Car Mechanics of Lemmy - Do you have a puncture repair kit that you would recommend? (self.asklemmy)

Hi,

I already have a good tool kit, drill, needle files etc, so I'm mainly looking for a kit that doesn't needlessly double up on tools that I already have but I'm here for your advice so I'll look at anything you recommend.

Ideally the kit would have enough bits and pieces that I could store it and keep it for future punctures also, but I could just order a multiple of single use kits if that is what you'd recommend.

Please let me know! Thanks.

The kits that use a reamer, rubber cement, and lil gloopy rubber cords are far preferable to a “fix a flat” canned solution, both in effectiveness and in ease of replacement. A pair of pliers and a good utility knife would go along with this stuff well.

Another mechanic here, 100% agree. These things work really well.
