An auxiliary fixture for a tire pressure monitoring device has a handle, a positioning base, and a holding lever. The positioning base is connected to the handle and has a pivot segment and a clamping segment. The pivot segment is deposited on a rear side of the positioning base and is pivotally connected to the handle. The clamping segment is deposited on a front side of the positioning base, is connected to the pivot segment, and has two adjusting elements and a pushing pin. The adjusting elements are deposited on a front side of the clamping segment, and the pushing pin is deposited between the adjusting elements to press against the tire pressure monitoring device. A distance between the adjusting elements can be adjusted to enable the adjusting elements to clamp the tire pressure monitoring device. The holding lever is connected to the handle.

A valve repair tool is a rod having a forked valve stem extractor on one end and a cap at the other end with a flare fitting rounding part built into it.

Described are valve stems for wheels or other pressure vessels that may be installed from the exterior of a wheel or pressure vessel without access to the interior, pressure retaining areas. The valve stem may include a body with a barrel and taper. A neck may be between the body and a base that includes a flange, a flange landing, and an air aperture. An air channel runs vertically through the valve stem to allow air to pass from one side of the valve stem to another with a valve core or other flow control device. The base of the valve stem may include a groove that allows the valve stem to be installed into a hole by twisting such that the groove may ride along the rim of the hole and guide the valve stem into a fully seated and sealed position.

A tool attachable to a valve stem of a tire grips and removes the valve core from the valve stem prior to introduction of sealant through the tool into the tire. Subsequently, the valve core, which has been stored in the tool, may be reinserted into the valve stem. An external pressurized gas source may then be attached to the tool so that gas may be injected through the tool and the valve stem of the tire into the tire.

A valve cap and core tool has an elongate shaft terminated by a valve core head at one end and a valve cap head at a second end. The valve cap head has an elastomeric sleeve that is sufficiently elastic to slightly stretch about and securely engage a valve cap. The valve core head has an elastomeric sleeve, and coaxial with and interior of the sleeve is a rigid tube that terminates distal to the shaft at a bifurcated end. The rigid tube bifurcated end is designed to drop around and engage with a valve core, and with continued rotation unthread the valve core. Within the core of the rigid tube, and preferably securely engaged therewith, is an elastomeric tube. The elastomeric tube is of appropriate diameter and sufficiently elastic to securely grab and retain the valve core.

An air valve connecting device includes a housing, a sliding member slidably engaged in the housing and having a pathway selectively aligning with a passage of the housing, and the sliding member includes a mouth for engaging with an inflation valve, a gasket is attached to the sliding member and includes a bore for engaging with the inflation valve, and a number of pawls are engaged with the gasket and each include a lower portion extendible out of the housing for engaging with the peripheral rib of the housing, and the peripheral rib of the housing is engaged with the lower portions of the pawls for forcing the pawls to force the gasket to grasp the inflation valve to the sliding member.

An articulating tire valve install-removal tool and related methods for use. The articulating tire valve install-removal tool has a body comprising an outer perimeter, an inner recess, a threaded member, a linkage and a contact member. The articulating tire valve install-removal tool components are connected to each other and secured within the body so one or more components can rotate around one or more axes. Together these components facilitate in the valve being installed and removed perpendicular or generally perpendicular to the valve hole on the wheel. The articulating tire valve stem tool includes a linkage assembly that is attached to the body to facilitate in ensuring the valve is installed and removed with the valve perpendicular to the valve hole in the wheel rim. The articulating tire valve stem tool includes contact member includes a feature that prevents slipping on the rim during use in addition to acting as a fulcrum to increase mechanical advantage during the use of the articulating tire valve install-removal tool. The articulating tire valve stem install-removal tool includes a contact member that has a feature that inhibits or prevents damage or slipping on the wheel during use in addition to acting as a fulcrum to increase mechanical advantage during the use of the articulating tire valve install-removal tool. The contact member also includes a feature to lock the threaded member parallel or generally parallel to the body which allows for the device to attach to the valve quickly. The body of the articulating tire valve stem tool reduces deflection, increases ergonomics and is more durable due to the design.
