4-way valve stem tools cost less than $2. It amazes me why some people
want to reinvent some things.


Assuming the tire is off the rim, can I both remove an old valve and
replace it with a new valve using that cheap 4-way tool?

Remove with a utility knife, install with the tool. Soap the stem
first.
