- Vacuum tire repair nail kit demonstration and test. This handy tubeless tire repair kit is designed for emergency puncture repairs on cars, motorcycles and other vehicles. This small tire repair screw is for repairing a 1mm to 3mm hole and the larger size screw is for repairing 3mm to 5mm holes. Use the small one if your car or motorcycle tire is punctured with a small & thin nail. If the nail is larger, then use the bigger size.

I've been doing this for like 40 years lol. I use that black engine gasket silicone sealant on a screw and just thread it in. They last for months if needed. But its enough to get you someplace where you can get it fixed. Its also a good idea to keep a plug kit in your glovebox. I have several plug kits because i always fix peoples tires if i see them on the side of the road with a flat. I mounted an air compressor under my hood so i always have air.
Good job Sir.
Your way ahead of the game. I also carry those traditional straight rubber plugs and tire sealants on our RV . These seem to be so much easier to put in than those rubber sticks.
Complete hero 👏👏👏👏👏
update, put one on for several months already and still works perfectly, no air lost. the best part is only take five minutes or maybe less to repair the screw hole.
rope plug still the best invention ever
There's another YT video from auto channel who was doing a comparison test between these repair screws and repair sticky ropes. 4 screws on one and sticky ropes on other tire. All held up after 40km/25 miles and 90psi tests. And then, this guy did burnout of tires and 3 out of 4 repair screws were gone, but all the ropes held up. These repairs are absolute temporary repair, but there are really simple and easier to install compare to a ropes.
What lame brain would do a burn out with a temporarily repaired tire which is supposed to get you to the next tire shop.
@@achristian7015 Tyre plugs should last the life of the tyre.
Here is the tyre shop scam. You take your car in to replace the plug with a patch and they say; "we will have a look @ it and let you know if the tyre can be repaired."
All reasonable, you think. Hrs later, they ring you and tell you some bs that the tyre cannot be repaired. Ok, you think. Think again, they have taken the tyre off the rim, and now they insist that they cannot legally refit the tyre. You have been scammed.
The 2nd part of the scam is, they claim you must buy a new tyre (what choice do you have now). But... they dont have your tyre type in stock, or they cannot get it (all bs) and seing that your other 3 tyres are 'worn' (more bs, you thought they had another season left in them) and it would be safest to replace them all now so that they all match.
So, you went in for a $40 repair, and, 4 new tyres alter, it cost you $800.
Or, just fit a plug, they work fine. I have done it, it is very easy, and lasted the life of the tyre. If the plug falls out, the tyre slowly goes flat. Meh. This is not a blowout situation.
@@achristian7015: It was just a demonstration of durability. Dummy. 🤪🤪
@@nordic5490 Then find another repair shop. I took mine and wife's tires to two different local shops for patching and both done for just $20.
I purchased these screws to place in motorcycle emergency kit and they do great.
If you know how to use them, the standard rope kits are not much more difficult to use. If you choose one to carry, for me it will always be a rope kit. It is pretty essential to also carry a compressor. Be prepared.
Never used one, does look easy for someone incapable of pushing in a black rope.
Ill stick to the sticky black rope Ive used countless times as a permanent fix, never an issue.
For a larger hole this doesnt look like it will work, where at times Ive used two ropes, without a problem...
Keep in mind that most legit tire repair shops use plug patches wich are much more stable and installed from the inside out . I have installed hundreds of the push in plugs and only ever had problems with large size holes. Thats why i was looking at these options. There is these screw plugs and there is also these interesting ribbon shaped plugs im looking into. If the hole is in the side wall or outer tread near the side wall we aren't supposed to plug them because they arnt reliable and can compromise the tire. Sometimes there is multiple small holes or shrapnel in the tire wich causes multiple smaller leaks and the push in plugs won't work as well as a plug patch style.
Never take a tire for repair to any place that sells tires. They lie and rip you off to sell a new tire. I caught a local place doing it. I had plugged the tire but still had a leak. I wanted a real plug put in. They made me wait 2 hours and charged me 30 bucks. The next day the tire was low. I went back they toook the tire off rim and told me I needed new one. They wanted me to open trunk for temp spare so I had to go out in bay. I saw the tire off the rim. Looked inside and saw they never repaired it just the plug I put in. I snapped a pic and told them put tire back on rim and on car. When they tried to charge me I showed pic. I was going make a complaint. They did not charge and refunded the first charge also for the phony fix. Turns out the guys in shop get kick backs on tire sold.
I would prefer forking out £60 for a new tyre than dying in an RTA.
