    @19:10 You have for sure a very positive attitude with everything, I admire that. With a punctured tire I would have gotten angry and would have probably been cursing. You are really a good guy. God bless.

    Great video! I went to the scrap yard today myself and had my best day yet scrapping. I sold a bunch of pipes that I found in dumpsters and a lot of other big pieces of steel. I crammed everything into my little SUV. Made myself a pretty 154$ :) Thanks for the learning materials, definitely helps me stay afloat during this pandemic, peace and love from the USA!

    Carry a few screws with you just in case you get another puncture. They'll stay in long enough and keep the air from leaking out while you are getting where you need to go.

      Yeah I'd keep like 2 plug kits in the center console and small air compressor or a tank of compressed air. Most people dont know but plugs last a lifetime I had a honda accord wagon and I used to scrap in it and I had one tire with 3 plugs and one with 2 and they literally lasted until I sold the car a year later

    I always like to have a plug in my truck, especially after going to the scrap yard, so I can plug it on the spot. Of course the scrap yard is 30 miles from my home too! I'd have the plug ready when I pull it out and I try to keep as much air as possible in the tire!!
    Most plugs I've put in has lasted the lifetime of the tread of the tire!!
    Have a Great Day My Friend!!!

      1 lbs = $0.45
      So the 38 cents you get in your area, Ben got 45 cents.

First time I had the service station do it but this last time I decided to buy the kit. It wasn't bad to do, I did remove the tire because I just could not get the right leverage to push the tools in.
