Stop & Go 1075 Standard Model Tire Plugging Tool

IvesIves: Great and easy product to use to get you back on the road without having to remove tire and wheel. I had a slow leak resulting from a fairly large sized screw that was in my tire.
Located screw and pulled out with pliers. Followed directions on the kit. Only thing you have to have on the road with you is a tire inflator so you can air the tire back up or find a place that still has air for tires.

Carmen Madison: I buy my son plenty of tools because they are what he wants. This is a good buy and has plenty of materials to repair tires. I couldn’t pass this one.

Magesh Ranganathan: Used it on 3 tires - my mechanic advised me to buy it - my first repair was under his watchful eye - thank him for that

Has paid for itself 3 ti es over - have loaned it to many friends and carry it for the group on team rides

No besides we purchase ( you will appreciate it more if you are in tire hell like I was a year ago)

David: Accurate description

Spic and Span: I love the case, it houses everything. I am 68 years old. This is not for old folks. I bruised two finger veins trying to get this to go in and finally figured out it doesn't work on slanted punctures. Duh. If it had been a straight in puncture I don't think I would have had so much trouble. I caught up a 3.5 in spike nail on a slant.
Wound up having to get the strings, so far my tire is holding air. I thought it a bit overpriced for what I got so I do not consider it a value product. But if it works on a straight in puncture it'll more than likely pay for itself and then some. Beats getting a new tire. Caution: put the patches in a separate double baggie so they don't dry out.(They have to be oiled with whatever they came with) If your having trouble after following directions; CAREFULLY use a long handled (fireplace) lighter just to heat the insertion tube that goes into the puncture, it helps it to go in. And if you get stuck one of those patches in the tube (the more you try to push it in, the dryer the rubber gets and the more stuck it becomes.) Use a little heat, not too much, doesn't take much heat to push it out with the awl it came with. Be careful to position your...

nlitend1: Used to repair right on the edge of the tread on our 17 Ford Edge with 19" rims.
Tire shops don't like or refuse to repair a tire unless the hole is with in the tread area. Our tire got a screw just on the side of the tread. A refusal was in our future. I had a tire plugged on my truck 2 weeks ago, cost $38 to have it fixed.
Decided to give this a try. And it worked. First plug I tried did not insert because I have wiped away the lube on the end of plug trying to insert into tool with my finger. My mistake. Used the insert tool to push it into the plunger as said by instructions. Duh. You must have the lube! Lesson learned. Anyways I followed the instructions and had our tire fixed in less than 5 minutes. Well worth the cost of this kit. It's paid for with 2 flat fixes, saved us buying a new tire. Tested for leaks. None.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND. So easy to use.

Sparky John: I bought one 10 years ago and I am still using it. This year I bought a second car so I bought a second kit.

You need to add a pair of pliers for pulling the nail/screw out from the tire.

I also added a 4.5 mm hand drill for enlarging the hole as the nozzle is made of mild steel, too soft. The reamer supplied is too small and painful to use. If you wiggle the nozzle in too hard, the nozzle can be damaged. Especially for RunFlat Tire, the tire wall is hard and thick, there are steel wires sandwiched in the rubber, it's very hard to get the nozzle in. Having said that the slightly damaged nozzle from the first kit is still working after I polished it and started using hole enlarging tool.

If the manufacturer can make the nozzle with harder materials and the reamer slightly larger with a bigger handle, the kit will be perfect.

I used the second kit and found it could not squeeze the mushroom plug out. After comparing with the 1st kit, I have discovered that the 2nd nozzle inside has a smaller size. Make sure you check your kit on arrival to see you are able to squeeze out a mushroom plug otherwise you may get stranded on the roadside by this kit.

david mennell: i haven't used it yet... thank god. but the kit seems very solid and i can see no reason why it wouldn't work great. the gun feels very sturdy... like a sherman tank i have use the manual tire plugs and nothing could be worse than that.

Techie-Daddy - All Real and Honest Reviews: I am one of those people whose tires seem to be screw and nail magnets. This is a Huge Improvement upon the old Rasp/Awl/String Plug System. I was using the Victor Tire Repair Kit - Heavy Duty with T-Handle and Strips to fix my tires for a couple of years now. While they were supposed to be temporary (mostly likely deemed temporary for liability reasons), I had all my repairs outlast the life of the tire. Forget the $25 Plug, Patch and Balance at your local tire shop whenever you get a nail. I've used to have my tires "professionally" repaired until I needed one re-done.

This Gun/Plug Mushroom design is much easier to use and doesn't require you to make the hole much bigger, unlike the old style plug and cord systems. Make sure you watch the videos on Youtube which clearly show how easy it works. This will pay for itself in two repairs and coupled with a heavy duty portable air compressor like the Viair 88P, you'll never worry about being stranded hundreds of kilometers with only the dinky spare tire.

Comes in a nice padded heavy duty plastic storage container. This is built to last for years to come.

Leslie Dane Hanna: This thing is every bit as easy to use as the description states. I bought it several months ago and luckily have only had to use it once. I had a nail in my motorcycle tire. I removed the nail and followed the instructions for this devise. So far, I have gone more than six months without having to put anymore air in the tire.

A few notes:

If you research this device you will read many mixed reviews on whether or not to use it for long term fixes. Ideally, you should only use this for short term fixes, until you can replace the tire (especially motorcycle tires). There is a possibility of tire failure due to damage to the belts used to hold the tire together. I agree that the safest thing to do is to replace the tire once you get to your destination, and if that is what you buy this product for, that alone would make it worth the price. However, most of us can't afford to pay $250 plus for a new motorcycle tire (parts and labor depending on which shop you use) every time we get a nail. I acknowledge to possibility that using this as a permanent fix COULD result in tire failure, but I was unable to find anyone reviewing this product that experienced (first hand) a...
