In fairness .... my comments stem from repairs to bike and vehicle tires.

 

 

 

I have not needed to plug a tubeless along the trail.  Seeing the gent struggle at Meerendal without a reamer made me have another look at my toolkit.  Shopped around and looked at kits at most local shops.  Actually bought the "Slug plug" unit, purely due to its small size.  Just could not shake the image of that gent struggling along the trail .... ended up buying the Samori Sword.

TBH is an excellent product and idea, if only they would saamry! slug plug as well, well constructed but the spare plugs are kept somewhere else. The Lynn idea takes the negative out of the others.

 

Personal experience is that I have lost lots of Samurais, touch wood have not had to use my Slugplug yet, but to have the spare plugs within the device is awesome. Well done Lynne

I have probably used a thousand plugs.

Never use the reamer, or glue.

This looks beautifully made, but I usually want to get to the plug ASAP, so screwing attachment is not ideal.

A two sided tool, one small and one big, would be great, holes vary in size.

 I've never lost a Sahmurai sword but I have broken several through hangar rash - bike being tipped over by one of shepards or the kids or  at the coffee shop...maybe even a fall or two.

Storing the plugs is easy, just slide the plugs onto the plugging tool and roll the packing around the tool before sliding it back into the handlebar.

2 days ago I bought the Sahmurai-sword... Now I see this.

Really neat idea.

Couldn't see, but does it come with something to keep debris out where the cartridge screws into?

Like this much more than my purchase 2 days ago.

Nice idea, but pretty useless on the trails.

 

The bomb device could not puncture the seal on the bomb the first time I used it. I eventually had to remove the rubber seal to get it to punch which caused most of the air to blow out when I tried to bomb my tire.

 

The plug tool also did not cover itself in glory as it just made the hole bigger and bigger and not plugging at all.

 

Lots of money for nothing...
