Quick Stiks are awesome, I still have a few. I'll add that if you like the Quick Stik, you'll probably also like the much newer CushCore tire levers (aka "bead dropper"), it's like a Quick Stik on roids. The CushCore lever is marketed to help with the sometimes difficult installation/removal of CushCore tire inserts (for tubeless tires), but the CushCore levers don't care if you're working with CushCore inserts or not, it's basically just an incredibly beefy, very ergonomic tire lever. Like the Quick Stik, it's not the best tire lever for every situation. And as tire levers go, the CushCore levers are crazy expensive. But at my bike shop, we do use them occasionally, and not just when working with CushCore inserts. They are a nice tool to have around IMO.
