Query: A joke with todays tires

I bought a set of these years ago at which point they worked fine on the soft, stone age tires that I road on my mountain and road bike. I recently got them out of storage to put on some new WTB Dissent, steel bead tires. Lets just say the tires won. I can literally bend these in half, and rip off all three "hooks" while trying to install a single tire. By the time I was done, my tire levers were scrap plastic and my tire was laughing at me. I don't understand how others are rating these as "sturdy". Maybe if you're putting on a kmart nobby. Anything with steel bead, or a post 2000 road tire....good luck, because you are going to need it when you're standing in the boonies with a flat and 3 broke tire levers.
