Ken-Tool Introduces The ValveCapper PRO

Ken-ToolKen-Tool, a leading provider of automotive and tire service tools, has released its ValveCapper PRO (Part No. 29999). The ValveCapper PRO is four tools in one – a valve cap remover and installer as well as a valve core remover and installer.

The valve core end features a patent-pending design that grips and holds the valve core to keep it in the tool safely until it is ready to be reinstalled.

The ValveCapper PRO is 11.8 inches long and molded from glass-filled nylon. This length allows the tool to reach inside the dual tire’s valve stem without discomfort or risk of burns from hot wheel components. Each end of the tool features a flexible thermoplastic rubber grip. One end is designed to fit over and remove the valve cap and the other end features a valve core remover that grips and holds the valve core. Because the valve core is held in place, the chances of dropping or losing the core are reduced dramatically, Ken-Tool says.

Another benefit to the ValveCapper PRO, according to Ken-Tool, is that the cap end is long enough to accommodate popular double seal, flow-through valve caps. Originally designed by a trucker, Ken-Tool is proud to report that the ValveCapperPRO is completely manufactured in the U.S.

The ValveCapper PRO weighs 1.6 oz. and is available individually or in a counter-top merchandiser pack of 25 pieces (Part No. 29999M). The merchandiser showcases the ValveCapper PROs in a clear display and includes a tethered demo valve stem so potential customers can see how the tool works and try it for themselves. The suggested retail price for the individual ValveCapper PRO is $13.95 (Part No. 29999).
