An important step you missed is that after you insert the plug, before you pull it out you need to turn the tool a 1/2 turn. That way when you pull the tool out it creates a knot on the inside of the tire preventing it from being blown out when you fill the tire with air. Every pack I've bought has this instruction on it.

Tip: Don't get a tire plug kit that's shaped like a screw driver, you have no leverage when pushing the reamer in. Get the T shaped ones.

I've been using these for over 30 years and never had one fail. Plus I've saved a ton of money.

I was taught that at 3, I’m 58 now, however we always had to fix our own tractor & big rig tires since we didn’t even have a home phone & harvested our own crops. Yet things like this liberate one from feeling, so helpless. Thank you for sharing.

You should do a roadside playlist, where you have videos like this and what to do if your battery goes flat etc. Basically a quick help guide.

I'm working on 4 cars constantly for my family and I believe that Chris Fix has the best videos on the internet. A born teacher with the knowledge of a very experienced mechanic. From the new driveway video to the flat tire fix via strut and lower control replacement , heat control repair, over heating diagnosing and on and on . Speaks fast and clearly and no wasted words . He has helped me so much that I should put him on payroll . If only I had a payroll. Thanks Chris Fix

Every actual mechanic or tire guy here will know Chris has the strongest Forearms on the planet, my man reamed it with the plug tool outside with no leverage Jesus Christ that’s impressive.

This is actually perfect timing, Chris.. I finished work today and had a flat tire from a screw! I had an air compressor to fill up the tire to get home in the trunk, and then by the time I get home this video pops up in my feed.. Impeccable timing!

Chris, can you fix the flat in my heart?
-
why do i find this oddly satisfying
-
I’m 17 and I work at an automotive repair shop, and that’s how they fix punctured tires pretty much. Idk it’s just pretty cool to see it in a video lol. Thanks Chrisfix!

Like a Bridge Over Soapy Wooder......

Excellent job. I recently discovered this and I’ve used it multiple times. I timed myself once and it was under 20 minutes. That included removing the wheel and filling the tire to the appropriate pressure and reinstalling on the car. 👍🏽 That was much faster and cheaper than taking it to a tire shop.

Definitely something that everyone should know how to do for when you're in a pinch. Thing to note though, some tire repair shops will not patch a tire later on if they find a plug like that. Company policy is that a plug doesn't do as good of a job as a patch and can cause damage to the integrity of the tire, so then the shop is liable if they patch it and something happens.

I’ve never seen this tool before! Time to add something to the shopping list for when I get a car.

It works permanently if performed correctly. The plug vulcanizes and has been used for generations. Big holes need patch. This works perfectly for most nail holes.
-
straight to the point, i'll always love Chrisfix videos!
-
super important and saves a lot of money because theres always nails and screws everywhere and constantly buying new or used crappy tires is expensive. Thank you for this.
-
That actually works really well. Had a trailer tire I fixed with that and forgot about for a couple years
