Safety Seal Kits For Repairing Flat Tires
Mark Newhall, Lakeville, Minn.: "I'm pleased with the quality and ease of use of Safety Seal kits for repairing flat tires (www.safetyseal.com or ph 800 888-9021). You use a small metal tool to ream out the puncture hole where a tire is leaking, and then use another tool to push in a small rubber plug. There's no drying or curing time and you don't use any messy rubber cement. It takes just a minute or so to fix a hole in any size tire. I bought a repair kit last summer that includes both tools and about 60 patches. It's not cheap at $42 (smaller kits are available) but it has a guaranteed shelf life of 6 years, so I just tucked it away in my truck along with a small 12-volt air compressor. When I got a nail in a trailer tire last fall, I had the hole plugged and the tire blown back up in less than 10 min."
