I now have a tool board so would like some long tyre levers that I can hang up.

Park do some large metal ones, have a pair in my tool box, look a bit evil for most jobs though. Generally I don't use tyre levers as I've developed the technique for working the tyres on and off without the need

Does anyone make a tyre lever that has an audible alarm or light when you are about to kill a tube while trying to remove a tyre?

You'll never guess what I did yesterday, again... 😯

For a workshop tool, the Kool Stop Bead Jack / Tyre Mate can be very useful. It makes it much easier to fit tight tyres, without damaging the tube.

I like these, picked up a set at a bike show recently:

Pedro's levers are simply lovely. Come in pink too.
A delight in the hand.

Pedros are as long as you need and the best available.

Pedros are alright. Lezyne powerlevers are quite a bit better though- the hook is thinner which makes everything easier especially with tight tyres. They're not long, but they do have a hole in the top so you can hang them up, and they cost about £3 for 2. Only downer is, they're not indestructible, I broke the tip off one fitting a tight dualply- but it cost £1.50 so, frankly I don't care.
