ARI AirPlugger Tubeless Tire Repair Tool @MotoPumps - Awesome tool AT A GREAT PRICE!

The AirPlugger is compact, lightweight, strong, versatile and all the tools fit inside the handle.

Sticky strings, reamer and insertion needle.

Over my riding career, I have gotten plenty of flat tires which lead to the creation of MotoPumps® back in 2005. Having the right tools along on the bike to deal with any eventuality is one of my rules. This leads to a bloated tool kit that is large and heavy. Reducing the weight and bulk of that kit has become a bit of an obsession.

I love the Dynaplug tire plugging tools, and have carried one for about 12 years. They are compact, lightweight and easy to use.

Aside from price ($22 to $85), their shortcoming is that the plugs are small and sometimes a single plug does not fix a larger puncture. I had three plugs in one puncture and while it didn't seal perfectly, it did get me home. After dealing with that a few times I added a traditional sticky string/bacon strip repair kit to my tools for larger punctures. The shape of the Dynaplug handle also makes the tool harder to use than the T-Handled tire pluggers on the market. The trade-off is that the T-Handle tools are large and often heavy.

About a year ago I found the Fri Concepts AirPlugger and bought one to test. (It is now called the ARI AirPlugger)

5" overall height
1" diameter

Machined aluminum case that stores the tools inside and turns into a handle. Nice design.
