Puncture repair Kit

Hi Rick, last year on our way back from Darwin we got a flat tyre not far from the Roper River on one of our Wrangler AT/R's and fixed it with our $13 repair kit I brought at Super Cheap Auto's. I did not get it fixed untill we got home, did about 3000 k. So I believe you do not have to spend a lot of money on these kits.
Cheers Bruce.

Rick, I think whatever kit you go for, you'll need the tubeless hole repair ropes (tarry rope stuff) and the insert tool, as well as the standard patches for both inside of tyre carcasses and tubes if fitted.

Try looking for info on "Tyreplier Puncture Repair Kit" and / or "Safety Seal Tyre Repair Kit" to get you started.

Rick,
I have a kit I bought from ARB about three years ago. Repaired three tyres last time I was away. Two on the Gibb River Road and one in Alice Springs (nail). They were highway tyres and I never did get them repaired professionally. Swapped to BF Goodrich not long after I came home.

The last two pubctures I repaired on the car without taking the wheels off. A little bit of soapy water with my compressor connected and no problems.

Can't help with comparison but I don't think cost comes into it when you're in the middle of nowhere in 45 Degree heat, with the dust and flies.

Still a firm believer in that "you get what you pay for".

Which ever you choose my recommendation is "don't leave home witout one"

PS also thoroughly recommed those 12V DC impact wrenches. Make changeing wheels real easy.

Rick, just a word of caution. I recommend you choose a kit/set that has steel handled rasp and insertion tools. The plastic handled ones have been known to break. The resultant injury - a steel shaft piercing the hand - isn't really what you want in the middle of no-where, with a tyre still to repair.

The slightly higher purchase price is cheap insurance.

I have the complete Tyrepliers kit, although just their Punture Repair kit is excellent value.

Very easy to obtain extra top up items for a reasonable price too, with the carded refill packs.

If you are going to be spending much time in the bush you need a complete tyre repair kit.
I bought the R&R Beadbreaker kit because it is easier than tyre pliers to operate as we get older, as its one of those items you only buy once.
It has everything and allows you to fit internal patches or change a tyre etc. if need be.
I use it for work repaiirng all my own flats on my work vehicles and trailers and I have more than half paid for it in 12 months.

'Camel' make a good allround repair kit available at Repco. (patches, glue, tubeless repair, valves etc) I just added a couple of sidewall patches from the local tyre joint. Cheers, Craig..............................

Guys,
Tyreweld will save your butt 90% of the time. $20 a can no removal, use the left overs on the kid bikes. Very good value

I bought the full Tyrepliers kit AFTER getting 7 flats along Gibb River Rd but I've never used it (except once to test in the comfort of my own home). I swear by the glue & rope kits that I became very proficient at. The Tyrepliers run out to about $295- but you can have mine for around $195- if your interested.
