Tire repair strips and mushroom nails

The operation methods of these two emergency tire repair tools are very similar. You need to pull out the nail first, then grind the punctured hole, and then insert the tire repair strip or mushroom nail into the hole.

They look similar from the inside. The extra piece of the tire repair strip will, under the action of the tire pressure, play a secondary sealing role covering the internal airtightness of the tire, just like the mushroom head of the mushroom nail. The only difference is that the mushroom head looks better sealed, but their effects are actually almost the same.

Secondly, both methods require grinding the hole, which requires a lot of arm strength. It is almost impossible for ordinary female car owners, or thinner male car owners, to grind the hole well, which will have a great impact on the subsequent tire repair effect, and it is very likely that the tire will leak even after repair.

On the other hand, the piston movement method of grinding holes is not very friendly to cars with larger wheels and thinner tire aspect ratios. It is easy to scratch the inside of the wheel accidentally. Although the impact is not significant, it is very annoying.

Therefore, when using tire repair strips and tire repair mushroom nails, several conditions must be met: 1. It is best to have a set of tire removal and installation tools on your car, otherwise it will be troublesome to repair the rear wheel with these two things; 2. The aspect ratio of your wheel cannot be too small; 3. It is best not to use silent tires, otherwise the tire repair effect will be discounted.
