[@ifitsnotbrokenfixit1193]

Thats not the way to do it Justin. You are supposed to just ignore it. No pre trip or pos trip. Just get in the Pet and go.

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

Those dykes I sent you would be good for this.

[@ifitsnotbrokenfixit1193]

@@Toyotas_n__Tools Yes they would work great for that.

[@CARBIDE76]

I wonder how many roadside shops accidentally lose lag screws and bolts in all the areas where commercial vehicle tires go.

[@lionsdejudah]

$50-$70 a patch is well worth a handful of screws to the local tire repair shops.

[@wilmergonzalez5080]

Nice never plugged a tire before but seems pretty easy usually at work we just patch em

[@tommater2724]

We put air fitting into the truck air tank and use that for the air to fill tires

[@CPthetooladdict]

Safety seal is the best I've plugged a lot of tires with that kit!!!

[@Vater1]

Thanks this built me enough confidence to go for it.

[@forkliftmatt6683]

Dot will love this ur suppose to only patch heavy truck tires....

[@ko9446]

Forklift Matt is there a law that says you can not plug the tire?

[@forkliftmatt6683]

KO dot finds out it can be a pricy ticket your only suppose to patch from inside not plug.

[@shortthrow50]

Forklift Matt omfg you have got to be kidding. Just shut up now. You would be the only person on the planet earth that had a dot going over all the tires looking for a plug which would be impossible to find unless spending hours wheeling through each wheel. You are being a nit picking hater d-bag. Why the heck you searching this video anyway you assnutz

[@DavidJohnson-ri2on]

@@shortthrow50 I bet you would change your mind if a customer had a blow out and killed themselves or someone else. Forklift Matt is right. You need to patch tires even in cars. Hell Audi dealerships are not allowed to repair tires anymore period only replace for that purpose. The packaging on the plugs even say not for DOT use.

[@thomasduncan8279]

One thing I do pal is put a little rubber seam in on that rope it makes it go in a lot easier but it sometimes it makes it come out too easy too but if you do it just right it sure does help sliding it in and when you twist it and pull it back as long as you don't pull it all the way and suck it back out it works well just let it sit there

[@BlakeMerckleTrucking]

the job we were on yesterday the guy ran over something in the dump an put a hole in his float he tried to patch it. 5 plugs later he broke down an had them bring a new float dump truckin ain't cheap an some days just ain't ur day

[@TheBleghfather]

If I had only knew your last sentence 5yrs ago I would never have bought 8 of them.🙄🤣💸

[@glenwhatley7366]

Hey Justin, just a heads up on why those pliers work so well on prying and gripping fastener shanks. They are actually designed to remove collars off of hi loks in aviation.

[@ignacio7884]

Thanks for this video,,, i did this with my tire today....u helped me out a lot

[@alexfal8206]

I use 1/4 in drill i cut the plugs in half been doing it for years no problems but rather than risk that needle snapping and inserting its self in my chest i use a wooden lever you can make a loop around the frame rail put one end of you lever in place the lever above your needle and simply push down on the other end easy no sweat hope this helps

[@tomas19cronin]

Little tip for getting the rubber string threw the eye of the tool just dab the end in rubber cement that sucker will slide right on it

[@thomashughes7277]

In the uk that is illegal, they are temp repair only. You should remove the tyre, inspect it and patch it properly. Mot fail in uk aswell.

[@thereviewer4173]

The tire plugs actually do work very well, but they need to be installed properly, and if the hole is big, one may need to use 2 plugs. The problem also is that people don’t want to read the instructions it comes with. I’ve installed a few on a semi truck and have yet to have any fail on me.

[@ac-ir9gs]

You guys can't even spell tire correctly why TF would we Americans trust your opinion

[@joeclarke9782]

Grind the t handle tip to a sharper point. Goes in like butta.

