skinny and cheap is the whole reason why I&#039;m wondering why a lever was chosen as the opposite end of this tool. Considering the price, and especially considering the multitude of other combo tools that feature a 15mm on one end and (insert tool here) on the other, I think I would opt for a set of dedicated levers and either a simple 15mm wrench, or another 15mm combo tool.

Then again, there&#039;s probably lots of folks out there who have been waiting for a tool such a combination to round out their tool kit.</description>

		<description>$25 for a single lever isn&#039;t cheap.  Of course, this one does more than skin tires off rims, but I&#039;m with Brian:  when I do need a lever, one is not enough.  I suppose I could carry one of these and a couple of cheapies to back it up.

Is the plastic coating on the 3wrencho vegemite-approved?  How &#039;bout Nutella?</description>

		<description>&quot;I would still need to carry around at least another lever in my kit… or two.&quot;

So, carry one, or two. They&#039;re light. They&#039;re skinny. They&#039;re cheap.</description>
