Straight Plastic Valve Puller for Aluminum Rims
Puller for tubeless valves | Length approx. 295 mm | Sold as 1 pc.
A scratched aluminum rim is a problem that's easier to avoid than to fix. This puller is made entirely of durable plastic, so even with an imprecise motion, the risk of scratching a rim is far lower than with a metal tool. Notches on the working tip keep the puller positioned on the rim edge during the pull, and a thickened section at the end of the handle keeps the tool from slipping out of your hand. At approximately 295 mm, it gives enough leverage for typical motorcycle, car, van, truck, and agricultural wheel sizes.
What it's used for
Mounting a tubeless valve means pulling it through the rim hole at the right angle — and on aluminum rims, there's the added concern of not leaving a scratch. This puller was designed with exactly that kind of wheel in mind: the plastic it's made from doesn't mark aluminum the way metal does, and the notches on the tip keep the tool in contact with the rim edge throughout the pull.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the metal version, 17-606?
This model is made of plastic instead of metal, which significantly reduces the risk of scratching a rim — especially an aluminum one. The metal 17-606, in turn, holds up better under heavy mechanical load.
What are the notches on the puller for?
They keep the tool from slipping off the rim edge while pulling the valve through, which makes the motion easier to control.
What's the thickened section at the end of the handle for?
It keeps the puller from slipping out of your hand during use, which matters when more force is applied to the tool.
What wheels does this puller fit?
Standard valves used on motorcycle, car, van, truck, and agricultural vehicle wheels.
