1 Blackburn Pro Plugger
The Pro Plugger is barely bigger than a lipstick and can be firmly attached to the frame thanks to its practical holder. The sleeve conceals replacement patches and a valve tool. The thick reamer is difficult to insert in conjunction with the small button. The 1.5 millimetre thin patches fail even at the smallest hole. Only an additional plug seals the puncture.

2 Stan's Dart Tool
Lightweight and compact, the Dart Tool fits in even the smallest of pockets. The tool head prevents the patch from being pushed too far into the tyre. The patches react with the sealant in the tyre and plug holes up to five millimetres, but the cut is not completely sealed. Small hooks on the arrows prevent the arrows from tearing out.

Price: 24,95 Euro

3 Sahmurai S.W.O.R.D.
The Sahmurai tool also sits in the handlebar end, although not as firmly as the Twister. The tools sit comfortably in the hand and are quickly ready for use. The reamer cleans the hole, the 3.5 millimetre rubbers seal holes up to six millimetres well. They fail on larger cuts. One small drawback: the plugs are difficult to thread into the fork.

4 DynaPlug Air Kit
The tool is the luxury solution for punctures. The arrowhead makes it easy to position the plugs. If you push the spike all the way in, you can refill the tyre with air at the same time. When pulling out, the tip remains reliably in the tyre. Large holes are only sealed with the thicker mega plugs. Can also be used as a CO2 pump thanks to the hose.

5 Lezyne Tubeless CO2 Blaster
The Lezyne tool repairs and inflates the tyre at the same time and is always ready to hand thanks to its practical holder. Unfortunately, it is a little awkward to use: the thick awl is difficult to insert into small holes and the rubber strip can block the CO2 opening. Thanks to the pull-off aid, the plug stays securely in the hole. All holes were sealed, the cut was not complete.

6 Maxalami Twister 2.0
The lightweight twister is ready for use in the handlebar end. The sturdy tool is easy to handle. You can press the 3.5 mm "racing sausages" securely into the tyre. The plugs reliably seal holes and cuts of up to six millimetres. The Twister is particularly practical in conjunction with the revolver. The replacement plugs are inexpensive - good!
