Djb, I just watched that video with the straps. I need to add a velcro strap or two to my repair kit on some of my bikes, that worked pretty good. Thanks for posting, even an old mechanic can learn new ideas on occasion.
Decades ago when I had a bike with chromed steel rims, I used my steel motorcycle tire levers. but I do not want to risk using steel tools on my aluminum alloy rims.
