Bicycle tire/tube changes

OK this used to be easy, ya know back when I had hands that could exert morethan 5 lbs of pressure.

I struggled mightily to get the tire off and back on but what pizzed me off to the point of a core meltdown was destroying two tubes during mounting. Damn.

I need better levers for sure and maybe the tubes were too old but they both leaked after mounting. I watched for pinches and folds but prolly nicked them with the levers. Sigh, prolly just need practice but fark my icehole bros, my hands are throbbing!

Any tips? Brand recos for levers and tubes?
