The STEELMAN 422117-2PK Lube Swabs are ideal tools to use when applying lubricant while mounting and dismounting tires for changes or repairs. The soft cotton filler is held tight at the core by the looped wire handle and spine but is loose at the edges, allowing it to hold more lubricant than denser swabs. With the ability to hold a larger volume of lubricant it is easier to apply it using fewer and more even passes around the rim and tire.
