Tyre Plug Gun Repair Kit Tutorial - With Internal Views

Tubeless tyre puncture repair kit. This is a tutorial on how to use a tyre plug gun kit featuring internal views of the plugging process. This tubeless tyre repair kit is designed for fixing punctures on cars and other vehicles. This tyre plug kit is generally used as a temporary fix. I am not recommending the use of the kit as a replacement for a professional tyre shop repair but as a temporary repair to get you to a tyre shop and have it patched professionally. Thanks for watching.

Great video! No long explaining or loud music. Just straight to the point

My kits come with a metal can of rubber cement. You put the tip in the hole and inject a small amount so it gets inside around the hole. Then inject the plug. I have later removed the tire and looked inside. The head is actually glued in place. I have done 8 or 9 repairs this way over the years. Never had any of them leak for the life of the tires. Keep a kit in each of my cars.

Good video. I've used these exclusiely over the years and I've never had one leak, even when used non-temporary. My local garage used them exclusively as well.

When you pulled up on the plug it narrowed quite a bit as stretched. Seems to me the perfect time to get some rubber cement into the hole all round the plug then with gentle/careful pulls work the cement down in deep. Might not be needed but for those who like to overdo things to insure success it could be just the ticket.

I usually use the sticky treated plugs with cleaning rasp tool and insert tool in the kit and have never had one fail, even did one that took two plugs(ran over a 1/4" concrete tie) in the same hole but it got me the 32 miles to home in -20F weather, and at night on lonely country gravel roads too.I was relieved to see the lights of home!. I keep a kit, stocked with plugs, in each truck because I'm lazy and get as close to the project as I can to load/unload, but,near buildings is the prime place to get punctures. Oh yes, I also keep a 12v air compressor in each truck too for repairs on the road. Those compressors are slow but the entire repair can be done in 10-20 minutes depending how much air was lost.

As a Motorhome newbie, thank you for taking the time to make this video and sharing, it helps alot.... 😀

Wow, what an awesome job making this video. Internal view and external is the best teaching aid one can ever ask for. Thank you very much for taking the time to make and upload this video.

This only works well if you have an air source to refill the tire. Won't work on the side of the road in a pinch because it takes too long to apply the plug. You would have to be pretty quick to keep as much air in the tire as possible! I'll stick to the old plug type with the hand tools. You don't have to ream so much to fit the plug in the hole.

Great tutorial buddy, I'm a little sceptical about using this method. I guess the internal air pressure is supposed to hold the rubber bung up. It being used with no adhesive is for me is questionable. Definitely a get out the brown stuff situation use only. I myself wouldn't want to keep this in permanently 🤔.

Useful skill for every driver. Thanks for sharing!

[garysheppard]

I have used this method for years on construction sites where most of the tires are bias ply, but do not use on steel belted tires as it will cut the plug quickly, also it will break the belts in the tire. I've always aired the tire up to the correct pressure before inserting the plug, it will go in much easier.

Well, seems like more money than a regular old plug. Also, now you have a little rubber thing flying around inside the tire. Making noise when slow and also hitting the tpms on the valve stem. Not something I'll be buying for sure.

[HeartfeltShortsCinema]

You need to apply some glue to the stud

[rajeshg]

Best job without explain .. No faltu bakwash

[joeshmoe]

Comments regarding a quick fix. I would forgo this one, and use the 'rope' style. Cheap and faster and easier. For me personally, I consider the rope type as a permanent repair. Used them at least a dozen times, only had one leak.

The technique shown here certainly works but is not any more effective. If I had an inflation source, I wouldn't even bother with my spare. Plug inflate, get on your way. - Cheers

[blueridermg]

It's cool as a temporary fix for sure. Better than being stranded or having to replace with spare tire. Sometimes I'm well dressed and don't want to get dirty lol

[diegosilang]

Ingenious! Its essentially a pop rivet for tires.

[rafars]

I like the rubber material better. More glue and rubber material coming out a little while it cures for few days, creating a better and safer seal.

[saulgoodman]

I had this done as a temporary repair and when i took my car to my local shop for tyre replacement they said they can actually take the mushroom repair out and put a proper patch in so saved me a new tyre

[MrBat]

are these temporary fix or are they permanent fix? and do they work on radial tires?

[vtechead]

Good clear instructional video, well done. But I would be putting some glue on the mushroom and into the hole before using the tool. 👍
