Dude, this was one of of the most straightforward, simple, informative videos of the process I have ever watched! Thanks. Looking forward to fix my tire.
Great video! I love how you captured every single step and also a bonus clip at the end. I repaired a tire before but was looking for a refresher. Thanks!
I own a 32 ton tipper truck and these plugs are a god send! I carry an air line and can pull a nail out, do the repair and blow tyre back up to 110psi in ten minutes.
The best video of the bunch. Love it! I watched them all, and watching this one did it for me. 1) remove the screw or nail 2) use the reamer to (a) clean the hole and (b) make sure the hole is big enough for step 3. cleaning means if there were oil or grease, etc. you want to scrape that off, you want the hole to be pure tire rubber only, to ensure a good seal, if the hole is too small for step 3, you don't want to find out too late, so you want to mimic step 3, slowly push the reamer into the hole, and quickly pull out, if you can do this, then step 3 should go OK 3) thread the plug into the pusher tool, coat the plug with rubber cement, slowly push the plug into the hole about 2/3 in, then QUICKLY pull the tool out, the pusher tool has an opening at the tip, allowing the plug to disengage with the tool, I have read in other links that the rubber cement is not necessary for sealing, it is used only as a lubricant for the plug to slide in, some plug kits don't even include the rubber cement, 4) cut off excess plug, and re-inflate, nowhere do they tell you if you have to wait between steps 3 and 4, not necessary to trim off neatly, the road will trim off, 5) if still leaks, repeat steps 2-4
I've just repaired my rear motorcycle tyre with one of these plug kits. Seeing the internal shot gives me more peace of mind that its worked. Great video
Yeah, it's pretty much that easy. As another reviewer has stated, it's easier to make this repair when the tire has pressure in it. You can make this repair without even taking the tire off if you don't mind laying on your side, partially under the car/truck while you make the repair. A couple of tips-- If the hole is small and you can't find it, mix 5% dishwashing liquid (Dawn, etc.) in water and slowly pour it over the tire with the tire inflated. The leak will cause a mound of bubbles which will be easy to see. The purpose of the reamer is to clean and slightly enlarge the hole. Don't ream any more than you need to in order to insert the plug. If on your first try you push too hard and the plug goes all the way into the tire, join the club. Everybody has done that. No worries, just put another plug on and try again. If you can't get the plug threaded thru the plug tool eye, take a flat screwdriver, insert it into the opening and very slightly pry it open. Then slide the plug in, pull the plug thru with pliers and remove the screwdriver. Use plenty of glue when coating the plug. Sometimes when removing the plug tool you'll pull the plug out. If that happens, try again and this time before pulling out use the pliers to bracket the plug tool and push down on the plug ends and tire face while removing the plug tool. This method usually works for good, but not always. An inside patch is better but it isn't perfect either. And, this method can address the growing problem of tire repair stores refusing to patch a hole that's even slightly close to the sidewall. A hole in the sidewall is not patchable and I agree the tire is toast. But more and more tire stores are telling a customer that a hole is "too close" to the sidewall and they need a new tire, when in fact they just want to sell you a new tire, or better yet, a whole new set.
It is illegal or against policy for a tyre repair company to try and sell a new tyre instead of repairing it. They don't try that on company or fleet vehicles.They are not allowed.

The view from inside the tire was the most genius and helpful thing ever. 99% of us are wondering is this even work, and if so, how? And you just answered it without saying a word. Thanks pal, subscribed
One of the best videos, really liked to see that the plug folding again onto itself increasing even more the sealing pressure around the hole,and forming a head inside...
Thanks for the inside of the tire view. Im always worried that my plug is not in the tire far enough. Now I see that it only needs a small amount poking through. Nice.
Thanks pal! Recently I have had a flat tire caused by a screw lying on the parking lot's ground. I'm going to order a repair kit and I'll to do it by my own this time.
Great video minus any BS. Liked it. Specially the bonus view from inside. I guess in practice the tyre would still be attached to the car and inflated when we do this.
