Review on BETOOLL Tire Repair Kit: Set of 44 Plugs for Car, Motorcycle, Jeep, RV, ATV, and More by Joe Jimenez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy to use: my feedback

I am auto mechanic by training and worked in a fleet maintenance at one time. Thus I usually take care of my cars by myself. I have another T handle tool already. Since I have two cars, I bought this one so I do not need to switch between the cars to keep one in each car especially on long trips.I have used this tool to install a plugs few times and found it to be easy to do, in fact it was easier than the other tool I previously had. This tool installs the plug with so little effort I did not even expect. With the other tool I had to lean with all my weight to push the plug in even after cleaning up the hole.The only complaint is about lack of rubber cement. I always use the self vulcanizing cement to install plugs. Rubber cement in the liquid form is very slippery and works well to lubricate the plug during insertion. I am not comfortable using the grease instead of the cement as it does nothing to secure the plug. In fact the description does not even mention if the grease they supply is silicone or petroleum based. Petroleum based grease is not appropriate for rubber parts and may deteriorate the plug over time instead of securing the plug in the puncture.A small tube of rubber cement would be an excellent addition to this set. As a matter of fact I am buying one to be stored in the pouch with this tool set.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • The plugs may not work well on run-flat tires
