I run some very very tight fit slicks on my bike and i tend to snap the plastic levers quite quickly. ive tried the metal ones and i just put holes in the inner tubes with them.
so can anyone recomend me some decent tyre levers as it stands i go though a pair a week (just a little hamfisted). do they make metal cored nylon ones?

I don't like metal levers due to the fact they scratch my rims, but only ever FOUND one, never bought them! Get some park tools levers.

I snapped six plastic levers.
Then got the Soma ones apcmtb linked to.
Indestructible! (almost) and no scratched rims.
Even used one (+ a rock) to straighten a dinted rim.