Clear, well-illustrated, and to the point. The view from the inside was a great touch--I'd wondered how the tool released the plug, and your video shows it.
I used these on a tyre and did burnouts, no problem. Always carry them on my car as if you see a nail or screw in your tyre you can just pull into a servo and fix on the spot without removing tyre. Never any issues with them.
I’ve been using these since 1988, approximately 30 times, and each time the tyre lasted its entire life without further intervention to any of the plugs. If done properly, no leaks, no issues - follow the manufacturers instructions precisely.
Have you done this kind of respiring near the shoulder of any of the tyres and how long do they last usually? Every tyre shop I spoke to would just refuse to repair if the puncture is outside the central 1/3 width.
@@thisisarandomstring That’s for warranty purposes they don’t do it. The tire manufacturer voids the warranty. Sometimes shoulder patches leak and sometimes they don’t. It doesn’t hurt to try and it certainly isn’t dangerous like so many clueless people say.
I followed the instructions, and see from this that I did it wrong! The instructions got my fingers covered in glue and no glue on the strips, just the needle.
It's not the centrifugal force that pulls that plug out, it's due to the tire skidding on the road due to braking. If it's due to the spinning of the tire then the plug was barely in to begin with.
Appreciate you very much. I was too embarrassed to ask anyone how, so thank you for walking us through. Saved me $40, thank you and God bless you and yours.
Great video. Been doing this for years exactly accept no cement. I leave the tire on the vehicle positioning just right for me to work on. Fill the tire with air and locate object causing leak. Remove object and perform these exact steps. Grab my air compressor fill tire to proper psi. Not one has ever failed me. This method makes quick work.
The cement is probably a good idea - it's not glue in the normal sense; it contains a vulcanising agent that melts the rubber it touches and then evaporates out, so it acts like a weld. Without it, in theory the plug could be blown out... but the comments don't agree, so it's probably not critical on a regular family car.
Perfect instructional video. I don't know what you look like, what you sound like, anything about your sense of humor, what you do for a living, if you enjoy shoving sticky rubbers into things....but I know how to fix my tire. Thx
Very nice video. Specially liked the last part showing how it works. The rubber stick compound have really amazing rheological properties. We can see that the compound flows when a high shear is applied as the needle is pulled out quickly. Really interested to see if the same happens when we pull out slowly. If not, then shear thinning is very critical for the success of the product. The video is also very useful for demonstrating to Polymer students on the principle of Rheology. Thank you.
I haven't had a flat tire in many years. Thought I'd better take a refresher course. I normally carry two fresh repair kits and an air compressor in my vehicle. You nailed it......... thank you.......
mrnice88x tire plugs are dangerous..if they drove on the flat long then the inside of the sidewalls are thin and a bunch of rubber shavings came off inside the tire..so you could plug it and wouldn’t even notice the sidewall being thin and could have a blowout and then the shop getting sued
@@rahrah8076 Fella, if it's your own motor and you know that you didn't drive it, then happy days. I wouldn't recomend it for some thick tart that asked you to do it because people kept telling her tyres is flat for last 20 miles.
I had a nail go in a tire head first. The hole was so large, I need 3 of the strips to stop the leak. Since I was planning on getting new tires soon, I thought this would be a really good experiment. The 3 plugs held for 3 months without losing any air, that was when I got my new tires. I was truly surprised. I wouldn't recommend using that many, but it worked extremely well.
This is awesome. I was pretty sure I knew how to do this, I've seen my brother do it with the tire still on the car. But I just bought a used minivan that came with no spare tire. I already had a tubeless repair kit so I tossed that in the back and bought a 12V compressor. Unless I end up with something severe like a sidewall blowout I feel fully prepared to fix the flat and keep going! Well done.
