Fall= Valve Stem Check?

[LibertyTC]

Ok be honest..when was the last time you checked your valve stem cores for tightness?

My valve stem tool stays in Jeep's glove box, and is truly "custom"
One Bicycle Valve stem cap & a leftover antenna adapter...:icon_lol:

Geez, wouldn't you know it....they all needed a bit of tightening!

To be honest
6-8 times a year at least
But then being in the tire business for several years its an old habit
that and having the proper tools to measure tread depth
( have one of those??)

Good Idea Tom, I had to dig around in toolboxes to find it...

What's a penny ha ha...They were phased out in Canada in Feb of 2013.
Phasing out the penny
We round to the closest nickle now!
I remember using the US penny head trick in years past too.
Thankfully, the tire depth gauge is accurate and makes you look like you know what you are doing! :icon_lol:

But not everybody needs a tool as a crutch to get them to look like they know their stuff! :happy175:
