    Don't listen to these people telling you not to use this for long term repair. I've done this same thing about 12 times since 1988 and not a single one failed. I drove them all until the tread was worn out and the tire was at the end of its life cycle.... not a single one ever popped out or caused problems. The worst case, the thing would fall out and you would just lose air slowly and end up with a flat and you can put the spare on, then get a new tire. No big whoop.

    I have 3 cars and in the last 5 years I've fixed a flats on all 3 with the same kit bought from Wallmart for a few $$. I also fixed flats for family, friends, etc., numerous times. It's cheap, works well and I've NEVER had a problem with a tire I fixed. Yes, the rubber strip is hard to push in but if you can't manage to push it in then you really need to start doing a few push ups. It's also easier with the wheel off the car. I'm 69 years old and I still fix my own flats and will continue to do so until I drop dead.

    One key step worth mentions here: The insertion tool got the split head and requires to pry open a bit. This gap is allowing the insertion tool to be pulled off the tire without pulling out the repair plug. I learned that the hard way and would like to point it out here.

    I have been plugging tires for 40 plus years, the added glue works as a lubricant that lets the plug slide right in the hole and gives added support to the plug to adhere to the tire. trust me (voice of experience) . you should never have to push with that much force. also cut off the plug with side cutters when done to make a smooth finish. good luck with your future jobs and vid's. thank you, Lou

    I bought one of these after seeing this video a while ago, and thought I would share my experiences with you all. In the time I have owned it, i have successfully repaired my own tyre, but did have to re-inflate it. I had a small electric pump too. Later this year I saw someone stranded roadside with two kids on the motorway with a flat tyre. typical that she didn't have a spare and no mobile phone. So i play good Samaritan and had the tyre repaired and inflated in less than 10 minutes. Well worth the £2+ free p&p from eBay that included 10 extra strips!

    I've plugged tires for 50 years and with my vehicles and trailers that's 120 I have to deal with. Never ever had a problem, no blow outs, nothing at all. So let me take a wild guess who lobbied for the law against plugging a tire? As for warranties, we all know companies take any way out they can and always try to shift the blame on us. Has anyone had a blow out from plugging a tire? Ive heard a hundred times "it could happe" but never known any it happened to.

    I have done this for many years. And it is Permanently fixed, no need to go to a shop afterwards, it will last for the life of the tire, unless the object in the tire is big or it goes into the tire at a low angle. Also this will not work on side walls. Great job on video, everyone needs to learn this one :-)

You can't argue with that!

    Get a small spray bottle of mixed detergent and water for checking if the leak is sealed. Use rubber cement with the filler goo. Get some bull-nose pliers not long nose. Grind the hole larger than you did, so you can clean it of anything that won't grip the cement and goo. If you lose lots of air, you'll need an air pump to pump it up again to full pressure. You can use the air pressure from your spare if you have a connecting hose.

    For all the doubters out there: This is perfectly fine to do as long as the hole isn't too big, I have been plugging tires for 30+ years with about a 99% perfect seal.. The trick is to make sure you are using the "Gummy Plug" that Samoa is using here, if you don't see that gummy stickiness on the plugs don't buy them..and a little dish soap on the plug makes it a lot easier to push in ...also fill the tire up with air first so it's solid to push against ( if air is available) Cheers

    Tire plugs work great been using them for 30 years. Fill the tire up to 40 psi. Coat reaming tool with contact cement and pull in and out. Tire plug tool coat plug with contact cement. Pull reaming tool out and install tire plug with tire plug tool. Cut off excess plug and adjust tire pressure check done. If whatever went through tire wrecks the cords it does not matter plug or patch tire still junk. If tire belts shift you need a new tire. Vehicle will shake or waddle like a duck at slow speeds if the belt shifts.

    The kit should come with rubber cement, which is a glue that also helps to lubricate the tread and make inserting it easier. It was visible how much of insane pressure the author had to apply to force the tread in. Chances are, many people wont be able to put it through when it's so dry. I've also broken the tool before, so, yes, have it lubricated to go in easier and to seal better. Otherwise, thanks for the video.

    wow, so many haters with comments.. That was a cool vid, and imo, everyone with a car should know this little operation. But some people just want to criticize, and say "it might cause a blowout". Actually. It COULD cause a blowout.. but it Will also fix a flat tire...

    Just finished my first puncture repair on the rear.i tryed leaving the wheel on I'm pretty strong but it was too hard to push the patch through.i removed the wheel the second time and it was far easyer as you can get your body weight over the job.worked a treat.

    Will this product work for even smaller nails stuck in the tire? I see that the guy on the video is dealing with a somewhat larger size one and the tools he’s using seem to be kind of like the same size as the nail inserted in the tire*

    I used to repair tires with this method 50 years ago when I worked for an automotive shop, but most shops have discontinued this method and will only apply a patch to the interior of the tire.

    That is true, i have a screw in my car tire, went to two shops and they have refused to repair it, saying it is un-repairable and that they should replace the whole tire which is barely few months old. I bought the repair kit and will repair it tomorrow morning. Thanks to fixitsamo :)

    The tire shops say it's non repairable because they want to make money and sell you a new tire. I had a business hauling heavy trailers cross country, my tire had a flat and I had a patch put on the inside. Plug or patch they work just fine, even with heavy loads.

    You are not serious, are you ?If the people in the garage told you it cannot be repaired, it means it is dangerous to repair that tire. Not all tires can be repaired, it depends on where the puncture is and how big the puncture is. Don't risk your life and the life of other motorists because you know its not just you on the road, there are other people driving too. Don't be foolish tight ignorant bastard, listen to what the tire fitters are telling you and go and buy yourself at least two new tires because you cannot change one only, both tires on the same axle have to be the same!

    Red Salamander I just don’t like gambling with my life and others life too. If I find a screw in my tyre, I just replace the tyre, simple as that. I dont make any compromises with tyres. If one can afford to buy car, pay for insurance and fuel, should be able to buy some decent tyres and not play risky DIY like a 16 year old boy... I just consider people repairing tyres fools. I can’t see any logic in repairing tyres!

    Matthew K Don’t worry dude, you find a screw in your tire- leave it there- or pick up a screwdriver and a DIY tire kit and fix it- don’t worry about seeking professional help or replacing the tire- should be OK, you can even drive on the motor way - preferably above 80 mph- should be alright- just make sure there aren’t any cars around- trucks are fine though- no worry’s. Natural selection.

    nicely done on the repair. Here in the US we have same tools as you showed but we also get a tube glue in the kits or we purchase separately. Fixing the tire goes much better with the glue and it makes easier win you install the plug. Very good tutorial and I love watching your channel.

    You don’t need to apply glue for the red plugs they already have some glue and individually sealed If you read the instructions on the kit i used it doesn’t require any glue that’s why they don’t include any glue in the package Yes you might think it’s easier to insert the plug using glue it can also do the opposite effect because of the air pressure the plug might pup out slightly causing air leak That’s a common mistake guys do when they plug their tires specially if they put lots of glue cause it will act as a lubricant for the next 5 to 10 minutes till it drys if you use glue i suggest you wait at least 10 to 15 minutes before you hit the road just to give some time for the glue to dry completely Black plugs kit do require glue but not the red Thank you for your support and drive safe
