[@James-bv4nu]

The best video of the bunch. Love it! I watched them all, and watching this one did it for me. 1) remove the screw or nail 2) use the reamer to (a) clean the hole and (b) make sure the hole is big enough for step 3. cleaning means if there were oil or grease, etc. you want to scrape that off, you want the hole to be pure tire rubber only, to ensure a good seal, if the hole is too small for step 3, you don't want to find out too late, so you want to mimic step 3, slowly push the reamer into the hole, and quickly pull out, if you can do this, then step 3 should go OK 3) thread the plug into the pusher tool, coat the plug with rubber cement, slowly push the plug into the hole about 2/3 in, then QUICKLY pull the tool out, the pusher tool has an opening at the tip, allowing the plug to disengage with the tool, I have read in other links that the rubber cement is not necessary for sealing, it is used only as a lubricant for the plug to slide in, some plug kits don't even include the rubber cement, 4) cut off excess plug, and re-inflate, nowhere do they tell you if you have to wait between steps 3 and 4, not necessary to trim off neatly, the road will trim off, 5) if still leaks, repeat steps 2-4

[@djmightymurph]

[@marknussbaum8394]

Yeah, it's pretty much that easy. As another reviewer has stated, it's easier to make this repair when the tire has pressure in it. You can make this repair without even taking the tire off if you don't mind laying on your side, partially under the car/truck while you make the repair. A couple of tips-- If the hole is small and you can't find it, mix 5% dishwashing liquid (Dawn, etc.) in water and slowly pour it over the tire with the tire inflated. The leak will cause a mound of bubbles which will be easy to see. The purpose of the reamer is to clean and slightly enlarge the hole. Don't ream any more than you need to in order to insert the plug. If on your first try you push too hard and the plug goes all the way into the tire, join the club. Everybody has done that. No worries, just put another plug on and try again. If you can't get the plug threaded thru the plug tool eye, take a flat screwdriver, insert it into the opening and very slightly pry it open. Then slide the plug in, pull the plug thru with pliers and remove the screwdriver. Use plenty of glue when coating the plug. Sometimes when removing the plug tool you'll pull the plug out. If that happens, try again and this time before pulling out use the pliers to bracket the plug tool and push down on the plug ends and tire face while removing the plug tool. This method usually works for good, but not always. An inside patch is better but it isn't perfect either. And, this method can address the growing problem of tire repair stores refusing to patch a hole that's even slightly close to the sidewall. A hole in the sidewall is not patchable and I agree the tire is toast. But more and more tire stores are telling a customer that a hole is "too close" to the sidewall and they need a new tire, when in fact they just want to sell you a new tire, or better yet, a whole new set.

Great video. Been doing this for years exactly accept no cement. I leave the tire on the vehicle positioning just right for me to work on. Fill the tire with air and locate object causing leak. Remove object and perform these exact steps. Grab my air compressor fill tire to proper psi. Not one has ever failed me. This method makes quick work.

[@minot.8931]

The cement is probably a good idea - it's not glue in the normal sense; it contains a vulcanising agent that melts the rubber it touches and then evaporates out, so it acts like a weld. Without it, in theory the plug could be blown out... but the comments don't agree, so it's probably not critical on a regular family car.

[@ItsNotAllRainbows_and_Unicorns]

It's not the centrifugal force that pulls that plug out, it's due to the tire skidding on the road due to braking. If it's due to the spinning of the tire then the plug was barely in to begin with.

I thought there was a more complex way and for safety it needs a professional repair unlike a bike tire which I learned to change for a long time. I’ve seen the shop do it and it’s exactly this way so I finally did this myself. I had a rental that needed tire repair so I used it as my first test.

I have used these for years, they work great. Never put one in a sidewall though, maybe only to get to a Station. Make sure you ream the hole well or you will not be able to get the new one in. Use the glue but if you don't have any that's okay. Note: always get the upgraded T handle so you can push harder, the screwdriver looking ones are useless for pushing in

[@virginia7125]

Yeah, the screwdriver ones only work on riding mower & moped tires (tyres).

[@had2galsinthebooth]

Well done video! To use this type of kit the tire can stay on the vehicle because the tools are small which is a HUGE plus to me. I carry a plug kit and 12V compressor for when there is no power for my big compressor on the road. This is the only type of plug kit I have ever used on pickup tires here in the states. It has never failed me and,working construction site with dropped nails/screws,I have driven unknowable miles on plugged tires over the decades. The only exception was when I got a 1/4" concrete form tie in the right rear tire one winter. On the 2nd attempt I had to use two plugs in that hole to totally stop the leak. I didn't feel so confident in it's long term use so I replaced the tire sometime soon after that night. That night was -20F. I fixed it at a friends country house out in the cold wind after dropping off another friend who worked for me,then drove 32 miles home hoping I wouldn't have to stop some random place and do it again. Talk about relief to see the lights of home! That double plug did not fail,I just didn't trust it for the long term. I do like the looks of some of the other type UK kits I see,I like them alot, but they look to be best used with the rim and tire off which would slow me down too much as a road repair. I would sure consider them for home use though!

