I have that exact same tool. You make it look so easy popping the valve out. I had a hell of a time getting mine out and had to use a lot of force, but I finally got it. shoving the new one in was a lot easier for me than getting the old one out.
Brooo! Been a minute, but i bought a spalding tf no.M ball awhile back AND a Stranger Things tf 100. I know someone mentioned the tf100 lost air, but both of mine have been good....except I screwed up. I love ❤️ practicing half court shots. Love it. Turns out thats a super dumb thing to do with expensive leather basketballs.. Long story, valves are blown! Fml. So here I am. Thanks for the vid man.
yeah bro. most people don't even know this. They're assuming that valve is clued to the bladder but its just it own piece. Alot of people would buy a few ball when their old ball started to leak air.
What up dudes, I just had this happen to me last night. Read online to try using a thin enough flex grabber tool to get through the hole of the rubber bladder to grab it out. Just did it right now and got the valve out of my wilson. I had to manipulate the claw of the grabber to get it to close smaller and fit in the hole.
@@EverythingBasketballs right on. I mean more for the guys question if you accidentally pushed the valve into the basketball. You can retrieve itbusing a flex grabber tool. Not all is lost if it happens! 🤙🏼
@@Castor22TroyI’m boutta try this. I literally just got my NBA ball last week ball and the valve fell in the ball. Ball is wayyy too expensive to replace or even return it
