Update - unfortunately I got another large cut in the same tire so I didn't want to plug it second time in another spot. At this point I just needed to replace the tire itself. Overall I think these are good if not best for when you're out on the road and need to get a quick fix. I probably rode about 150-200 miles with the tire plugged before the second cut. I did notice the air would escape the plugged tire fairly quickly so needed to pump up the tire before every ride, and probably wouldn't want to risk going too far, say 1-2 hours max.I just recently went tubeless on my road bike. I got the warm thingies to plug tires for my rides as they were super cheap. Unfortunately on my first larger cut, where the sealant wasn't able to take care of it, the warm things just didn't work. I was able to put one in after quite a bit of hassle but taking 50 yard ride the thing jumped right out. i didn't even bother trying to re-do it. Those things just seem very finicky, melty, goey, just a pain. I went to my local bike shop but they said they do not do tubeless plugs because they don't work and wanted me to just buy a new tire ! What ?!?! Anyway, I went back home and ordered these dynaplugs. I got it next day, plugged the tire, took the bike for a few mile ride and all seems good ! Just took it out for a 20 mile and all still seems good. Now, I'm not sure how long it will last but this is so much better than the other crap. This was super easy, the plug went right in, no mess no struggles, easy peasy ! It's worth it for me already just to get out of a pickle while far away from home. If it lasts long enough then it would just be cherry on top. So far it's great, the only drawback it's a bit expensive but for an emergency this appears to be a perfect solution.

Yes this tool is made of plastic, but the glass fill should make it last. The mount on the other hand is way too loose and I don't trust it on its own. I use a long twist tie as well to keep it secure. Dyna plug tools are great although not cheap. But I guess you get what you pay for in this instance and I love to support American companies. I went ahead a got one of the machined offerings as well. Good stuff👍✌️

Much quicker than threading a bacon strip into a needle, which is probably only important when racing (probably why this model is called "racer").I carry this in my back pocket when gravel racing. I had a particularly tough day recently when I tried running a GravelKing SS 33 that was not up to chunder on the Last Best Ride course. As soon as I realized I punctured, I was able to whip this out and place a plug before losing much air. A quick blast from a C02 and I was rolling in less than 90 seconds. I even got to try it out 2 more times before the race was over. All the plugs held for the remainder of the 90 mile race.The only issue I've ever had with these: twice the brass tip has become detached when pulling the tool out, resulting in a wasted plug and making me wish there was a more compact way to carry extra plugs