The inside shot was like Hollywood, you should be a director, who would have though to see it from the tyres point of view . Deep pensive and thought provoking. Must see
finally used one of these today after driving around with a screw in the tyre.. these things are amazing and i wish i had known about these like 20 years ago
Well done video! To use this type of kit the tire can stay on the vehicle because the tools are small which is a HUGE plus to me. I carry a plug kit and 12V compressor for when there is no power for my big compressor on the road. This is the only type of plug kit I have ever used on pickup tires here in the states. It has never failed me and,working construction site with dropped nails/screws,I have driven unknowable miles on plugged tires over the decades. The only exception was when I got a 1/4" concrete form tie in the right rear tire one winter. On the 2nd attempt I had to use two plugs in that hole to totally stop the leak. I didn't feel so confident in it's long term use so I replaced the tire sometime soon after that night. That night was -20F. I fixed it at a friends country house out in the cold wind after dropping off another friend who worked for me,then drove 32 miles home hoping I wouldn't have to stop some random place and do it again. Talk about relief to see the lights of home! That double plug did not fail,I just didn't trust it for the long term. I do like the looks of some of the other type UK kits I see,I like them alot, but they look to be best used with the rim and tire off which would slow me down too much as a road repair. I would sure consider them for home use though!
OH YEAH!!! Nice internal shot!! I've always wondered why the patch doesn't come out with the tool when you quickly pull out. I didn't realize the end of the tool opens!! Nice video.
this is the only video that shows the view of what happens from inside a tire. it answered the question of what the rubber strip looks like inside after you pull out the insertion rod! thank you for the works! P.S. I think the final cut should be flush with the tire surface.
Nice video mate, I’ve been repairing my tyres the same way for about 15 years and although there is a lot of discussions about this method I never had a problem 👍👍👍
@@erenoglu 200, What are you trying to do, kill yourself or others on the highway?. How old are you? No adult in their right state of mind would even say anything out that. hat 9fast.Are you even human?
I have used these for years, they work great. Never put one in a sidewall though, maybe only to get to a Station. Make sure you ream the hole well or you will not be able to get the new one in. Use the glue but if you don't have any that's okay. Note: always get the upgraded T handle so you can push harder, the screwdriver looking ones are useless for pushing in
Wow it's amazing how you got the camera inside the tubeless tire . First I have seen how sticky rubber cement gets molded in between the holes so perfectly bonded in a sticky fibers.
All along I’ve been paying $10 for tire repair when I can buy a kit for $7 and repair it myself several times with it. I thought there was a more complex way and for safety it needs a professional repair unlike a bike tire which I learned to change for a long time. I’ve seen the shop do it and it’s exactly this way so I finally did this myself. I had a rental that needed tire repair so I used it as my first test. Great inside view so I feel an assurance how it’ll hold up. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Really straightforward, useful, no-frills tutorial. Very useful. No one mentioned how much strength it takes to make those punch-through holes though. God! I really under-estimated that. 😂
What a great video; just got my tire repaired @ a roadside garage (screw in the tyre) & had never seen this procedure before!? This video has completely pacified my concerns! Nice1 ~ Thank you 😊👍
So informative review precise and concise. I appreciate this kind of review straight and direct instructions. I dont like reviews with so much introduction, talking and walking around the bush. I observed most american vloggers talk to much on reviews.
Thank you Sir! Was a bit iffy but easy as, didn't even have to remove the tyre. The inside shot sold me, don't be afraid to get rough & get a nice hole. Happy New Year mate!! (Will update on longevity)
@screwsnutsandbolts Hopefully NO JINX, knocks wood 3 times + throws salt over my shoulder as I turn around 3 times, but still holding up, from an unrepairable sidewall puncture! Have helped others & shown them this video!
I used this method at a 24 hour service station 45 years ago did hundred of tires never had one come back. I did a water test them if I could to make sure before they left the shop, we used vulcanizing rubber compound for the glue

The best video of the bunch. Love it!
I watched them all, and watching this one did it for me.