@@SuperLittleTyke that's the thing. If you know how to plug a tire well. There is no need to die in a road traffic accident or pay for a new tire to replace your old one which depending on the condition, it might actually get resold by the repair shop. So technically speaking you would not only be wasting money on an unnecessary new tire, but also donating a good tire to your local shop. 🤷♂️
Fixing a tire on your own is way easier than changing your tire for the spare. Which is also quite simple to do, and not worth wasting the money for someone else to do the same thing. If you are worried about the time it might take. It would always take a lot longer for someone else to do it.
There are exceptions of course, which only applies when the side wall of the tire has been damaged.
Discount Tire fixes flats for free. Also free tire rotation for the life of tires purchased there.
Good one
this is the real world . big fish eat small fish .
I'm going to buy these and try them on my mower tires. I've used the rubber ropes and had both good and bad luck with them and hard to put in.
Nice! Thanks for the tip!👍Keep up the great content.✌
Thanks, will do!
Thinking add a little extra tire glue.
Use a spray bottle of water with a little dish soap to see better bubbles of leaking air.
Yeah I had to say that's just for a short-term emergency
Have you any spike winter tires? Is it miracle how they remain in?
Did you add the compound to yours that you do on the rope plugs? It seems like it would work better with rubber cement.
No, these repair screws come with their own sealant already on the threads
Cool trick. Best wishes
Thank you! Cheers!
I use the old tire plug kit. And if I want to get crazy i will put a patch on from inside of the tire
WoW !! So cool & easy.👍
Thanks for watching !
Thank you sir❤
You're welcome
I've given that kind of screw advice often without knowing about that product. The best emergency repair for nail puncture. I use screw with rubber tape. Screw can be longer than those.
Key word emergency, not permanent but robe has been for me and easier
How long will this last? For sure you have to fix it the right way as soon as possible.
Tried that, wouldn't last for too long so it is better to use a rope plug instead.
3 weeks ago I did one on my car and still can not see any leak .
Squeeze a few drops of rubber cement in before the screw, it might last months longer.
Very good
Thanks
As many have noted, "screwing" the tire is only a TEMPORARY stop-leak measure, but it's by far the EASIEST method.
After "screwing" the tire and reinflating it (** IF ** you have a portable tire pump!), ** IMMEDIATELY ** (if not sooner!) head to a tire repair station (Les Schwab, Discount Tire, a gas station with a real garage, etc.) to get the tire Properly And Permanently repaired!
Most shops will dismount the tire from the rim and patch on the inside. That being said, they will tell you that a new tire is needed because it maybe against the law because the belt is damaged. That is what a shop will tell you.
There is a weakness with the rubber plugs. Installing those plugs in most tires that have steel belts, the steel belts are like screen door screen but tighter weave. They have been known to saw through rubber plugs as they flex with every rotation of the tire.. I have never heard of that happening with the string plugs. But I have seen it with the rubber plugs
In this video the metal screw has a rubber compound around it, and bear in mind you taking the nail out or the screw of the tyre which now has a hole in it, and there's only a Steel Band around the rim of the tyre not through the tyre, that's why they recycle the tyres for playgrounds.
@@1971davethere's steel mesh throughout the entire tire not just the tire bead or the "rim of the tyre". Upon inflation, the tire would greatly expand in size if the tire were only reinforced near the bead.
Tires may be made without the whole tyre being reinforced in Europe, but here in North America they are.
The tread is the tire’s first layer, the belt is the second one, and then comes its inner lining that holds the air inside. Run a tire well below the tread depth and the cord begins to show and poke thru. Grabbing a tire with thin steel wires sticking thru doesn't feel good. It's equivalent to grabbing a frayed cable with your bare hands.
Exelente job .👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks !
Soap solution picks up airloss
I agree, water is not the best for this. If I don't have any soap solution to hand than plenty of spit on it works well.
I d rather remove tire air and apply rubber glue and then screw in so the rubber glue will be pushed inside.
Impressive, do u need later on 2 have permanent repair or this is enough and will hold on 4 good. , thaks
I would only use this as a temporary repair
Sheet metal screw with glue works just fine
...не понятно!-, это что, резиновый саморез что-ли?, а где можно приобрести такой же набор?
I don't like that method. I prefer the plug style. That method hasn't failed me yet. Been using it for years now.
As long as you have the right sort of puncture it's ok.
Sticky rope plugs are good, umbrella patch (plug patch) is best. Internal patch is the worst, because it does not seal the layers of the tire. Air gets between the belts and slowly separates them, and the tire fails.
That is incorrect. An Internal patch is best for tire repair. A plug is temporary.
