<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 206811, member: 54"]I'm gonna make another suggestion-our biz gets a lot of nails in the parking lot since a carpet installer has their dumpsters in same lot, I've had to have truck tires patched many times, The service station guy who patches them uses a similar tool to insert a rawhide strip (looks just like the leather wrapped around the tool.). I wouldn't suggest this unless your tool had the leather on it, but it does. Btw one of my Xmas presents to Ms. Spring was a rolling magnet that looks like a small push lawnmower, so she can push that thing along to clear a path thru the lot instead of just getting angry at the carpet people (they could care less and make that clear every time someone's tire gets nailed.) I guess the tool was sold like that, with leather and maybe a set of pliers so you could plug your own tires when needed. I'm going to look for a kit like that, the service station gets $20. For a kid to use that tool on my tire for about 3 minutes.</p><p><br /></p><p>And "dottle" is a new word for me, thanks, I'll start using that vice some of the less dignified terms I now use for waste material expletives.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