1) remove the screw or nail
2) use the reamer to (a) clean the hole and (b) make sure the hole is big enough for step 3.
cleaning means if there were oil or grease, etc. you want to scrape that off,
you want the hole to be pure tire rubber only, to ensure a good seal,
if the hole is too small for step 3, you don't want to find out too late,
so you want to mimic step 3, slowly push the reamer into the hole, and quickly pull out,
if you can do this, then step 3 should go OK
3) thread the plug into the pusher tool, coat the plug with rubber cement,
slowly push the plug into the hole about 2/3 in, then QUICKLY pull the tool out,
the pusher tool has an opening at the tip, allowing the plug to disengage with the tool,
I have read in other links that the rubber cement is not necessary for sealing,
it is used only as a lubricant for the plug to slide in,
some plug kits don't even include the rubber cement,
4) cut off excess plug, and re-inflate,
nowhere do they tell you if you have to wait between steps 3 and 4,
not necessary to trim off neatly, the road will trim off,
5) if still leaks, repeat steps 2-4
2 years on and I’m using this video. Exactly what I needed. Straight to the point.

The inside shot was like Hollywood, you should be a director, who would have though to see it from the tyres point of view . Deep pensive and thought provoking. Must see
lol thank you ! 😄
I’m so happy you made this, I got real high and wanted to see what it looked like from the inside, great job .
Glad you liked it!
Great video!!! Straight to the point without BS and showing the inside process is the icing on the cake!
Thank you very much ! :)
finally used one of these today after driving around with a screw in the tyre.. these things are amazing and i wish i had known about these like 20 years ago
Well done video! To use this type of kit the tire can stay on the vehicle because the tools are small which is a HUGE plus to me. I carry a plug kit and 12V compressor for when there is no power for my big compressor on the road. This is the only type of plug kit I have ever used on pickup tires here in the states. It has never failed me and,working construction site with dropped nails/screws,I have driven unknowable miles on plugged tires over the decades.
The only exception was when I got a 1/4" concrete form tie in the right rear tire one winter. On the 2nd attempt I had to use two plugs in that hole to totally stop the leak. I didn't feel so confident in it's long term use so I replaced the tire sometime soon after that night. That night was -20F. I fixed it at a friends country house out in the cold wind after dropping off another friend who worked for me,then drove 32 miles home hoping I wouldn't have to stop some random place and do it again. Talk about relief to see the lights of home! That double plug did not fail,I just didn't trust it for the long term.
I do like the looks of some of the other type UK kits I see,I like them alot, but they look to be best used with the rim and tire off which would slow me down too much as a road repair. I would sure consider them for home use though!
Excellent video - thanks a bunch! Now to try this on a leaking washing machine sump 🤔
OH YEAH!!! Nice internal shot!! I've always wondered why the patch doesn't come out with the tool when you quickly pull out. I didn't realize the end of the tool opens!! Nice video.
Thanks very much ! :)
Excellent video.. brief, to the point and the end shot from inside the tyre explained it all in an instant..
Thanks from the UK for posting
You're very welcome, thanks for watching !
I love the video showing how it worked inside the tire … Thank You ...
Thanks for watching :)
this is the only video that shows the view of what happens from inside a tire. it answered the question of what the rubber strip looks like inside after you pull out the insertion rod! thank you for the works! P.S. I think the final cut should be flush with the tire surface.
After watching a number of videos this was the best by far!!! Bought repair kit from Habor Freight yesterday, fixed this morning. Thanks.
You're welcome, thanks for watching ! :)
Nice video mate, I’ve been repairing my tyres the same way for about 15 years and although there is a lot of discussions about this method I never had a problem 👍👍👍
Thanks !, me neither :)
Always go to professional to check the tire form inside it maybe damaged.
Can i drive 200 on highway whit this ?
@@erenoglu 200, What are you trying to do, kill yourself or others on the highway?. How old are you? No adult in their right state of mind would even say anything out that. hat 9fast.Are you even human?
Excellent demo. The picture quality and the steps are clearly shown. Very nice. Thank you.
Thank you very much ! :)
I have used these for years, they work great. Never put one in a sidewall though, maybe only to get to a Station. Make sure you ream the hole well or you will not be able to get the new one in. Use the glue but if you don't have any that's okay. Note: always get the upgraded T handle so you can push harder, the screwdriver looking ones are useless for pushing in
Yeah, the screwdriver ones only work on riding mower & moped tires (tyres).
