I have been doing this for years. I worked construction and we would constantly get nails in our tires. A #8 x 1 flathead screw and polyurethane caulk. Coat the screw with the caulk and sink the screw to the bottom of the tread. Bing, bang, boom. I called it a carpenter's tire plug. Had 7 to 10 screws in my tires when I had them finally replaced due to normal wear and milage. I would still get 70 to 80,000 miles out of a set of tires. The tire guy would just scratch his head and laugh.
I've worked in the tyre industry for over 40 years and this type of repair was used on plant equipment that doesn't go on the road - generally referred to in the trade as a "string" repair. All minor tyre repairs need to have the tyre removed from the rim to check for internal damage and then be repaired to BSAU159g.
I once had my donut spare shred apart immediately, just before I got home. It was night, no repair shops open. I removed nail and replaced with thin smooth almost flat head screw. Got me to repair shop 2 days later. No shops open Sundays where I live. I've since replaced spare with full size steel rim tire from junkyard, and have plug kit, just in case. Remember to check air in spare. I once helped lady at work cuz she had flat tire. She had been waiting over an hour, tow truck never showed up. It was 3:30 am. When she called them back they said they could tow her car but she could not ride along, too many charges filed. I replaced tire, and spare was flat too. I remove it and drove a mile to nearest gas station to air up spare. She made it home ok.
Many towing companies will refuse to give you a ride and tell you to call a cab. They claim too much liability to allow passengers. No ride, NO TOW. Plain and simple. You do not leave a woman on the side of the road and tow her car. Especially when they do not inform her BEFORE dispatching the tow truck.
Would have accepted if screw was made of same rubber compound as that of tyre bit pn harder side special headnof screww . Using ribber compund adhesive shoudl libricate it enough to make it easy screwing withount deforming the rubber screw
Bought this on temu for a dollar months ago. Finally got to use it yesterday. 200 miles later it's still doesn't leak but i noticed a slight wobble started im not sure sure if it's from this thing
rubber-coated metal screw will work, but- must be fatter than the nail that was causing the flat...otherwise the threads of the repair screw will not " bite" the rubber tire to properly seal.
What about if the screw or nail that’s in your tire is on top of the tread? How is that supposed to wear properly with some screw plug in it?? Just go with rope plugs guys, they’re literally the best way to repair this
You screw the repair screw below the useable tread. So you will replace the tires before it ever touches the repair screwhead. It is safe or it would never have made it to market. They would be sue into oblivion if their products didn't' work and cause problems.
Some puncher repair man think the patch we place innner side of tire incase of puncher is musroom plugs😅 i dont know weather its a scam or they really don't know what it is in india .
THE REPAIR SCREW🤣🤣🤣 brother you might be onto something but it may be tough marketing. “Hey I got a nail in my tire I need it fixed.” Auto shop: “no problem mam, the repair screw is $70, when would you like to book?”
These things really work. I've used different types in the past, I have these a go because they are inexpensive - not expecting much. I'm amazed how easy and effective they are.
Someone reviewed this in my country, it can be temporary solution til you go to the actual repair station. That's all. Not even close to rubber plug kit
It's something Chinese have been using for years it's a rubber screw with glue,not metal so that's why it wont unscrew for one..does work..they sale those screws to fix tires..its easier and faster
some mechanic will be like, dude, you got a screw in your tire...
That’s exactly what I thought!
@@stephensweezey1422It’s a mushroom plug.

Can the screw still be removed and the tire patched from the inside like a shop would after that? Or would you treat it as a permanent fix?
Which 3rd-world hole do you live in?
@@LeoLopesLL he'd treat it like he don't give a fuck
What brand of polyurethane caulk do you use?
70 miles is nothing impressive 😉

Good man! You're a solid citizen.
But where is the camera man inside the tyre? We wanna know the inside conditions for research
😂😂😂😂
😁😂🤣
For some people, this is a permanent repair
😂😂😂 I felt that
This actually works! Im on 2 weeks. Highway. No air lost
Makes no sense a coated glue screw but then again I have a regular screw in my tire for months now with no leaks🤔
Can't accept the screw on my tires 🤣
Depending on the hole size of course ....
Take the nail replace with screw. Lmao
It's a rubber name with glue it's a new thing does work
This looks pretty solid especially with the water activated glue
It never said it's water activated.. it's to 'test' it. Also supposed to use soapy water so it makes meaningful bubbles.
Looks like a suppository. Are you sure its for plugging up a tire?
lol
You do whatever you want with it buddy!
You can screw it all the way down your asshole if you want
If you use that as a suppository, you'll be screwed!
I have some. From the tire shoo the owner show me how use this is very good idea
用一顆螺絲釘，去修另一個螺絲釘的洞，應該不要拔就好了
This is a temporary plug right?
Yes it is
@@knobsdialsandbuttons good... I was a bit concerned actually. That doesn't look good enough to be a real solution.
@@knobsdialsandbuttonsexcept that you've titled it "tyre repair kit". Urgh.
All plugs are temporary

