ARI Airplugger, A Compact Tire Repair Kit, Silver, One Size

Ok so this is a little self contained tire plug kit. I got it open looked, good enough. It was easy to use, it is tiny, worked. And it didn't break on the first use. I paid next to nothing for this and it is worth 2x what I paid.Quick story: I was riding around today, and saw a motorcycle on the side of the road. I generally stop - yeah I know generally a bad idea but a biker is a biker (I would hope some one would save my butt if it ever happens to me). It was a young guy on a 500cc Honda adv bike. Flat rear tire, oof, I have my if stuff happens back pack with this little gem in it, find what looks to be the leak, ream it out, toss a plug in, his dad had an air compressor. Got the dude back on the road in a 10 minutes after a quick ride around the parking lot.Super good enough, I would suggest getting one if you are on the fence.

This is by far the smallest plugger that I've seen online, so it was nice to have in my motorcycle saddlebags for a just in case item.I got a nail in my rear tire on my commute which led to a slow leak. Luckily I was able to use this and plug up my tire at my work's garage. The ream worked well, but the plugging was more difficult to use.The plug is incredibly thick, and there's no description on it so I don't know if this is the one that's meant to be used with rubber cement, and it's hard to tell about the quality of the plugs. When plugging the tire, I had to push super hard, and I always had the fear that the shaft of the plugger would go through the end and stab my hand. That didn't happen of course, but the design of it definitely gives that fear.Since the kit has space inside, I would put gloves, single use rubber cement tubes, and replace the plugs with some higher quality ones. These are all small nitpicks. Overall, the product is nice and priced well.

The thing is great for carrying on my bike instead of the bulky slime one in my car.not that I mind silver but do wish they had other colors but that's just me finding something to complain about.will be buying some for my sons.

Very nicely designed tool. Compact with no sharp points to harm your other gear. Seems to be made well leaning towards light weight. The aluminum tube appears thick enough to work. The reamer and theading tool seem strong enough as long as you're careful during use. I am sure it can be bent or hit hard enough to dislodge it from the slot.I have not used this tool on my motorcycle yet. It should work, and I will be carrying it going forward. Leaving off one star until I have used it. But assume it will eventually get the 5th star.I have logged about 250,000mi on three bikes over 20 years. I have plugged 4 flats on my bikes, and a couple of other bikes during that time. This type of tool is not used all that frequently, but hopefully always on the bike. So storage is key, and this tool delivers.

Best air plug purchase I’ve ever made. Lightweight, durable, and effective. I carry this on my adventure, bike every trip.

I have not used it yet and hope to never have to.I was surprised when I held this in my hand. It has a surprising heft for its size and given that the handle/case is aluminum. You could probably drive over it with a pickup truck and do nothing but scratch it up.I measured the wall thickness and it was 2.75 mm (7/64 inch). Total weight is 106 grams (3.7 oz) with the 5 included plugs and 90 grams (3.2 oz) without the plugs.The reamer and the plug needle are made of chromed steel. When assembled as a tool there is absolutely no slop with the reamer or needle. The handle is pinching them tight.The metal machining is outstanding. Everything from the knurling on the outside to the cut threads and chamfers on the inside are top notch.It's even go just enough extra room to put in a utility knife straight razor blade and a small bottle of plug adhesive if you want.The one weakness is that it is not dust or water tight and dust can get in and gunk up the plugs. But... some electrical tape can fix that.It's an absolutely beautiful design and is well made. It makes me feel bad to actually treat it like a tool and strap it to my dirt bike where it is going to get scratch up and worn.

Perfect solution for under-seat patch kit.

I love this tire plugger. I give them as gifts and keep one in every vehicle. The small size is easy to store. Once you put it together (which only takes a few seconds) it feels sturdy and ergonomic. I have only had to use once so far and it worked perfectly. I highly recommend picking a couple of these up especially if you have a motorcycle.
