    i'd be more likely to buy if it was called Mean Mother-in-Law :p

      but that would likely fail when you need it most. eg a sudden brake situation.

  $15, less online. I assume most people already have pliers and a knife. Especially in a 4WD.
  I'd prefer not to have the bulky plastic case.

  These are for quick & bodgy repairs, not supposed to be permanent.

        sorry not cheaper with postage, its 1 dollar more than the supercheap ones… but much cheaper than the OP… i got metal handles because i broke my plastic ones the week before.
        meant the plastic handle ones are about 10 on ebay.

    I am not familiar with these. Now I have to decide how much room have I got for extra stuff

  Have any of you guys actually tried repairing a tire with one of these kits before? It's not as easy as you think it'll be!

    erm, yes it is, i've repaired more than 10, about 7-8 on my bike alone, then a few on the cars. cars are a little harder, just need to use a little muscle.

      A mate of mine has used his a lot. Certainly the one I bent indicated how much force you have to use.

        apparantly you need to feed them in on an angle, think i didnt when i busted my first one… shame it lasted quite a few years too.

        For cars it's really quite hard. You need both strength and technique.

        also make sure the hole you punch is big enough.

  The kit includes "1 x reamer tool" - that's what Harvey Norman use to set their prices with, right? ;-)
