 So... why four bits? |

This is a nice compact kit that I hope I never need... but as the Boy Scouts say .... "Be Prepared"!
Like others here I was confused by the two apparently "extra" tools; I had expected only a cleaner & a plug inserter. I shot the company an e-mail and got this prompt reply:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. The Needle that is open at the very top of the eye - to be used per the directions on auto tires.
2. The Needle that is open along the side of the eye - to be used with ATV tires as per the directions (this type of needle would get caught on the steel belts of an automotive tire, and works much better with an ATV type tire.)
3. The Needle that is completely closed is to be used like the #1 needle able, BUT once the needle is strung, it would be inserted ALL the way into the tire and pulled out half way; then cut off. (Same basic function, just really a matter of preference)
We included all three of these so that the option that you are familiar with and/or most comfortable with are available.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So I am only going to keep the regular inserter and the rasp with the kit which I think will leave room in the handle for all the gear with no left-overs (I'm traveling right now so am not 100% sure on that but think it should work).

i used to race superbikes... once, i got a puncture, and got flat...
i was pretty worried 'cause i was far away from home... one of the guys walked towards me smiling.. and told me.. well dude.. get ready to stay here for a couple of hours... and i was like,,, "why the ... is he smiling"... and then told me that he was joking and told me that he got one of this kits... and repaired the tire in a few minutes.. then i went to a gas station... refilled the tire.. and the trip continued...
i had not used yet the one that i just bought but i have it on the mini-trunk of the bike... and i know that it works.....
highly recommended... |

| I finally got a chance to use this product on a recent trip. I tried another product first and it failed, but then I plugged my front motorcycle tire with this product and it held well for the 1500 miles until I could get it changed. Could use a little more instructions on it's various bits, however. The case is nice and compact and keeps everything together |
Easy to use and effective

I used this plugger kit on a puncture in my rear moped tire. At some point I had run over a screw which got lodged in the tire. I removed the screw and followed the directions on the plugger packaging. A couple of minutes later, the hole was sealed and I re-inflated the tire successfully.
It's cheap, easy to use, effective, and handy (almost all the tools store inside the handle, with the exception of the pluggers). I definitely recommend it. |
Excellent . Been using them for years

These tar strips are great. I have used them for many years. Just pull out the nail or whatever gave you the flat put a tar strip in the insertion tool put on a little rubber cement and push it in the hole . Twist it and pull out the tool . lasts for years . No leaking .
I am a pro truck driver and I use them on my truck . I run in a lot of places that are full of nails and screws and use these at least once a week or more .
Pros: works fantastic. Seals permanently .
cons: there are none . |
Nice design

The tool comes with 3 eye needles! I cannot figure out what the other two are designed for. They cannot be possibly meant for use with worms as one is closed like a regular needle and the other is hook shaped.
I dumped them along with the blade to make room in the handle for the gummy worms.
Having the tools in the handle is a nice design. Keeps the rasp tool from causing damage to everything around it. |
