Buen producto de momento pero tarda muchísimo en llegar

Good product I use them on all my trailer tires, they do rust a bit but I go into very dirty locations all the time so that plays a factor, I will purchase again this is my 2nd or 3rd bag, great seal, no leaks, looks great new, recommended

I had some steel trailer rims start to leak through the actual steel. Not at the weld or anything like that but rather through the steel, indicating the steel must have been porous and defective. I found the leak by submerging the tire in my pond. It was the second rim to have this problem. In my opinion, shouldn’t happen no matter how old they are. But it did. Completely flat overnight on a tandem axle trailer. Cold/winter (15-20 degree temps) made it much worse. Given the set was over 15 years old and no way to repair it, I bought all new rims and these valve stems to go with them. I swapped the tires over myself with a set of tire irons just to prove to myself I could do it if needed on the side of the road or something. No major issues but it is a little bit of work. I tried to reuse the rubber snap in valve stems since they were almost new like the tires but they get damaged upon removal. After using these metal stems, I won’t go back to that style. They went in very easily, have no leaks, and if needed I can easily reuse them. I really like the high pressure rating of these valve stems. My previous rubber snap in were high pressure but only rated up to 80 psi. These are good for up to 130 psi if I remember the specs correctly. There’s also no exposed rubber for UV sunlight to degrade. In years past, I’ve had rubber stems snap off after becoming brittle due to sunlight. This problem can’t happen with these.

Great

So yes you see the 1575 reviews averaging 4.5 stars. So did I, so I made my choice. Figured I’d use these for all sorts of things like gas cans, sprayer so bought the 25 pack when I only needed 9 for 2 vehicles. Set one up in a spare rim to verify fitment, which for me wasn’t great BTW, as you may likely have clearance issues with the big washer against your rim edge. Wasn’t great for either application I wanted to use them on, an aftermarket alloy rim or a old steel truck rim. Still I figured on keeping them, had left one out in the spare rim, just sitting in the driveway, IN SUMMER, no salt, never on a car, so no brake dust, JUST 2.5 weeks sitting in a rim in the driveway with 2-3 rains. Looked at it this morning, the washer rusted and pitted. Fortunately I look at orders and have till tomorrow to return. Back they go. Also were only 24 in my sealed bag, a few were disassembled with loose parts (caps washers) in the bag, so all told missing 1 complete assembly and missing 1 cap. I will try an “all stainless” version by another seller and hope that it is.
