MINDCOLLISION Basketball Valve Replacement Valve, Sports Ball Leak Repair Kit, Sports Ball Doctor, White and Black Valve, Suitable for Basketball, Football, Volleyball

I got this to repair a volleyball with a leaking valve. Instructions are not provided with the package, so you may want to print/download the instructions from the online product photos. The removal tool took a couple of tries but cleanly pulled out the old valve. I found the inside of the valve to be a little slippery for the hook to grab hold of, but appreciated that the hook wasn't so sharp as to slice the valve into small pieces. I delated the ball a little extra so that I could also push the old valve from behind as I pulled with the hook. The replacement valves are all prelubricated to make replacement easier and to provide a better seal. I managed to push one side of the valve in with the rounded side of the hook. I gave the new valve a spin within the hole to make sure it was seated fully and pumped it up. The ball holds air without any leaks, so no complaints.

It took about five minutes to change the valve. I verified the old valve was leaking by putting the ball in water. Bubbles were coming only out of the valve, nowhere else. The tool they supplied was fine for removing the old valve. I used a pair of needle nose pliers to put in the new valve, which was a little difficult, but still took only about a minute. It has to be coaxed into place. After in place, the valve protruded about 1/8". I expected that, since the new one is about 1/8" longer than the old one. I just cut that off with a razor blade. I checked it again in water, and there were no bubbles! A similar replacement basketball (Wilson Evolution) costs about $80 now, so this cheap, easy fix means I didn't need a new ball (though I got a new one anyway!)

This took me less than 10 minutes total to repair an old ball I had. I’m glad they had a quick video on how to quickly remove and reinstall the valve. No longer have issues of leakage. The rubber had a good seal. From the valve. Came with a crochet needle. I already had a needle, nose, plier, and a side clipper. Good price and value for money. I have another ball that I am going to replace valve so the family will be ready for spring and summer.

Worked and fit great on my 2018 World cup ball that i almost gave up on! Used to leak air from valve and now retains air perfectly. Just need to cut off the excess material. It is a bit difficult to put the new valve in. I used the tool it came with and pushed one side really hard until in went in. You do need to use quite a bit of force. Happy with the product 😁

Trying to replace the valve on a $80 football for the save. Tool to pull out original valve does not work. Might work on cheap balls, but not of quality. Upon inserting new valve, I lost 2 valves inside the ball that are loose. Now impossible to get out. Ball is 100% ruined now. Should have gone elsewhere. Returning this.

This kit was easy to use. We repaired a couple basketballs successfully. One other Evo continued leaking after the valve replacement. Disappointed because those balls are expensive! Not the valve’s fault though. Worth trying the kit. Especially with the included tools.

To remove the old valve was relatively easy once the tool got a firm hold, then it only took a constant pressure while pulling and it was out. Replacing the valve was definitely more difficult, to force the new one into that little hole. Don’t get discouraged, just keep pushing, it will finally just sort of pop in. Then the excess rubber was carefully cut off with sharp razor blade. The valve works, no leaks and the ball has kept its pressure.

These replacement valves are soft and seem to hold air so far. However they are not precision molded compared to the Tachikara factory replacement valves. The pull-out tool included is not worth the effort. I resorted to using a long thin needle nose. Actually two needle nose pliers work best to pull out old valves. I needed these fast otherwise I would buy direct from Tachikara.

Did exactly what it was meant to do. 2 month later still keeps air in the ball.

Tappi per pallone facili da sostituire

Mit zwei kleinen Spitzzangen habe ich das alte Ventil ziemlich leicht ausbauen können. Dann habe ich, wie im YouTube Video empfohlen, das Ventil mit Rasierschaum benetzt und dann in den Ball geschoben. Mit dem beigefügten Werkzeug ließ sich das Ventil mit wenigen Handgriffen im Ball einbauen. Den Überstand habe ich mit einem sehr scharfen Messer abgeschnitten. Der Ball ist jetzt dicht und ich sehr froh, dass ich ziemlich kosteneffizient den Ball reparieren konnte.

Las válvulas se colocan fácilmente, pero sí están algo caras para la cantidad que trae el paquete.

I bought this ball valve kit to change my leaking soccer ball valve. I have a soccer ball that would deflate after a week. I had another soccer ball which was more expansive than my current soccer ball, that I try to fix but ending up destroyed. If I had this tool kit I would have still have my expansive soccer ball now. It makes the job easy changing the valve. I don’t regret purchasing the tool kit. It is value for my money.