[@richardrasmussen7334]

That’s what the silicone lube is for your stick the plug in the silicon and then it slides right through the slotted tool

[@dieseltrucksfirewood2540]

Excellent job, I have the exact same brand (Safety Seal) in all of my vehicles. They work, don't leak and are made in USA.

[@robalan57]

Needle nose Vice grips do a good job of getting things out. It was all real easy to do on a Toyota Tacoma tire.

[@travishodges5179]

Use the reamer that comes with the kit, take the handle off and put it in the drill, then use tire patch glue and dip your plug in it, works as a lube and glues it permanently in place, cut off excess plug and light it, let burn down to flush, Will bond the plug all the way through the tire

[@thereviewer4173]

Drilling is not needed and can be a bad idea without first finding the actual injury hole. That’s why the semi truck tire plug kit comes with lube so you can find the hole. Once you find the hole, you can drill it if you want, but the tire plug kit comes with something to clean the hole. Also, if you’re struggling to push it in, try using a rubber hammer. You’ll be surprised.

[@MrZimmaframe]

Top tip, once you have a good grip on the screw or whatever is in the tyre, get a pry bar and use that to help leaver the pliers up while pulling out what ever is in there.

[@TheBleghfather]

The whole time I was like...."where is his screwdriver?"🤣

[@tanuki379]

Those plugs go easier is you let the pressure down to about 20 lbs last for life of tire heavy haul tested.good video

[@charliedynamicsllc2208]

I thought you was singing at the beginning. 80s rock style lol 👍👍

[@joelnystrand6843]

You are doing great job at your video man but do you have more video for tomorrow

[@marcuskillion3023]

Just a note on proper tool names. There is no such thing as a drill bit. A bit goes in a horse's mouth. The " drill " is a drill motor. It is a drill and a drill motor. My daddy taught me that when I called it a drill and drill bit. Now you know. 😂 Good video.

[@mandgweathering1]

Is it possible to use car plug on truck tires will it work?

[@dougackerman4182]

Awesome video Justin

[@tf2t]

Watch this video on how to plug a tire but if you have to watch this video to learn how to plug a tire you're a dumbass. LOL Love it.

[@estiben3508]

I drive a walkin floor.we basically do the same work ..i need a tool for nails that are in too deep...what u use for that?

[@PaulyD0859]

The struggle is real! Getting those rope plugs in is such a PITA then, half of them leak. Tech Tire Repair has a tool called an Insert-O-Matic. Used with their gum rubber coated inserts, it stretches the insert, making it easy to get in. Then, putting some vulcanizing cement on the insert causes the insert to vulcanize to the tire for a permanent repair. The tool is about $20, a truck needle is $2 and their truck size inserts are $46 for a box of 40. A few bucks for a can of vulcanizing cement and you're off to the races.

[@rootkitxx]

Hey Paul! Whats the part numbers you use for yur repairs, their website has lots of tools and plugs Im a bit lost. I did find the tool, as I need a teuck needs I assume you need thicker one? Which plugs?

[@dowjones9663]

My new favorite KZbinr

[@dylanfowler7404]

Plug good in a pinch but why not patch if your at your shop already

[@rustybrowneye]

Theres alot of good wood in these pallets behind you

[@JUSTINSTURGILLTRUCKING]

Come and get the goddamn things

[@BigDogDuramax]

Holy fuck. He's one of us

[@dayvid_rrola]

You can use rubber cement when you puttin the plug on the tool makes it slippery and helps when putting it in the tire.. i dont like the lube it makes plug come out

[@stevebolog6339]

If you would let all of the air out they go in a lot easier. Lube you’re plug before inserting into the tool

[@stevebolog6339]

The kit also comes with a razor blade to cut plug flush with tire

[@billlee1724]

They go in easier when the tire is full.....

[@stevebolog6339]

Full of what?

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Good repair video JST

[@albertjones6176]

0:55 how I feel when I have a flat.

