Years ago I worked in a garage that had one of these puncture repair kits. No one used it and no one knew how to use it. We used the rope style plugs with glue. I remember looking at the mushroom plugs and wondering how they were used with the kit. Thanks for posting.

[@knobsdialsandbuttons]

You're welcome, thanks for watching !

[@fugglestick]

If common sense doesn't tell you how to use it...common sense not that common. I use them, 30secs to do the plug. Never had one fail unlike the sticky ropes...

[@driveryte]

You can get screw type plug, just screw it in with a Philips head acrew driver only takes seconds to do

[@SigmaSheepdog]

These repair kits do work quite well. I have fixed a light truck tire and two motorcycle tires with success. But, after doing some research, I now use rope plugs for my tires.

[@jimpie231]

I purchased a similar tool about 35 years ago. I have repaired about 20 flat tires in this time frame. I paid $10 for it from JC Whitney (Warshawsky). It is kind of difficult to use. Mine actually has a puncturing tool with insertion part, so when you remove the reaming tool that part stays in. The plug is mushroom shape (rubber) and you coat it into your can of rubber cement. The rubber cement is Coates into the hole and also under the mushroom repair plug. You insert the mushroom rubber plug into the gun, same as this kit, but you now screw it onto the piece that was left into the hole with the reamer. Then you press the gun and the rubber stays and everything else is removed. I never had a leak repairing a tire with this gun.

[@Galaxieman]

I have had the same kit for 30 years. Repaired many tires with it. Love it. The only problem I have is that I am running out of plugs and the plastic insertion points. Any idea where they can be purchased?

[@bubbalo3388]

The plug strips with a rasping tool and the strip inserting tool is easy, cheap and refills easily found anywhere even from convenience stores and large grocery stores. And they are cheap but effective. I carry them in the car along with a flat head and a Philips screwdriver, pliers and a pump when I go on road trips.

[@krusty9407]

I lived in the Santa Cruz Mtns, Ca for many yrs. A lot of carpenters in the mtns. A lot of nails on the roads. I used one of these, they have issues. I like the eyed shaft thingy, you put a slightly sticky strip-patch into the eye, use some glue, jam it thru the hole (after running the rough "file" thru the hole). Strips of bicycle tube works ok, too

[@robertbowling8393]

The mushroom plugs are nice, but to do them correctly, the tire should be broken down off of at least one bead to gain access to the damaged area .... then buffed to get to good rubber for cement or vulcanizing ... Tho this is a workable solution to a puncture, I've personally always used either rope style or rubber plugs. I've used that style for DYI plugging, and never experienced a failed repair. I've used them on cars, trucks and lawn-garden tractors ... never any problems. I'm oldef now, and its harded to perform some jobs...... i recently had a flat on my car and pumped up and drove to get plugged. I think tge bill came to $32.57 to get it plugged! So much for new mushroom plugs! Back to old school for me!

[@thangknowa3288]

Nope. For many years I have used the rope plugs, NEVER EVER had one fail. A wise old man shared with me His technique at least 30 years ago, it works great. The rasping round file does wear out and must be replaced from time to time, due to tough steel belts in most tires. Victor T Handle Set 👍

[@MAGNUMGAMING2400]

Then you have guys like me who have never had one work, probably just my inability to use them, ima get one of these and try it out

[@thangknowa3288]

@@MAGNUMGAMING2400 The bigger the file, the harder to push in, thus the T-Handle can be a plus. Smaller files usually mean more filing to get the rope in. With a little practice, you will get it.

[@notcherbane3218]

I'm not sure the screw type works that well I've never used it and I don't know how it holds under pressure and over time The mushroom looks like it would do pretty good and I like the idea of using the gun but it does have extra steps

[@AlphardV55WR35]

THX for video, just ordered one !

[@kafklatsch3198]

Unfortunately several comparison test show them as the least reliable.. and most leak prone after a good install. Apprently the old fashion rope with goo is still a top solution. That famous farmer test guy showed this type as the only one to leak after some road testing of various plugs (several plug types installed in the same tire all at once) .

[@Waynes-xt9gr]

I was a gas attendant way back in the 70s......the problem with some punctures is that the nail or screw or even shard of metal, would be imbedded diagonally instead of straight up, possibly causing to make even a tar string kinda hard to patch....if I was not careful, that kinda probing would make the repair worse.

[@natvega1]

They should make the plug out of the same material as the rope plugs, the rope plugs blend into the tire and last thousands of miles, this type is a solid rubber that can fall out.

[@s.porter8646]

I always get flats when its raining, snowint or -20

[@FlyingElvis1000]

This was a toy I had as a child in the 70's, It was a type of erector set that used a similar(but largely plastic) tool and rubber rivets to hold the structures together. edit: well, thinking about it the toy had a tip you put the rivet on and when you pulled the trigger back it grabbed and stretched the rivet so that it was longer and thinner and you would be able to push it through and let go and it would hold. (just found it from 1977 " Riveton , the toy that makes toys" from Parker Bros.)

[@davef.2329]

Back in the '80's we were sold on this by the mobile tool man and never could get it to work consistently as advertised, lots of come-backs.

[@OlBlueshound]

Looks good in theory but would be better if the oil lubricant was actually a sealant or glue. And this method and the good old licorice stick repairs are good to keep you going, but because the steel belt encased in the tire is not damaged it's very likely you could get a blow out at high speed driving. This repair is ok up to maybe 40 mph or 65 kph but no more. Like I said it's OK for slower speeds but the tyres integrity is compromised by the broken steel belts inside. OK on a grocery getter but not for highway use.

[@youaregoingtolovethis]

Yes but also requires the most work as you have to take the tires off and put them back on the rims. The rope repair is the best in terms of efficiency and convenience and hassle free. Done a bunch never had a problem ever. Also making who have done it at many shop also had no problems. This is well known.

[@inkey2]

I always wondered why not back the nail out half way and slop some 5 minute Epoxy resin around the shaft of the nail and just push the nail back in the tire. Let it dry. 5 minute Epoxy is as hard as a rock in 20 minutes. Do you think that would work and hold as a permanent repair ?????

[@knobsdialsandbuttons]

It's hard to say, I think it really needs a flexible plug inside the tire to hold the air in. Interesting idea though :)

[@inkey2]

@@knobsdialsandbuttons I think it might work if the nail was "not" causing it to lose air (yet) to begin with.

Hi, Sorry if you already covered this in another video. I have a Tire that is damaged on the shoulder. Not the Side wall. Butt it is On the edge of the tread Where there are no steel belts. The tire shop discount tire is not Alowed to repair it per policy. For their own liability purposes. Do you know of a repair product or procedure that I can use on my own to fix it since the tire is good otherwise? Also, is there anything that can be done about cracking? Cracking from sun exposure

[@knobsdialsandbuttons]

The general opinion is that if there's damage to the shoulder or side wall, the tire should be replaced. I think the same goes for cracked tires.

In the old days (1960s) these guns were made from a casting. Now this flimsy sheet metal. They were pneumatic (air driven). We use to dip the whole mushroom in the glue. The mushrooms were black and longer too. As well, we rasped the hole again with glue after it was to size. Of course, you had to clean the nozzle & rasp in MEK after use. I worked in a tire shop at the time. Never had one come back.

Note for the UK: tyre plugs are legal in the UK. However, it is important to note that tyre plugs should only be used as a temporary fix, and tyres should be replaced as soon as possible.

Temporary plugs like this are legal in UK, but permanent vulcanised repairs are often a cheaper alternative to replacing the tyre. In many cases there is no need to replace the tyre.
