What I could find at the local NAPA and Amazon. I want to improve that part of my tire repair skills and instruction.@WashingtonTaco what patches are you carrying?
Pro-Tip = cordless drill
I used to own a grading company and we also did a lot of bobcat work. Having 10 or 15 trucks and trailers rolling through construction sites every day will get you pretty good at plugging tires. Those T-handled reamers are OK if that's all you have, but if you need to get a plug or two in load range E tire or a stubborn radial, a cordless drill will clean the puncture up into a nice clean round hole that's a lot easier to plug. You'll still want a hammer sometimes to bang it in, but I probably put a hundred of 'em in that way and never had to do one twice.
What do you carry for tire repair? Mine is a hybrid ARB/Colby/Safety Seal/home brew.

What pouch is that Dave?
I came across this kit from Powertank and really like it. It includes everything the ARB Kit did but folds up into a much smaller package.
That's my only complaint with the ARB kit. That molded plastic case is cool, but it's bulky and there is sssooo much wasted space.
I had used the ARB kit for years with great success. I probably plugged at least ten tires with it, mine and others. I have been meaning to replace the kit as I was running out of plugs and wanted to just give it a good refresh. I came across this kit from Powertank and really like it. It includes everything the ARB Kit did but folds up into a much smaller package.

My life has been infinitely better since I gave myself permission to be free of blow-molded plastic cases.
...plugs that are too think for most nail or screw holes. I addressed the issue here.
