Yesssssss, always a good day when the Car Angel releases a new video 😊

Greg, it’s been a while. Glad you are posting again. As always another great, informative and helpful video. Cheers!

Thanks to the advice from Greg from his Highlander video, I ended buying a 2003 Highlander in 2019 that is such a great vehicle!

Awesome demonstration of the process. Big 👍 from Ontario, Canada.

I liked your tool kit - much better tools than the one I own. I had to do a plug last week and couldn’t get the plug in until I slightly warmed up the plug to make it softer and in she went. Cheers

I was ironically just reminded I need to get one of those kits - just had a leak repaired at my garage yesterday. >_< Excellent demonstration of how that process works.

You are one of my absolute favorites Greg, thanks for the great videos. So informative.

Plugs were the accepted type of repair for decades. I typically drill the hole larger and ream out, makes it easier to insert the plug; and I use rubber cement as the lubricant/sealer. Most tire shops will say stuff like too close to the edge, tire is 1 month over 6 years old, and I even had a tire shop tell me I had two holes so close together that they couldn't patch (funny: soap bubble test and a single lug fixed that for me, several years ago), and all tried to sell me new tires.

Been awhile. Great advice as always

Thanks Greg....never realized there were kits like this available. Great video!!

Great to see you back Greg, your videos are excellent! Cheers

Great to hear from you again Greg thanks for the video! Many years ago far from civilization there was that light “ssssssss” sound from a tire. No repair kit in the car as you recommend but I did have my tools, wood screws and some of the kids gum from the back seat. Yup, drove a screw wrapped in gum into the hole I found and it never leaked again. Kind of ashamed to admit I never repaired it properly.

Love the calm and honest competence

beautiful illustrations , very grateful

Good to see you back. I miss your content. I was wondering what it has been like for you and your business with used car prices being such a challenge. What advice do you have for used car buyers now in this current market of high demand and low supplies.

Greg, love your videos. Already knew about this trick and I thought when you said "cheap fix" you were gonna pull out the autozone-special tire repair kit. I've used cheap ones from the store before, and eventually i had it with the tools breaking on me, so I ended up getting the same kit you have here, and you're right, it's a great one with the much needed stronger tools in them. The amount of force you need to exert on the tire to bore out the puncture hole and then to insert the plug is pretty intense and will definitely break the really cheap tools.

Thanks for sharing. Very informative. Blessings

Great video, thank you!

Very helpful. Thanks 🙏

How about the back tire where you don't have room/clearance. However, very helpful. Thanks.

Welcome back Mr. kotter (horshack voice)

this guy is a king

Great video. Please keep posting. I am driving a 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser largely based on your recommendation. It's a fantastic vehicle well built and fun to drive. Any other videos on Land Cruisers to come?

Great video!!! Thanks

Thanks Greg!

I sort of stumbled on your channel by accident and I love it. Extremely informative. Could you do a video on what to look for when buying a LX470 and which year is the one preferred? Much love from Borneo.

Indeed those tire plug repair kits definitely work. A must have in the trunk.

Nice!

Brilliant. 10/10

Helping my Daughter use the same kit . We were unable to get the ream tool into the tire. So we use a drill and same size drill bit as the ream . It worked . I would still get a inside patch on the tire ASAP .

Hi Greg. New subscriber here.Wish you made more videos. I really appreciate them man. I noticed all the 4:20🌲 on the clocks🙂🌲

Thanks man😁

Wish you well and hope to see you back on the Tube, soon.

Wow 😮... this is a whole new level of the regular spray can... although, I'm not sure if I would have the strength needed to do the process.. and I'd probably get anxious☺ ... How would you suggest practicing it? Thank you. Take care 🙂

Thanks bro, i have it will work for me as wl

He said “reaming tool” 🤣🤣🤣 Great video thank u 🙏

Some of the Slime type products are also good for fixing punctures. And you can even put it in your tire before you get a nail so it "fixes" them on the fly and won't cause you to get stranded with a flat.

Thanks for a good video and suggestions. I just want to point out to never assume there's only one leak....and always chech the STEM for leakage....they don't last forever.

Stay safe paz y salud

Do a video explaining the difference between hybrids and plug in hybrids. That would be awesome!!!!

6:32 Hi. Appreciate your tire 6:32 repair video. Question? After you cut off the plug tails, do apply fire to it for a few seconds? I have seen it done but do not understand why. The same is done when applying a patch on the inside.

Been doing it like this for 40 years.

Great video, but where can i get this tool kit at? Thanks,

What about the recommendations to put a patch inside? Seems safer??

What's the name of the tool kit you were showing?Sorry I didn't get the name. Thanks for the video.

Thanks to that Brod. How it last?

Maybe I'm not as strong as you are or the diameters of my punctures have been smaller, but I've always found pushing in the plug too hard. Solution: Use an electric drill and bit just large enough to make passing the plug possible with effort.

Have you also tried the screw repair tire kit? Do you recommend that too?

how long will this plug last? will the repair plug come undone during high speeds?

When I was a motorcycle messenger, I once had an Avon rear tyre with a few of these repairs in it. You can buy co2 cannisters and a valve to reinflate the tyre as well and go well with a kit like this.

Little confused. You used a vaseline type of lubricant in your kit. Other videos I've seen put some "rubber cement" type of product on the plug to trigger vulcanization. Is yours not really vulcanizing, but just plugging with sheer mass? Or is there some product already on it? It seems like the lube would keep them from bonding anyways? Thanks!!

Are you using Red Vines... Or twizzlers?

Besides a puncture and gash, it can have a leaky valve stem or stem extender.

Buy the kit like the one he showed and not the cheap ones, because the cheap ones are made of plastic, and when it breaks it will stab your hand, also the cheap ones have smaller handles, which makes it harder to push on it and easier to fail

💛👌

In RSA tire repair business send drugaddicts at night to puncture tyres using screws driven in with electric drivers in the hope of you buying new from them especially if screw puncture is in the wall.

Isnt that a Volt?

👍🏼🖖🏼🏍🖖🏼

Double jointed thumb... made me wince

these plugs are a temporary repair at best have it repaired properly from the inside with a patch plug

Best way to repair a tire is to use plugs and rubber cement, man I'd alway go with my brother to sears auto to get patches, never did those things ever work, plugs are the way to go, never lose psi

Tire needs air

A PATCH-PLUG is the only way to properly fix a flat (leak).

I hate waiting for a video, then bloody adverts appear before

You using to big tool. We have thinner ones.

Thanks Greg. This was a good video on how to do it, but it makes no sense when you can take it to a shop and have them put a real patch on from the inside usually for only 20-30 dollars. These plugs are not reliable and should only be used in emergency situations. The real patches from the shop are much more reliable.

Lol you using the plug insertion tool wrong. 👀👀🙄

u need a very strong man to do it . not for ladies or old folks

That repair is a temporary fix. It will not last the life of the tire. Go to the nearest repair shop after plugging the tire.

There is no worse or dumber way to fix a tire than plugging it. The repair process does much more damage than the original puncture and the tire maker will void your warranty. Guys like this need to be banned from KZfaq.