The best temporary way to fix a tire

sure if it's from this thing
They may last a long time but I would only use these as a temporary repair, just to be safe
@@knobsdialsandbuttons should i replace it with regular plug thing?
Ideally you should have the tire inspected and patched from the inside at a tire shop
No patch tire plugs have always worked well for me. Zero issues since 1966.
thanks
You're welcome!
rubber-coated metal screw will work, but- must be fatter than the nail that was causing the flat...otherwise the threads of the repair screw will not " bite" the rubber tire to properly seal.
You could also install the repair screw so that it is a little below the flush level of the tire tread.
which he did in this video
Ótimo vou comprar chega de pagar 20 sendo que fica por 1.
How long will it last ... 2 days
Still a very helpful intel, TY.
Need to apply adhesive to it to
What about if the screw or nail that’s in your tire is on top of the tread? How is that supposed to wear properly with some screw plug in it??
Just go with rope plugs guys, they’re literally the best way to repair this
Answer is fucked
Rope plugs become loosen aftet time bcs you make bigger hole to insert it
@@mizi_21what you said is false

you shoud screw it more deep brother, or a after some time it will hit the road and damage your tire
Isso é apenas provisório até chegar na oficina e fazer um reparo quente definitivo 👍
What is the brand and where can I purchase this?
You can buy them on ebay or aliexpress
Won't the head eventually erode, and you'll be stuck with a flat again?
It's only meant to be used as an emergency repair so it shouldn't be in the tire for long.
It's a rubber nail not a metal one
@@helenjimenez9601 That's a metal screw coated in rubber. Doesn't take a genius to see from the video.
It IS possible that the head will wear off, but the screw WILL NOT back itself out !
@@ScratchyBaws
It's a rubber screw.
Cute tool
Easy Remove The Nail & Insert A Screw
No thanks..however it would make a good temporary fix..might even last for years..
So cool.
price
About 3 or 4 dollars per set
Replace a nail for a screw. Yeah no.
Your loss
Wow 😱😳and to think I’m still battling a nail in my tire smh .
Don’t do this, please use rope plugs. Like a SLIME brand tire repair kit. You’ll thank me later
bad idea, metal screws are better, as they last longer.
Just leave the nail in until you can get it to shop
Stops nail hole punctures huh 🤷🏼♂️ but what about screw hole punctures?
they have 3 mm and 5 mm size
Best for bikes i guess ?
I would only use these as a temporary repair though, until you can have the tire patched at a shop
Nothing like putting a nail in a brand new tire for demonstration purposes.
That tire was over 12 years old and wasn't roadworthy
Just trim the nail short and use rubber cement and save money if you don't really care about fixing the tire, but don't buy this.
I just bought a full size spare tire. Then i dont have to do this on the side of the road
Most new cars only come with a can of fix-a-flat, no spare, and no place to PUT one.
RUN from those cars!
Instead you have to replace the whole tire on side of the road 😮
Этот способ не самый лучший - так доехать до дома и сделать нормально.
These kits are handy for emergency repairs if you're stuck
Solo jodes más la llanta haces el hoyo más grande 😂 eso no sirve
Does it work while driving?
Hi
You could have used a used tyre to showcase this!
É só pra sair do prego mesmo
Take it to a shop and have it patched correctly. Or buy a new tire! I don’t trust my family to plugs.
Some puncher repair man think the patch we place innner side of tire incase of puncher is musroom plugs😅 i dont know weather its a scam or they really don't know what it is in india .
No!
THE REPAIR SCREW🤣🤣🤣 brother you might be onto something but it may be tough marketing.
“Hey I got a nail in my tire I need it fixed.”
Auto shop: “no problem mam, the repair screw is $70, when would you like to book?”
So basically replace a nail with a screw
Pretty much lol
Rubber screw..it works
These things really work. I've used different types in the past, I have these a go because they are inexpensive - not expecting much. I'm amazed how easy and effective they are.
Silicone covered screw lol
Someone reviewed this in my country, it can be temporary solution til you go to the actual repair station. That's all. Not even close to rubber plug kit
Well that was stupid. The nail did the same thing until you pulled it out.
Never
I d rather work on a no air tire so I can add rubber cement easily in the hole. Filling air ti tire is easy.
Not safe. As soon as it starts to unscrew it self it will have a blow out
It's a rubber screw with glue..it works
Them chinese.
L.4.B.A.M 💥💥💥
YEAH, but no.
Hahaha dont try it... My tire has lose air this screw pull it out.. I almost got acdnt..
👍
Thank you !
बहुत गलत पंक्चर है इससे टायर कभी भी फट सकता है
Lumulubog po yan hindi effective
And get a fail on your mot
Wasteful packaging
Go hug a tree
سوف تسمع باستمرار صوت تك تك تك تك
DO NOT ever use this stupid repair device extremely unreliable and it will fail
It's something Chinese have been using for years it's a rubber screw with glue,not metal so that's why it wont unscrew for one..does work..they sale those screws to fix tires..its easier and faster
Trading a nail for a screw😮😂😅😂
🤣🤣🤣
🔩
Bad item
Imagine this shit flying out at 70mph 😂
Not everything is DIY
It's designed as a short term emergency repair to get you to a tire shop, not motorway driving :)
Good!!as an emergency 👍🏻👌👌
@ Isan….🤣😂😭
I used one on my tire but I pit rubber cement on the screw and a year and a half later still haven't lost any air
it is a rubber screw i think you should put a tyre glue on it to last long.
That is crap!
