Review on πŸ”§ TOOLUXE 50002L Universal Heavy Duty Tire Repair Kit | 35 Piece Set | Puncture Repair and Flat Plug | Automotive | Ideal for Car, Truck, Motorcycle, ATV Tires by Brian Nicholas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

GREAT quality for the price. Although it's not a snap-on, it costs 1/5 more.

I give this product 5 stars because it is a very good tire repair tool kit for the price. Of course there is better quality that I rely on as an automotive professional but the cost is almost 500% higher. I bought this as part of my travel kit as I travel a lot as my sons both go to different schools a few hours from home. Having a well made, solidly constructed tire plug kit that works very well (especially for the price) is a smart move. I hook this up to a small 12 volt cigarette lighter compressor. Barring a big puncture in a tire or sidewall damage, I KNOW I can be back on the road in a few minutes. I had to use this tool today for a friend who was driving 2 nails into his tire. I had to pull over at the edge of a busy freeway because his spare tire holder got stuck and no one could use the spare tire. His Excursion has D-rated tires (6-ply tires) as he tows this truck a lot and I was impressed by how well the rasp worked, not only penetrating the tire tread but effectively expanding it. The connector insertion tool has also proven to be just as sturdy as my snap-on tool that I use in my shop almost every day. The forks look and 'feel' the same as the Camel brand forks which have been the industry standard for over 30 years since I've been in this field. I highly recommend this kit to anyone looking to add it to their "road tool kit" for their car(s). The quality is such that I'm sure I won't have to worry about the rasp or inserter breaking off like every other inexpensive brand I've tried. Can't comment on how well or how long it will hold up with frequent professional use. But I believe that after today's use it will work well for all but the most demanding tire repairs.
