I have an ARB kit and yes I've used it many times, mostly on others though. Generally a sidewall tear of some sort. I think I've refilled the plugs three times

I have an ARB kit and never used it. I guess the hazards from mall crawling’ have been greatly exaggerated! Lol!

I carry this Boulder Tools set as my spare was no good so currently not running one. I've yet to use the plugs but I've used the tools within it several times.

Thoughts on glue treads? They seem like a good thing to have.

I just bought this. I’m headed out to Death Valley in a bit, so I figured it’s inexpensive insurance if I get a sidewall puncture.

Some cheap kit off of Amazon with nice aluminum T-handles, some waxy type lube, and like 50 plugs. I used it on an elk hunt to plug my sidewall. Got me the 100 or so miles home at 55mph on the freeway.

Safety Seal was the standard kit before ARB was a thing. I still have my Safety Seal kit from the late 1990's, having renewed the plugs and tube of goo a couple times over the years. If I was getting one now, the ARB 'looks' nicer but also seems to have a larger case.
