Description
T Handle Tire Plug Tool for Pushing String Plugs Through the Casing
Product Overview
A string plug has to go through the casing and stay put when the tool comes out. This tire plug insertion tool does both. Palm pressure on the die-cast T-handle drives the push. The split-eye needle, an eye open at the tip, carries the cemented plug in and releases it on withdrawal, so the plug stays in the tire.
Fit and Function
- Crossbar under the palm. The T-handle tire plug tool is pushed from directly above the shaft, with body weight behind it.
- Replaceable tire plug needle. The handle takes a 5-1/2" passenger needle or a 7" truck needle.
- One tool in a three-step repair. Open the hole with the pistol grip probe rasp, coat the plug with tire repair cement, then push it home with this tire plug insertion tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you insert a tire plug?
With a tire plug insertion tool. Thread the string plug through the split eye needle, push the tool into the reamed hole, and pull the handle straight back. Follow the plug maker's instructions for cement and trimming.
What tool do you use to plug a tire?
A tire plug tool: a handle on a needle with an eye that carries the plug. A T-handle version gives a straight push from above, and a tire repair needle with a split eye releases the plug without a second tool.
Are you supposed to twist tire plugs?
No. Push the tool straight in and pull it straight back out on the same line. If the tire plug tool won't go in, stop and ream the hole to size with the probe rasp first.
What is a split eye needle?
A split eye needle is a tire plug insertion needle whose eye is open at the tip. The string plug sits in the eye during the push, and because the eye is open, the needle pulls back out of the tire while the plug stays in the puncture.
