Review on πŸ”§ Dynaplug Tubeless Tire Repair Tool Kit - Stainless Steel Pro Xtreme - Made in USA: Ultimate SEO-friendly Solution by Samuel Blakeley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works damn well. Definitely recommend.

This tool was extremely easy to use. Supplied with a pack of additional connectors along with 3 already pre-installed in the tool itself. I plugged the tire, filled it with air again and drove for a few minutes. When I came back the tire pressure was 1-2psi lower. With some soap and water I found that the small leak was still there. I didn't want to put in a second plug so I decided to just leave it on and check the pressure again in the morning. I went to the garage today and found the pressure had dropped from 38psi to about 29psi. I thought it was ok. It's a pretty slow leak and I've already driven home with a much worse leak. Filled my air to just under 38psi and drove to work (about a 45 minute drive). Checked the air pressure and it's hovering around 40psi. This was good news for me as it indicated that the leak was either so small that it wasn't having much of an effect, or that the small leaks might have corrected themselves overnight after the gunk settled on the plugs. Air pressure back up (about 2 hours passed) and it was about 37psi (tire is cold now). Overall I would say this tool successfully sealed the puncture and while it didn't seal it 100% it would be more than enough to get you home in an emergency. Will update again today when I get home from work. BENEFITS --------- Small and light tool Well designed Easy to use (fixed my apartment in less than 5 minutes) Able to use up to 4 plugs in one stitch. -------The hole cannot be 100% closed, although you can use up to 4 plugs in the same puncture. The gasket material is slightly smaller in diameter, so it may not completely seal the leak. UPDATE 22.07. 2015 I patched a tire last Sunday and it looks like the leak has gotten worse. My barometric pressure is much lower at the end of the day than it was on Monday. However, as it turned out, the problem is not in the tool, but in the fact that I did not have time to finish the job. The screw that punctured my tire was slightly smaller than the diameter of a plug. So there was a very small leak. Today I decided to redo a fix where I had to push the 1st connector all the way through. The reason is that I had already cut off the end of the 1st connector which meant I had nothing else to hold on to when I plugged in the 2nd connector. This is normal though, as Dynaplug support has told me that the brass tip is self-lubricating and non-abrasive. After installing a new connector, I again noticed that there was a small leak. I then held the end of the fork as I inserted the second. As soon as I pulled the tool out, the air intake noise stopped immediately. I applied soap and water and found ZERO leaks. Take the bike to the nearest gas station and retrieve my tire at 40psi (it was sitting at 30psi). Went back to the office and reapplied soap and water to ensure there were no leaks before trimming the tails. So far, so good! I should have done this from the start as it would have saved me the headache of having to keep refilling air for the last 2 days. With this new knowledge of how to use plugs properly, I'm changing my rating to a solid 5 stars. Thanks Dynaplug UPDATE 07/23/2015 Looks like it worked! There were still no leaks and the tire pressure was exactly the same as the day before. I highly recommend this tool!
