 Works well, but not recommended for permanent repair Dec 28, 2007
By J. Lane
The kit works well, but as the instructions say, the tire should be inspected by a professional as soon as possible. While I have used tires for many thousands of miles after they were repaired only with the plugs, tire manufacturers and the NHSTA recommend that the tire be repaired from the inside rather than just the outside. The recommended inside repair puts a plug in the hole and a patch over the area surrounding the hole. This is supposed to keep air from entering the rubber, which could lead to a bulge. The inspection by a professional, if done with the tire off the rim, lets him look for damage that is not visible from the outside.

 The cheapest solution that will work great Nov 15, 2010
By Chris Edwards

After having a few nails and screws flatten my tires, I started to learn how the guys at the tire shops were fixing them (for $10-$20). The last time I took a tire in it took the guy no more than 60 seconds. I thought, heck, I can do that. And what would be really cool is to be able to do it when I'm stranded somewhere on a road trip. So I bought one of these kits. This morning I had a chance to try it out. There was a screw stuck in my tire and I just turned the wheels so that I could access it, i.e. left the wheel on. Everything worked just like it was supposed to. The handles are good enough to take the determined force you need to use to ream and set the plug. The plugs and glue were in good shape despite being baked in the spare wheel area of my black car for the spring and summer. It paid for itself already.

nice kit Aug 01, 2009
By Deer Hunter
This is a fantastic kit. But be sure to take the tire off to work on it, otherwise you'd have a hard time inserting the plug. Also, use a grey Sharpie to circle the puncture area. It is a lot easier.

It works great! Jul 14, 2011

Bought this in store in Target (same guy selling here in Amazon). 2 of my rear tires had nails (a self tapping + long woodscrew on the other). The other tire deflated to flat so I used my temp tire to bring the flat to the gas station. They plugged it with pink plugs and charged me $10 without installation. So I was in Target and saw this. It has 4 plugs so I figured I can save myself the time and effort of going to the gas station each time (seems more work if its a busy place). Since Im a DIY kind of guy I tried to fix the other tire even though it wasnt losing air. I jacked the car up and took out the tire and saw the self tapping screw lodged in. Took it out and let the tire lose air for a bit. Followed the instructions applying the rub cement on the plug before putting it in through the hole. The hard part was trying to force it in the tight hole. Pulling it out was somewhat easy but didnt really give me that warm fuzzy feeling before doing so because I figured that I might do it wrong. So with one rapid pull it worked to my amazement! I thought the whole thing was going to be cumbersome but the tool did release the plug since it has a release slot for the plug. I used a sharp knife to cut the gooey tar plug to proper length and had to clean the knife with a Brillo Red - 18 Pack. I put back the tire and checked the pressure the next 48 hrs and its been keeping pressure. Its already paid itself off by one use! I just dont know if the roughing tool is necessary but I did it anyways. I doubt the gas station even does that step.I will probably leave this in the tire compartment as you never know what could happen on long trips. And Ill probably get a more decent portable compressor and air gauge on Amazon.Q Industries HV35 SuperFlow 12-Volt 140 PSI Air CompressorAccutire MS-4021B Standard Digital Tire Gauge

I've repaired many tires using professional versions of this item. This setup works as it should and the tools included are of decent quality.
