ARI Airplugger, A Compact Tire Repair Kit, Silver, One Size

Ok so this is a little self contained tire plug kit. I got it open looked, good enough. It was easy to use, it is tiny, worked. And it didn't break on the first use. I paid next to nothing for this and it is worth 2x what I paid. Quick story: I was riding around today, and saw a motorcycle on the side of the road. I generally stop - yeah I know generally a bad idea but a biker is a biker (I would hope some one would save my butt if it ever happens to me). It was a young guy on a 500cc Honda adv bike. Flat rear tire, oof, I have my if stuff happens back pack with this little gem in it, find what looks to be the leak, ream it out, toss a plug in, his dad had an air compressor. Got the dude back on the road in a 10 minutes after a quick ride around the parking lot. Super good enough, I would suggest getting one if you are on the fence.

This is by far the smallest plugger that I've seen online, so it was nice to have in my motorcycle saddlebags for a just in case item. I got a nail in my rear tire on my commute which led to a slow leak. Luckily I was able to use this and plug up my tire at my work's garage. The ream worked well, but the plugging was more difficult to use. The plug is incredibly thick, and there's no description on it so I don't know if this is the one that's meant to be used with rubber cement, and it's hard to tell about the quality of the plugs. When plugging the tire, I had to push super hard, and I always had the fear that the shaft of the plugger would go through the end and stab my hand. That didn't happen of course, but the design of it definitely gives that fear. Since the kit has space inside, I would put gloves, single use rubber cement tubes, and replace the plugs with some higher quality ones. These are all small nitpicks. Overall, the product is nice and priced well.

I haven’t needed to use this, but it feels like a quality product. It’s small and fits nicely in the emergency toolkits I’m assembling for our street bikes. I’m using the Thule Subterra Powershuttle Mini bag to store this tire plugger, a Pro Tools CO2 inflator, six 16g CO2 Cartridges, a small tube of Slime 1051 Rubber Cement, and a CruzTool OM14 Metric folding Multi-Tool. This setup provides a compact kit that fits under seats. Hopefully, I never have to use it, but confident it will be helpful in an emergency roadside tire repair scenario.

Very nicely designed tool. Compact with no sharp points to harm your other gear. Seems to be made well leaning towards light weight. The aluminum tube appears thick enough to work. The reamer and theading tool seem strong enough as long as you're careful during use. I am sure it can be bent or hit hard enough to dislodge it from the slot. I have not used this tool on my motorcycle yet. It should work, and I will be carrying it going forward. Leaving off one star until I have used it. But assume it will eventually get the 5th star. I have logged about 250,000mi on three bikes over 20 years. I have plugged 4 flats on my bikes, and a couple of other bikes during that time. This type of tool is not used all that frequently, but hopefully always on the bike. So storage is key, and this tool delivers.

Perfect for motorcycle trail tool kit!

Compact but sturdy design.

The thing is great for carrying on my bike instead of the bulky slime one in my car.not that I mind silver but do wish they had other colors but that's just me finding something to complain about.will be buying some for my sons.

I have not used it yet and hope to never have to. I was surprised when I held this in my hand. It has a surprising heft for its size and given that the handle/case is aluminum. You could probably drive over it with a pickup truck and do nothing but scratch it up. I measured the wall thickness and it was 2.75 mm (7/64 inch). Total weight is 106 grams (3.7 oz) with the 5 included plugs and 90 grams (3.2 oz) without the plugs. The reamer and the plug needle are made of chromed steel. When assembled as a tool there is absolutely no slop with the reamer or needle. The handle is pinching them tight. The metal machining is outstanding. Everything from the knurling on the outside to the cut threads and chamfers on the inside are top notch. It's even go just enough extra room to put in a utility knife straight razor blade and a small bottle of plug adhesive if you want. The one weakness is that it is not dust or water tight and dust can get in and gunk up the plugs. But... some electrical tape can fix that. It's an absolutely beautiful design and is well made. It makes me feel bad to actually treat it like a tool and strap it to my dirt bike where it is going to get scratch up and worn.

Good and really handy and the size small can fit anywhere but it is sturdy steel so when assembled it is easy to work with.

I bought this on a whim before doing a 3000km trip. My buddy got a puncture in his rear tire coming off a gravel mining road near Hyder, Alaska, and we got the tire plugged in 20 minutes with this kit. The plug lasted a couple hours before we had to ream it out and replug it (I don't think we pushed it in far enough, see photo). The second plug carried us all day until we got back to civilization and were able to install a replacement tire. It would have been a very different trip, and much more expensive, if we didn't have this plug kit. The thing is small, easy to fit under the seat of many bikes. The cylinder acts as the handle for the included reaming and plug-jamming rods. Pretty clever and it works well. It feels very solid, and was easy to work with. It wasn't difficult to get the plug "threaded" through the end of the plug-jamming rod. For mine, I cut the instructions off the packaging and stuffed them into the cylinder around the two rods, inside the roll of gummy worm things. A great improvement for the next version would be to include instructions on the cylinder, but there isn't much to remember after you've done this once. Carry nitrile gloves on your bike too, these plugs are extremely gummy, as you'd expect. Anyway, easy product to recommend.

Brilliant kit very strong reamer and insertion spike. Excellent size and quality, assembles securely and feels like pro grade tool. Ropes are good but recommend purchasing rubber cement (tyre patching glue) to assist in both insertion and sealing of repair. Don't forget to add a pair of side cutters/pliers for pulling foreign object and cutting the excess repair plug.

Bem feito porém ainda não testei na pratica

saw this recommended on a bike channel and seemed a great idea so ordered. Received quickly and very nice soild bit of kit I hope I never need!