Wow it's amazing how you got the camera inside the tubeless tire . First I have seen how sticky rubber cement gets molded in between the holes so perfectly bonded in a sticky fibers.
That last shot from inside the tire was BRILLIANT! Bravo!
Thank you ! 👍
Great view. I've plugged maybe 5-10 punctures over the years and always wondered how it looked/sealed from the inside
Thanks very much :)
Did it once to my Harley's back tire. Got the job done and allowed me to ride 8 hrs to get a new tire.
It could have went a lot longer than 8 hours
Well done. Informative, straight to the point. Nothing excessive. Again, well done!!!
Thanks very much ! :)
All along I’ve been paying $10 for tire repair when I can buy a kit for $7 and repair it myself several times with it. I thought there was a more complex way and for safety it needs a professional repair unlike a bike tire which I learned to change for a long time. I’ve seen the shop do it and it’s exactly this way so I finally did this myself. I had a rental that needed tire repair so I used it as my first test. Great inside view so I feel an assurance how it’ll hold up. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for watching ! :)
Really straightforward, useful, no-frills tutorial.
Very useful.
No one mentioned how much strength it takes to make those punch-through holes though.
God! I really under-estimated that. 😂
Thanks for watching !
Great video! The internal view is the money shot! Thanks.
Thanks very much ! :)
The ending gives Justice😊
I wish more people thought like & put in as much effort as this guy. That inside view will help a ton of people that have difficulty with this.
Thank you !
For years I have been using this method to patch the tires of my car .
Thanks buddy
Thanks for watching !
As I have seen the process via other visual footage. What is better with this one, is at the end is SEEN what it looks like inside. Nice.
Thanks very much :)
One of the best videos that shows clearly how fixing a puncture works inside-out :). Thank you @ScrewsNutsAndBolts. +1 subscriber :)
Thanks very much :)
View from inside the tyre was a good idea, I wasn't too confident how good it would be but it bunches up like a mushroom.
Thank you :)
Use these all the time brilliant bits of kit, get you out of some right jams.
What a great video; just got my tire repaired @ a roadside garage (screw in the tyre) & had never seen this procedure before!? This video has completely pacified my concerns! Nice1 ~ Thank you 😊👍
Thanks for watching !
So informative review precise and concise. I appreciate this kind of review straight and direct instructions. I dont like reviews with so much introduction, talking and walking around the bush. I observed most american vloggers talk to much on reviews.
Thank you very much ! :)
Thank you Sir! Was a bit iffy but easy as, didn't even have to remove the tyre. The inside shot sold me, don't be afraid to get rough & get a nice hole. Happy New Year mate!! (Will update on longevity)
Thank you !, Happy new year to you too :)
@screwsnutsandbolts
Hopefully NO JINX, knocks wood 3 times + throws salt over my shoulder as I turn around 3 times, but still holding up, from an unrepairable sidewall puncture!
Have helped others & shown them this video!
Over 4 million views in just 2 years. Wow. That is amazing
What a Video!! the inner view was so satisfying...❤️
Thanks for watching ! :)
Did the trick! Thanks so much 👌
You're welcome !
Nice. Got a set in my garage. I need to get a set for my trunk box. Again simply great.
Thanks for watching !
Always wanted to know what it looked like from the inside. Thanks!
Thanks for watching ! :)
I used this method at a 24 hour service station 45 years ago did hundred of tires never had one come back. I did a water test them if I could to make sure before they left the shop, we used vulcanizing rubber compound for the glue
Yeah, O'reilly's sells it. It's around $30 a bottle. Says "for professional use."
The view from the inside was a great important show --I wondered how the tool released the plug, and your video shows it.
Thanks for watching :)
Yeah..same question I had
I loved the hole in tire video!
lol Thanks 😁
Great tutorial no messing about, got the job done.
Thank you sir.
Thanks for watching !
