These are really neat. I just froze my first batch of cubes and they turned out great. The silicone material is really neat. I was buying ice before I wised up and bought a couple of these. They really are great. The only reason I didn’t give them five stars is because I haven’t seen how long they last. They should last years… really sturdy material.
Rating: 4 / 5
All other levers I’ve used break, or are not easy to use. These don’t break. The longer one is perfect for getting the tire started. Even though there is a technique for removing tires without levers that I use sometimes, I still carry and use these. I have one for each of my three bikes.

-Bulletproof, these things are freakin strong, I don’t think you can break them. They were advertised to me as such, and I have to agree
-Smoother, thinner “scoop”. Whatever the tip of the tool it called, I appreciated that these are thin and smooth, moreso than other tools I’ve used, helps get them in and slide them around easier.
-Ergonomic, they feel comfortable in my hands, when applying pressure with some of the more “square” tools, they tend to dig into my hands a bit, not these.
-Not a really big deal, but yeah they snap together so it’s easy to keep them together, have never had them pop apart while in my bag/anywhere.
Cons:
-Cost? I’m not even looking around, but they seem a little pricey…for the last set of levers you’ll probably ever need though. (then again how many would you need with a cheaper pair? probably the same)
-Size? A little longer/fatter than your average bike tool. They don’t seem heavy but I know there are more compact bike levers that’d fit in a saddle bag, these wouldn’t fit in smaller saddle bags.
All in all, recommended, can’t really go wrong with them if you’ve already agreed to the price.