Whenever a plug is installed, ALWAYS snip off the protruding portion to prevent the plug from possibly being pulled out of the hole when the tire slips or spins on pavement. (I've had this happen before.)

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Good advice

[@minerblue9641]

I was using a very old set of tire plugs and when I went to squirt some glue on it I found the glue had dried as hard as a rock. I pulled out some PVC glue that had been with my plumbing supplies for a long while. I remember torquing the cap on with a pair of channellock pliers. Took the cap off with the same pliers. The PVC cement was in good shape. Applying some of this glue to the plug lubricated it well and the plug went in easier. I wondered if the PVC glue would have a deterrmental effect on the tire. 2 years later the tire is still on the ground and no air leak from that plug.

[@aleccg2699]

2 years? I wish i drove that little lol. Looks like ill use that pvc glue i bought. Thanks hehe

[@keithdouglas4581]

I've never had to use glue with this type of repair,works perfectly,the rubber is sticky enough on it's own anyway.

[@aureliancurceanu1333]

Exactly,we have a tire change and repair station and we never use glue,but just after you put the plug in the tire before you pull out the inserter,spin it 1/2 so it makes a knot,adf if its a new tire ,buy a permanent repair knot ,you do the same and at the end you put it on fire so it just kind of mix on the tire

Wow it's amazing how you got the camera inside the tubeless tire . First I have seen how sticky rubber cement gets molded in between the holes so perfectly bonded in a sticky fibers.

I loved the hole in tire video!

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

lol Thanks 😁

[@squidusn71]

Great video!!! Straight to the point without BS and showing the inside process is the icing on the cake!

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thank you very much ! :)

[@garysiuco7834]

Although I've used this method with much success over the years, that sound when you use the rasp to open the hole is the sound of the steel belted cords being chewed up - Yikes!

[@kris8742]

Yes don't over do the rasping but they work well.

[@ephraimgarrett4727]

You know, if you drive a little faster, the spiders have trouble leaving cobwebs in your tread. 😂

LOL ok, I'll try out second gear next time :)

That's an old abandoned tyre, I s'pose.

Staight to the point , it is excellent 👌👌👌

Thank you !

[@Warmsunset26]

As I have seen the process via other visual footage. What is better with this one, is at the end is SEEN what it looks like inside. Nice.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks very much :)

[@runristaren2]

Had this for years without any issues, tyres up to 45psi is no problem. Never use those cans of tyre repair that is sold with some cars and in stores.. those just destroy everything and when the tyre is changed you have a mechanic that whants to whip you with a cane...

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

lol :)

[@runristaren2]

It cloggs everything and can also make the tyre stick to the rim so the tyre must be cut away..

[@virginia7125]

Looks like the exact same kit I have even though this is British. Some say twist it & pull. I did a tire (tyre) & it only lost 3 LBs of air over 8 months. Some shops add a patch inside. I was told if it's too close to the edge, it won't hold. About an inch in or better.

[@sabarblatoe]

I wish more people thought like & put in as much effort as this guy. That inside view will help a ton of people that have difficulty with this.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thank you !

[@bernie0905]

So informative review precise and concise. I appreciate this kind of review straight and direct instructions. I dont like reviews with so much introduction, talking and walking around the bush. I observed most american vloggers talk to much on reviews.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thank you very much ! :)

[@AdamZed-w9i]

Really straightforward, useful, no-frills tutorial. Very useful. No one mentioned how much strength it takes to make those punch-through holes though. God! I really under-estimated that. 😂

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks for watching !

[@aky19832001]

Just a tidbit, the PROPER protocol to repairing a nail is to use the plug and patch according to the manufacturers spec. I had a nail and the dealer once told me oh, Toyota says to use the plug, that's the standard. I said, oh really, is that what Toyota say's cause Toyota says to refer to the manufacturer specs for tire repair and the tire repair. On my Bidgestones, it says, to plug first, trim it out, then Patch. Most won't do that due to laziness.

[@IanRamon]

The view from the inside was a great important show --I wondered how the tool released the plug, and your video shows it.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks for watching :)

[@pinakdesai3347]

Yeah..same question I had

[@tinkerwest]

My only criticism is the way the hole is reamed. The tool should be turned in one direction only going in as well as out because the twisting back and forth defeats the purpose of what the reaming is supposed to accomplish which is to cleanly open the steel belt fibers for easier plug insertion. The twisting back and forth will just mangle the fibers.

[@Andrewkafp]

I agree. Minimum disturbance is best

[@Travelakad]

Just the video I was looking for.

[@TeamGun]

Great video. I’ve plugged a lot of tires. People saying the plug doesn’t last have zero idea about with they’re talking about. I’ve never seen a tire outlive a plug.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks for watching ! 👍
