Can´t find where (which) I bought it now... and I am too lazy to undo my roll-bag to have a look, but these are the plugs I use.

I've never seen that kind before, the ones I was thinking about are for cars and trucks, kind of like a rope you push in the hole and then cut off the excess.
These are the ones I have used since 1976, they work great.:2thumbs: NAPA has them with the gun also

Nuke, that's the exact same one I have been using for almost 40 yrs, but I do rasp the hole first and then use volcanizing cement which melts the tire rubber and plug together for a permanent fix. They also come in different sizes, 1/4 and 3/8 diameter.:2thumbs:

That´s the one I posted befor.e.. "Stop & Go" and it has a small compressor too!

It fits very well in the small Roll-Bag on my frame. :2thumbs:

That's a nice kit Franco with the small compressor, is that L shape wrench for turning the tool to push the plug out?

Not sure what it is.... but I used a drop of Loctite Super Glue (before cutting the plug out) in there and it has been 8 months now without any leaks! :2thumbs:

Vulcanizing Cement-Special Cement BL creates a nearly indestructible bond between tire and repair unit.

Its kinda the same thing as the super glue, it melts the rubber together.