Tire layers...
The tread is the tire’s first layer, the belt is the second and then comes its inner lining that holds the air inside. If you're getting air "between the belts" then you have bigger problems than a simple hole in your tire. Your whole tire is compromised. If air is getting past the lining then your tire would not be holding air. Tires are made so that air cannot get between the layers even when the tire is punctured. It's not like the layers of the tire are glued together. The belt is submerged into rubber when it's in a liquid state.
You have infinite knowledge at your fingertips (literally). Don't be afraid or too proud to verify that your beliefs are facts.
My tire flat can i just screw it in then air it up
The only advantage to this is that it would be so easy to do roadside. I would definitely not trust it as a permanent repair. TBH, if the nail was still in the tire, I'd just leave it in until I could do the "sticky ropes" repair, or take it to a tire shop. I've used the sticky ropes and left them in for years without problems, but not this.
It is sometimes difficult to get those snot worms into the tires. Otherwise they are perfect.
I have a sticky rope in a tire that is 9 years old...still holds air
@@Deontjie Its only difficult if you don't ream the hole out to the size of the file in the kit. You have to spend a few minutes with the file to get it perfect. Then the plugs pop right in and the push stick pops right out.
@@krodkrod8132well u dont want it popping in and out too easy or the whole is too big. Has to be snug enough
New ideas emerge. But when will tubeless tyres also go.
Yeah that's true, I'm surprised they haven't gone years ago.
Can the screw be easily removed later to do a rope patch?
Yes it can
so ,after that do it need to go to tire shop to repair the tire or just keep like that
I would only use it as a short-term fix and have it patched at a tire shop asap
I use a real Robertson screw number 2, 3/4 inch long. Will do the job until you take it in to get your tire repair.
I've just got some of these. Do they work, if so how long? Should I still have the tyre properly repaired
Yes, I would only use them in an emergency situation and I would get the tire patched at a tire shop as soon as possible.
I am surprised you do not use glue too?
Best to just keep the nail in and drive to the nearest service station to get it repaired or replaced. Any punctured tire is compromised and waiting for another flat or a blow out to happen.
Now days your auto insurance or regular dealer maintenance oil change would cover roadside service tire puncture repairs or replacement if unrepairable.
Hell, the nail did that.
If i drive over a screw, is the tire still fixed?
If it's a repair screw, possibly lol
Can't help but see a Bot fly larvae in the thumbnail, ha!
Or a pupa, now that you mention it.
The whole problem is that you will only notice that the tire is flat when it is already deflated... If I know that my car's tire is just leaking air, I will go to a tire shop and they will fix it there... To What happens if the tire is already deflated?? Even if I locate where the puncture is (which is usually not possible), if I put this in to seal it, how am I going to re-inflate the tire????
I bet if you use it with rubber cement,it will be permanent in there.
What happens when you drive on it?
Is this even legal in the UK?
Soapy water will bubble better than clean warer
So basically, you're removing a nail to put in a screw. Weird.
My advice would be tohave these and the rope plugs. All punctures are not from screws or nails going straight in, I tried one of these on a plug made by a flat piece of metal. Did not deal. The rope plug did.
How can i do business with you
If ypu have to do this, use superglue on the tread first. It WILL come out no matter what, so emergency use only.
this lasted me 3 years before the treads wore out.
Years mean nothing. What was the mileage?
Better than sticky rope plugs because those plugs dry out with age...the screws don't.
Is this a temporary fix? Means you still have to drive to the repair shop to get it fixed again right?
Yes I would only use it as an emergency repair.
You got a flat ?, screw that. Instructions : pull out nail and insert screw.
Why over inflate by 14 PSI to 50 PSI?
To show it still holds in the air
It's not necessary to replace the tire for a new one when punctured. You can repare it many times for years without problems. I say that for experience. If you can't repair for yourself, take the tire to a repair shop but don't buy a new tire.
If a thieves run over a spike strip and can get to a side street for a few minutes these will work well. Screw them into the spikes 🎉🎉🎉
not the best but better than nothing
Perhaps as a very temporary fix to get to a tire repair facility, but this is NOT anything close to a permanent repair. The only way this is better than one of those Fix-a-Flat type of products is that those sealants make a big mess that has to be cleaned from the inside of the tire and the wheel prior to a proper repair, but this screw method shouldn't have that problem. Eventually, sooner or later depending on how you drive, the odds are good the screw will come out and possibly damage your vehicle or the one following it. Get it fixed properly.
저건 임시용 조금 지나면 다시 샘
This woud not work very well on a tyre that has very little tred left, there would not be as much depth thus no protection for the insert itself, which would be in contact with the road and wear away.
