You know at one point I would have said the same thing.. however in the last 2 months I have had to plug tires and I don't know what the deal was with both of plugs I had to do, but I did as we all normally would do, I took the reamer to hole after pulling the nail, slipped the plug into the plug tool and went to press it inside the tire and the thing would not go, removed the plug stuck reamer back in an bored the hole about half dozen times and still the plug wouldn't slip in, after having the handle then break from me trying to push it in and almost taking the tool through my hand I had to get a pair of vicegrips and hammer to finish the job.. that was the first one.. the second was same song different verse.. except this time we had 3 guys at the shop I work at try to get the plug in.. all failed.. this tool would have made those jobs a simple fix.. so what if there is a couple more steps involved.. just like every other tool, there is a time and a place it is needed.. and I definitely had the time twice this tool was well needed.

I am a retired auto mechanic. I have used many , many different plug and patch methods, including this type. These really are a superior plug type repair. I prefer a different "gun style" insertion tool. Which alone can cost as much as $100 bucks. But for a shop/business it's worth it and is much faster. I will also admit that the more common and cheaper rope or cord type usually do an adequate job as well. That robot voice is creepy.

I maintained a fleet of 70 ish golf carts for years. Tees in tires were a big issue. The old plugs worked ok, but after some age on them the would leak. After I got this plug kit the tire life became very easy. My kit had a gun style plugged instead of the Allen wrench...couple squeezes and it's in...gotta be faster than an Allen wrench. Couple notes I would add...after the plug is in, give it a pull with some plyers to make sure it's seated. Use some lube on the plug.(tire lube, vegetable oil) I never used it when I was hitting a steel belt, not sure it would work any better than the old plugs on those... And yes, don't cut it too close or it will suck into the tire...leave about 1/8 sticking out.

PS I ADD RUBBER GLUE FOR THAT ADDED PIECE OF MIND. Good video 👍👏

Bought this as it made more sense to me than jamming some gooey repair stick into the hole. Also my local shop wouldn't repair the nail puncture as it was too close to the sidewall. Repaired it (and another similar puncture) and had no problems. The tyres have driven over 8000 miles, nearly 1 year and even been on track. Good product!

The tool described here is just wayyyyyy too many steps. I'll stay with common plugs.

Got the same kit for my new Goldwing. I hope it will do the job, when needed. What is missing in the kit is white marker or any type of good quality tape to mark the hole location before removing nail or bolt. When you do this at night, you will have a hard time locating the hole. I added a construction white marker with its packaging to the kit.

I have the gun-type unit and I love them! I've had too many rope plug failures but only one with the mushroom plug (long slice). I do something different however. I put a small amount of rubber cement in the gun before inserting the plug and a drop of silicon lubricant on top of the plug after it is inserted into the gun. The silicon allows for less drag in the compression phase and the adhesive insures no small leaks around the mushroom head. HINT: unscrew the nozzle 1/4 to 1/2 turn before removal so to break the vacuum behind the seal; the friction will seat the plug.

In my tire shops we drilled it out before putting in a plug otherwise you fight it too much. This thing looked a little better than a plug. Might be good for a super expensive tire. I don't think it did any vulcanizing. Why didn't they dismount the tire afterwards and show the inside view of the repair?

Just use a drill lol. I have 255/50 R20's and the steel bands are extremely tough. I've bent plug insertion tools trying to push them in. I now use a 1/8 drill bit to open the hole up and have never had a problem since. The plug goes in a bit easier and haven't bent a tool again. Also I've had the plug tool go all the way in and lost a plug when trying to do it without drilling because of how much force I've had to use. I used to work at a landfill and have had tires with 8 or more plugs in them and still get the mileage that the tires are rated for. When I would get them changed some of the tire mechanics would laugh at how many plugs were in the tires.

I have to agree with all the below comments. Although, after using the regular plug kit, I found that if you don't clean it it gets harder to insert and retract with all the sticky gunk left on it. After every use, I put it in a ziplock bag and effectively forget about it until the next use. With the mushroom plug, it's lubricated so no problem there. BUT all those steps!!

I've always used the strips. Clean with the T handled reamer. Insert and twist with a glue lubricated rubber ribbon. Quickly pull out so ribbon stays in. Let sit around 15 minutes. Fill tire with air and use soapy water around repair to see if it leaks. Cut off about ⅛" from tire. Then I use a scuffing tool in an air grinder to smooth it out. This melts it a little and you work until the plug is flat. I've been driving 2 years with a repaired tire & it hasn't leaked air yet. Most shops refuse to do this work. A few will patch the tire on the inside.

good i guess sealing the steel material, but what bonds the plug to inside the tyre, having worked in a few tyre shops, a better more secure job would be to remove the tyre from the rim, and perform a job sealing the tyre from internally, as well as sealing the tyre from water getting to the steel beading and checking for any damage to the tyre.

I'm just kidding I have no wife and never had a wife apparently I have a dark sense of humor but I did plug a sidewall to get it to the tire change place to get a new tire put on and it held perfectly no leaks so plugs work great for me and I'm not going to change to try something new and improved which usually bites me in the ass

If you watch from 2:47 in this video you can see that there's about half of an inch of the tool sticking though the tire so it should be long enough to get the plug into the tire, even if the puncture is in the deep groove: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLeHht1-mpO6p58.html

How does this work without any glue to prevent leaking? I know air pressure will push on the head but still, no sealant?

I would have tried to take the screw out...coat it with some RTV silicone ...and screw it back into the hole. Let it set up for half an hour ...then go to the nearest garage for a proper repair.

Nice edit. I'm curious though why you say DO NOT pull the plug when stop n go say to pull the plug after inflating (viewed after yours). I just used the kit and did not pull the plug and cut it. Why not pull the plug? Thanks.

@knobsdialsandbuttons Жыл бұрын

I said do not pull the plug as you're cutting it.

@@knobsdialsandbuttons I gathered. But you did not include that you should pull the plug to set it. I used some pliers and grabbed a hold of the nub. Just sayin.

Can you remove a sticky type plug from your tyre and insert a mushroom type?????

@davidfalconer8913 Жыл бұрын

I use ( gooey stick ) with a dash of fresh rubber solution , and use the tough " crochet hook " tool ...this seems to work OK ( for the rest of the life of the tyre ! ) ... but this product looks good , although the applicator tool looks more expensive ? ? ............... DAVE™ .............

A question for those that have used the mushroom plug: when turning the hex key to insert the plug, will the insertion tool automatically stop the hex key from turning when inserting the plug (to prevent the user from pushing the plug to far into the tire)?

Yes it stops automatically

There is so much atmospheric air outside the tire, and so little inside. Why then, does the air inside the tire try to get out whenever it can? Why is the flat side of the tire ALWAYS face the asphalt?

Interesting questions..... :)

@lookingthroughice7843 2 жыл бұрын

The flat side of the tire is where the hole is and because of the magnetic field inside the earths core pulls the steel rim down, thats why the flat side of the tire is always at the bottom. What i can't explain is why this also happens with aluminium rims. 🤔

Rasping tears more steel belts. Patching from the inside is the best way.

@matthewq4b 2 жыл бұрын

patching only makes the tire air tight it does not stop water ingress in to the belts. Water penetration into the belts will cause them to rust and expand that can lead to belt and carcass separation.

This is good for emergencies though.

@buffystclair9042 2 жыл бұрын

I’ve always used that theory by judging the tires life span left. When a tire is newer, always did the patch . As the tire reached half worn or more , jammed a plug in it !
