valve tire stem tool substitute? - ak_petey - 14 May 10
I do need to pick one up.. they are pretty cheap.....but I did not have one when I needed one today!
I remember from an off road wheeler magazine article that someone wrote about using something other than a valve stem screw driver tool (that happened to be very common) to tighten up a valve stem screw...or remove a buddies air from tires as a prank.
This info could be useful for when ya forget to bring your valve stem tool or cant find one before and after airing down/up at the trail head. :clap:
post all and any good ideas!

A miniature needle nose pliers sometimes can do the job as well.

A small flat head, really small. I just happen to have a set of mini screwdrivers in the rig and in the dodge, for some reason, and they work great. I also have the valve stem caps that are also valve tools.
