Really like the quality of the two tire repair tools. They are cast aluminum and have set screws on both sides of the handle that holds on the spiral probe and needle. I also have Safety Seal and Blackjack, two of the best names in tire repair tools and, while not that level of quality, these is still a nice kit for the price. I needed this one for a 3rd vehicle and figured with all the good reviews was worth taking a chance on. Very happy with the overall quality. The only thing that i would consider suspect are the tire plugs themselves. They look and feel cheap. I would purchase a single package of 5 or 6 plugs from Safety Seal or Blackjack and you will be set. The case itself is great and after you throw away the 30 or 40 plugs they give you (who in the world repairs that many tires?), you’ll have plenty of room in the kit for a pair of pliers (to pull out the screw or nail) and razor blade (to cut off the end of the plug flush with the tire) and you will have a very capable kit. And one word on the jar of lubricant they give you. I have seen several incorrect directions on how to use it. First, make sure you can even open it at home where you have all your tools. The lid was on so tight, there’s no way I could open it on the side of the road. I had to use two pairs of slip jaw pliers to get it open. The lid was crazy tight. Just snug the lid back on and you’ll be set. Now, for the actual repair itself. Dip the end of the spiral probe into the jar of lubricant and get a small amount on the tip of the probe. Now, take your pliers and pull out the screw or nail. Take the probe and run into hole, being fairly aggressive and use a sawing motion. You actually want to enlarge the hole slightly (the probe is the correct size so that the tire plug will go in fairly easily but still seal the leak). Do NOT put lubricant on the tire plug itself. And you also don’t need cement as long as you’re using a quality tire plug (hence the advice to buy Safety Seal or Blackjack plugs). Just thread plug through eye of needle halfway and then insert into hole until the round disk bottoms out against tire. Then, holding the disk down against the tire, use your other hand to slowly pull the handle up. The disk will dislodge the plug from the end of the needle leaving it in the hole and hopefully sealing your leak. Cut the plug off flush with the surface of the tread and you’re done! And please, don’t believe the people that say this is a permanent repair. I’ve been to the Michelin tire school and they absolutely say a tire plug installed in this manner is just a temporary repair to get you home. You have to have the tire removed from the rim and have a patch/plug combo installed from inside the tire. That is the only repair that is considered permanent.

Received this today and it appears to be well-constructed and a good deal. People have complained of lack of instructions, but they are now included. So, I have included them for reference. Note that this does not come with any kind of cement. Instead there is a grease lubricant used to make insertion of the plugs easier. I noticed that the setscrews holding the tools to the handle were not quite as tight as they should be, so I tightened them using the enclosed Allen wrench. If I get even a single repair out of this kit, it will pay for itself. But I am expecting many uses. I will update this review as I use it. Update 7-8-2020 Today I used the kit for the first time to repair a leak caused by a small sheet metal screw on a pretty large tire on a Kia Van. This hex-headed screw neatly screwed itself into the tire resulting in a small leak. It still had the 1/4" hex head on it, so it was easy to just back out, leaving a very small hole. I've never done one of these - only watched the gas station attendant do a few for me. The biggest part of the job was removing the rear wheel from the van. If this had been a front wheel, I would have turned it facing out and tried doing the repair with the wheel on the car. But that would have been too awkward for the rear wheel. Because the hole was so small, using the enclosed reamer from the start was just too hard, even with lube. This reamer is pretty smooth with very non-aggressive cutting action, so I put a 3/16" bit in a portable drill and used that first to enlarge and smooth the hole. I then used the reamer to finish, which was very manageable. Once an open hole is made in the tire, it will deflate pretty rapidly, so you need to keep your finger on the hole and work quickly. You need to have the plug preinstalled in the insertion tool before starting. Being an amateur, I did make a user error, by inserting the initial plug too far it, so not enough was showing when I was done. So, I did a second plug pushing the first one into the tire, leaving about 1/2" showing. I off the excess flush with the tire with a razor. It was all very easy. I did position the retainer part of the insertion tool on top of the plug to prevent pulling the plug out, but that really was not necessary. The enclosed lube in the package is indicated as being for use with the plug, to make insertion easy. After I was done, I inflated the tire to full pressure and checked for leaks with a soap bubble solution. Will need to keep an eye on it for a few days just to be sure it is sealing. I think the tools are well made and pretty sturdy, maybe not professional shop sturdy, but plenty good enough for the backyard mechanic. The t-handles on both tools are fairly heavy cast pot metal. They would only break through abuse or some kind of incorrect use. The reamer is quite robust while the plug insertion tool is a bit on the light side. I see one picture of someone who bent an insertion tool, but I am relatively sure that was caused by either not using the lube when installing the plug or not reaming out the hole sufficiently. I feel like I paid for this kit with this one leak repoair and still rate it as a good deal.

My wife and I were embarking on a cross-country trip and decided to buy this as a form of "insurance" while on the road to pair up with our cigarette lighter compressor. Not long after our purchase we ended up with a screw in our tire. The perfect test for this kit, it was center tread and straight in. The plug kit worked great! Way better than those cheap Harbor Freight kits. The T handle tools are sturdy and do not bend. If you've never plugged a tire before, it requires a lot of force to do. The lubricant to get the plug in makes all the difference. It's a great complete kit! I feel so much better knowing it's in my trunk. To this day, over a year later, the plug is still holding up perfectly. We've put over 10,000 miles on the plugged tires without a single issue. I highly recommend this kit for every car!

Espero não ter que usar tão cedo, mais se precisar, está junto do carro.

I've used this kit twice now (both times on a Tesla Model 3). I was skeptical and worried at first but they've held for over 3 months now. I've driven on regular city roadways as well as highway and no issues. The plug kit is not a roadside type of repair but highly recommended for self repair.
