Tyre fitters — protect your hearing with the Silent Tyre Deflator from Laser Tools

Tyre fitters — protect your hearing with the Silent Tyre Deflator from Laser Tools

Tuesday 22 July 2014
Working in the tyre fitting industry, hearing loss due to long term exposure from power tools and equipment, but particularly from the noise of air escaping from a deflating tyre, is a real risk. Removing a valve with a normal valve stem removal tool, the high pitched noise of escaping air can be as high as 110 decibels for car tyres and even higher for commercial vehicles. At this level, just 5 minutes per day on unprotected exposure can lead to hearing damage. The new Silent Tyre Deflator from Laser Tools (part number 5836) reduces the noise of escaping air down to 85 decibels or below.

With one handed operation it fits easily onto the tyre valve and removes the valve stem. The inbuilt silencer reduces the noise without increasing the deflation time. A strong and robust tool for the professional tyre fitter, the tool body is made of nylon reinforced with glass fibre.
