I've had a Schrader valve stick open when checking tire pressure and whacked it with the gauge to re-seat it.

I carry the cross shaped tool for removing Schrader valve cores and other chores.

When I was younger I used to put a glob of spit on the valve to check for air leaks. If I care, I now use some soapy water. I have a sink and dish washing liquid I keep handy for such chores.

Question: Can I use the same high speed valve cores I use in our bikes?

R&R the valve and the tire will probably be flat, and if a single not a dually the bead may need re-seating.
