best tire iron I've used in years
There are lots of tire irons available, some good some not so good. Many look fine until you use 'em, then you discover the sharp cornered business end can pinch tubes, mar alloy rims and generally make life miserable. These well thought-out, economical irons are very nicely made, comfortable to use and the rounded spoon ends won't pinch your tube unless you do something daft.
I've used them on vintage wheels with tubes and modern wheels with stiff-walled tubeless tires The latter are never easy to deal with, but these irons work as well as any I've used.
Had one for the past couple of years, used with a variety of other irons, and recently bought another because the first has worked well for me.
Service from Fortnine is outstanding. Very quick delivery in spite of me living in the bush. Very pleased with both products and service.

Excellent Tire Iron For The Shop
I have used all types of tire irons. The straight type with the hook, aluminum spoon type, the big steel ones with a hook, and now these ones. These are perfect for the shop (get the flat aluminum ones for the trail). The shape of the spoon is excellent, offset just enough at the tip to facilitate getting under the tire without damaging the rim. The chrome finish appears to be relatively high quality and helps the tire slide on the iron and will prevent corrosion over time if it remains in tact. I first thought the textured grip was a bit gimmicky, but once my rubber gloves were covered in soapy water I realized the texture helped to maintain grip. The tip of the spoon is nice and narrow which helps getting under the tire, but if you're inexperienced, the sharper tip could lead to more pinched tubes. A longer tire iron is not necessary, if you feel you need a longer one, watch some videos on youtube and work on your technique. If you're cursing and swearing while changing a tire, you're doing it wrong :).

Soild Tire Tool
Nice and sturdy, however the thicker handle makes tucking underneath a brake rotor near impossible. On the other hand the thicker handle provides a better grip. The spoon type head I prefer.

Comfortable and works well
I've owned just about every tire lever over the years and these are the easiest on the hands and worked well. The end is very thin yet strong so it makes it easy to get under the bead putting the tire on.

Work great.
Made the tire swaps easy, lot of leverage, used a few times without pinching the tubes.
