“making sure that others don’t get written up for trivial shit like this”

Cordless drill is much easier than the reamer.

I have been through many of these kits as I work on construction sites and pick up nails and bolts frequently, I splurged on my last kit and bought a set with proper knurled aluminum handles rather than the plastic. One thing I have noticed is that the extra plugs (the others you haven’t used yet) will age and become…

I had a tire professionally patched. It promptly (2 days later) began leaking from the exact spot that was patched. I whipped out my trusty tire plug kit, plugged it, and 37k miles later the tire still held air. All hail the mighty tire plug.

I have used these kits multiple times on cars and motorcycles. 80-90% of the time I find them to work well and hold up for quite a while. Though replacing the tire is the right thing to do, if you are cheap like me (sometimes) You can still get some good life out of the tire but I would recommend keeping an eye on the…

Not to mention the fact that the tire shop always tells you “oh we can’t patch that since it is too close to the sidewall, let’s take a walk over here and pick out your new tire.”

No rubber cement?

Good tip. Also, if you can, get a kit with the metal handles. I’ve broken a couple of the plastic handles trying to get a plug in.

Yep. Bought a similar kit a year or two ago and it’s already saved me twice. It comes in especially handy when you get a flat or puncture on a Sunday and all of the tire shops are closed.

Nah. Where I live it barely rains and the tread it still ok. But they will probably be replaced next month before the rain comes.

When I did this awhile back, the part sticking out, I just light them up and let burn for a perfect flush finish (it melts).

Cut off the leftover and melt the end is what I do. Dunno if melting is any better than non-melting, but never had an issue.

Hold the horses...you actually got rid of parts!? I thought parts in David Tracy's possession just got eternally re-used and repurposed until they rusted into oblivion.

I used this exact kit on my 2013 Accord 2-months ago and my first time fixing a flat this way. 5,000mi later its still good. I did not take it to the tire shop because I did not want to spend $20 on a summer only tire that is at 2.5/32nds and will get replaced in the spring when I take my snow tires off. Plus get the…

well jeff, please allow me to share this wonderful gem with you.

She’s got a nice giggle and she can clearly be talked into questionable acts.

Jesus dude, that owner has a family...