[@gtarider477]

You should try the stop n go plug system

[@shawnbarber5356]

lol you dont plug truck tires is the proper answer im no safety sally but first you dont plug a transports tire second you wont find me airing up a tire thats been ran low for who knows how long but you have fun with that and kids dont do this

[@joelnystrand6843]

Wow you got nice tools man I'm love tools too

[@DavidPerez-cd9tu]

Nice video Justin keep em coming!

Once you’ve got it up that’s what they invented the claw hammer for

Thanks, Justin awesome 👍

Tough guy with pirates 🦜 language 😂

[@tanaka.shinji1]

You saved my day thks

[@azdragoon72]

I can't believe they allow these on semi's. I would think you'd have to patch them.

[@prevost8686]

If it’s a nice tire I’m patching it instead of plugging it. Yes, it’s more work but a plug should be an emergency repair only.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Nice tips thanks for the link!

[@calvinpettet8007]

Snaped off hose clamp on a charge air tube

[@MuffyThePomeranian]

holy shit that’s a lot of work. how much do you charge for that?

[@freddiebebop]

How on Earth can you figure that's a competent repair when you didn't use a single drop of rubber cement glue which is used to activate the plug so that it's sealed properly

[@thereviewer4173]

It depends on the plug kit. Some plugs do not need the rubber cement. My kit doesn’t come with rubber cement, but I still put some on it.

[@kygambler22]

Like mayor Pete, You pull out...

[@vladipful]

and now iam in the same boat as u

[@AdamQuiklikit]

I was always told plugs aren’t DOT approved

[@thereviewer4173]

They might not be, but there’s no way of telling without taking the tire off. Mechanic shops use a combination of both a tire patch and plug. It’s one piece that serves the function of both.

[@kurtzbradley]

I have a kit like that but it is called Blackjack...wonder of they were bought out by the chicoms or mexis. I use it on the wifes van...she drives over every nail and screw she can f..kn find and can usially have her going again in 10 minutes lmfao.

[@jonplay3602]

Is this a permanent solution or do you still need to change the tire as you seem to indicate at 11:40

[@inoahmann7542]

It's temporary... unless it works. I have a few trucks in my fleet rolling around on plugged tires. I usually pull the tire off and patch it from the inside, but I'm not doing that while the driver is waiting.

[@thereviewer4173]

You have to know what you’re doing. Failed plugs are usually due to mistakes when installing them. A plug can also fail if the injury hole was too big in which case 2 or 3 plugs can be used.

[@mojazzn9091]

Where that STEROID JERK baby boy! I have never drilled just force it in with a little cheap tire glue on the plug. Check for leaks with Bleach White it will show the smallest leaks on any tire. Damn I started sweating watching this, knowing it's coming in a couple weeks. SHOOOOWEE

[@dirtwork]

God i hate plugging tires, feels like im gonna have a stroke trying to push that plug im!!!

[@cpddan]

Those plugs will allow air to get between the plys and cause delamination. Take the tire off and use some of these patches. It prevents the air from getting between the plus.

[@thereviewer4173]

Not true. If you install a patch only, there is a risk of what you mentioned. The plug keeps water away from inside the tire wires.

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

haven't you done this video before? I swear I seen you do this before lol

[@garyytrucking6628]

35 years owning dump truck and I have never plugged a tire that what tire guy is for. And he always patch it

[@teamdada2194]

Dot, dot, dot, cmon man. He’s in the local game at night maybe? My dads been running beat up old dump trucks for 45 yrs for himself. Justin has new equipment that looks good. He’s been pulled over twice. Im in the regional trucking game and I donthe same thing he does but plug from inside when I get home. Sick of hearing people who are scared of the dot when they make an app that tells if their open. Been driving 5 yrs and never had an issue with the revenue collectors

[@brooklyn718941]

Never plug your commercial tires people. Take it somewhere so they can patch it in the inside

[@billlee1724]

All this lube and drill bits and shit, I throw the reamer in the garbage first then pull that screw out and stuff that damn plug in😂😂😂
