had a flat yesterday and one of the guys puss this out. look at it baffled wondering what to do with. asked how you use it. no one knew. was easy to patch. easier than normal cords. now i want to buy a few spares to keep in my all my vehicles.
As with all of these, the hard part is inserting into a flat tire (which they conveniently avoided in the video). This one looks like it may go in easier that the typical fork and gooey cord.The dynaplug looks interesting, the part of the brass plug at the end staying in the tire is odd, I would hate for that brass plug to come off and just ping around all over the inside of the rim, i'm sure it's not heavy brass, though maybe it can off balance the tire too. The sticky ropes work fine, not sure what these solve other than a fancy handle and application method
It's only better if you are the one selling them.As with all of these, the hard part is inserting into a flat tire (which they conveniently avoided in the video). This one looks like it may go in easier that the typical fork and gooey cord.
I'm with the rest, the packaging looks cool but I want some steak with the sizzle. Where did the tip go? How much are refills? What make the rubber stay in when retracting the tool? What about an ugly shaped hole (staple, puncture on an angle etc)?
I use the cords. They work almost perfectly. A few years ago, I got a giant screw right at the edge of the sidewall and tread on a car tire with 100 km on it. The screw cocked over and left a jagged hole No way to get a mushroom there, any tire place would have scrapped it. I plugged it with a cord and it lasted about a season before it began to leak again. Pushed the cord in, scuffed the hole, heated a new cord with a torch to get it nice and gooey and shoved that in. It's still holding with no issues. I just don't see how reinventing the wheel can be better.
BMW came with a tire plug repair kit and 2 co2 cylinders.

For some people, that's whats wrong. There is no wank factor to some stinky rubber strips and a made in china plastic handle.What's wrong with a regular Canadian Tire plug kit? Cheap, effective.
The ropes can be a *****. I have had really good success using a T handle (not the L) and a ratchet strap around the tire.Small storage size?
No mess?
Ease of use (in terms of time, effort, strength and skill level required)?
Higher potential to not have to remove the wheel to get enough leverage when installing the plug?
From experience, it can be a real
b!tch to get the plug in without wrecking the odd one, even after cleaning up the hole with the included rasp in the Cdn Tire kit...and if it’s your last plug and you mess it up you’re SOL.
