Thursday, June 17, 2010 The Valve Breaker
 Ken-Tool announced its latest tire service tool, the Valve Breaker™, to quickly remove valve stems from demounted wheels.
The Valve Breaker is compact and powerful. Using a slide ram design to drive a heat-treated punch into the valve stem seat to easily pop the valve stem out of the rim after the wheel has been demounted and the tire has been taken off; this allows the technician to quickly remove the stem with the wheel on the floor.
The Valve Breaker protects the operator with a rubber safety-grip drive handle and a vibration-absorbing rubber grip on the outer tube. A protective flange at the top of the tube helps to prevent pinching.
