PCL Launches New Valve Core Tool

PCL is claiming its new valve retracting tool eliminates the risk of injury from “flying valve cores” and also helps operators work faster. Removing a valve core during inflation is common practice, but can be dangerous. PCL says it has overcome this problem with the Valve Core Retracting Tool, which is especially designed for the safe installation and removal of tyre valve cores during inflation.

According to the company, the Valve Core Retracting Tool should be used in conjunction with a safe and reliable tyre inflator such as the robust and accurate MK3; the rapid, digital ACCURA 1; or the fast and simple AirForce dial unit. Available with a Euro clip-on or sliding clip-on tyre valve connection, with an integral tailpiece, the Valve Core Retracting Tool features a clear body, allowing the operator to see when the valve core is fully retracted.
