    The round ones are for an inner tube.

    Anyone remember the Hot Patches for bicycle tubes? You would apply the glue, then set it on fire, then press on the patch. Don't know if it made any difference, but it seemed to work..P.S... More Tiny!!!

      IIRC, there was a hot patch system available for use on truck or tractor tires too. I worked on the KY state highway maintenance crew years ago and remember seeing this kit that had a patch and some kind of clamp with metal cap with something flammable in it to heat it. This was supposed to "vulcanize" the patch, I think. I never saw it used, though.

    Good video but I probably wouldn't refer to any of those kits as heavy duty.

    I plugged my MF135 tractor tire I think it's a 12.4/11-28 in the late 70s and I never had a leak to this day.

    I just patched two tires a few months ago. They are still holding just fine. The hardest part was pushing the rasp through the tread. The tool I used had a T-handle on it and there is no way I could have pushed the one through that has a screwdriver handle. Definitely, get the T-handle.

    Ive plugged tires hundreds of times, never with any problems. Of course not all tire plugs are created equal. I use Safty Seal plugs. They probably have been in business for 50 plus years. Look them up.

    what you said about tubless bike tires is wrong. there are flat repair kits for tubeless bike tires that use miniature bacon strips just like these kits. but tubless bike tires are usually on mountain bikes running at 30psi or less. skinny road bike tires are the ones that can be up to 100 psi but I don't think the roadies have gone tubeless, yet.

    Damn G.M.
    General Motors.
    I lost plenty of money because of the merger with AAA.
    I was making 50 dollars a day plugging holes back in the 90's
    That was my lunch money. Driving a tow truck.
    So, Safety Seal was the best tool to have plugging tires. All the way up to 22.5's
    What was so great back then was a 25 cent plug went for 10.00 and some guys charged 20.00 for a plug at someone's home.
    Damn G.M.
    Now with this tire sensor issue you would be afraid to plug a tire or it would cost you your job.
    But the good old days.....✌️ out.
    Oh yeah them flat patches are good for fixing small leaks on waterbeds in the middle of the night they work well.