Anybody who says China can't innovate is out of their minds.
These screws are just a get you to a garage fix whereas the rope and glue plugs are a permanent repair so I don’t see the point in the screw.
This never work, because the whole screw will drop inside the tire , I tried it many times and ended up return the kits
The hole is too big for the rubber nail screw being used.
You just saw a video of it working....
These work fine for a few days until you can get the tire repaired properly.
I voiced you have a screw in your tire.
Looks like a box of pills when they opened it
More like suppositories lol :)
Nice!!
Then never fix it.
i have these and i like them, but don't consider it a permanent repair.
I agree
How is this any better than leaving the nail in place and taking it to a repair shop? What a gimmick!
🐱👍🏿
Thanks !
This does not beat the tire plug, nice try though.
Rubber glue should be applied……
That is what I was wondering. What type of glue should be used?
Why buy a plastic screw when you can use a real screw
In the U.K. any small object (including the repair screw) is an MOT failure and deemed unsafe. If you remove the nail and insert a screw you are admitting you knew about it so you could be uninsured/ prosecuted if you have a bad accident. Having said that, I used to use screws + rubber glue for semi-permanent repairs many years ago, particularly if the tyre was close to the tread limit and not worth repairing. Never had a problem but I’m more of a stickler for being completely legal these days.
In addition to potential prosecution by the police, what is the insurance company going to say if it establishes that this kind of repair was done and there's a crash?
What about small pebbles that get stuck between the tire grooves? Would the rope type of repair be considered "small objects"?
You said you are not endorsing the product. But the video would be much more useful if you provided the link.
Anybody know if they're reusable?
No I don't think so
I have even better solution. Leave this nail where it is. Top up some air if necessary and go to tyre shop when it's possible to repair it properly ;)
Tyre plugs should last the life of the tyre.
Here is the tyre shop scam. You take your car in to replace the plug with a patch and they say; "we will have a look @ it and let you know if the tyre can be repaired."

They will sell you a new tire. Some of these that are thru the belt are illegal to repair due to liability issues.
I afraid that the high pressure will fire out the screw as a bullet sometimes. Just worried
What high pressure?
I seen another video testing this repair screws and stick rope. Both held even at 90psi, but those screws are definitely temporary repair and should be properly patched.
YEAH, but no.
These things do not work ! I ordered them and still had to take my car to shop !
Screwed again.....🤷♂🤷♂
There’s no way I would put my trust in a piece of crap like that, only an idiot would, it’s still holding air with the nail in it, just drive ASAP to the nearest repair centre and have it repaired professionally.
Lol scam, 1 video and 2 different tires
It's the same tire, you can see the white markings on it
Andha hain kya ? Bina dekhe comment kar deta hain tyre vahi hai pahle jo tha vahi tyre hain
This is very dangerous !!! U're deforming the tire, it's not rubber it's iron u're adding to it
Not too bright are ya?
It’s not deforming the tire, it’s just plugging a hole. And Jfyi there are steel belts imbedded in 99% of auto tires on the road.
Very bad, these should be illegal !!
I'm just demonstrating how they're used
Why should it be illegal?
Must own a tire repair shop.
They are DOT approved! Your misinformation should be ILLEGAL!
These are temporary fix to get to where you need to be before you get the tire patched properly. I tried the stick rope, but it's not the easiest to put it on even in my driveway. I can't imagine doing that on the side of highway in the middle of winter.
Tyre rope plugs should last the life of the tyre.
For those of you who think "just go down the tyre shop". Beware. Here is the tyre shop scam. You take your car in to replace the rope plug with a patch and they say; "we will have a look @ it and let you know if the tyre can be repaired."
All reasonable, you think. Hrs later, they ring you and tell you some bs that the tyre cannot be repaired. You challenge them, and the tell you that they have taken the tyre off the rim, and now they insist that they cannot legally refit the tyre because of damage from the nail, other unrelated minor damage, or due to treadware, or some other bs. You have been scammed.
The 2nd part of the scam is, they claim you must buy a new tyre (what choice do you have now). But... they dont have your tyre type in stock, or they cannot get them (all bs) and seeing that your other 3 tyres are 'worn' (more bs, you thought they had another season left in them) and it would be safest to replace them all now so that they all match.
So, you went in for a $40 repair, and, 4 new tyres alter, it cost you $800.
Or, just fit a plug, they work fine. I have done it, it is very easy, and lasted the life of the tyre. If the plug falls out, the tyre slowly goes flat. Meh. This is not a blowout situation.
