Highly recommend Adam Savage’s latest video! He spent years using a bike as his primary transit in NYC and understands the freedom it brings. Nice to see a prominent voice validating that we don't need 4,000lb boxes just to navigate a city.

My understanding is that those tools are mostly for mounting - this is intended strictly for unseating the bead. It’s a very specific tool, and maybe not for everyone, but it’s very good at what it does, and we think mechs who deal with a lot of tight tubeless setups will appreciate it.
