Slime 2040-5 deluxe tyre plug kit – 11-piece repair set
Getting a puncture halfway through a job or out on the trail is a proper nuisance. The Slime 2040-5 deluxe reamer plug kit gives you everything you need to carry out a quick, reliable temporary repair on tubeless tyres so the work can carry on — or you can get home without faffing about. It’s not a permanent fix for badly damaged tyres, but for most small punctures it sorts things out neatly and fast.
What’s in the kit?
The kit contains well-chosen tools and materials to make the repair straightforward and long-lasting. The pistol-grip handle on both the reamer and plugger gives better control when preparing the hole and inserting the strings, and the included Plug Bond rubber cement helps form a proper seal.
- One pistol-grip handle reamer for cleaning and enlarging the puncture.
- One pistol-grip handle plugger to push the tyre strings in cleanly and evenly.
- Three heavy-duty tyre strings plus five extra-long tyre strings, so you can tackle different puncture sizes.
- One tube of Slime Plug Bond rubber cement to prep and secure the plug.
why it helps
Simple — it gets you moving again without removing the tyre or calling for a tow. The ergonomic handles cut down on slipping (and the swearing), especially when you’re working in awkward positions, and the mix of string sizes covers most everyday punctures from nails, screws or garden debris. That’s a proper bonus in winter or on a weekend ride.
typical uses
- Fast temporary repairs for tubeless tyres on ATVs, quad bikes and off-road buggies.
- Fixes for garden and utility tyres such as lawn mowers, ride-on mowers and wheelbarrows.
- A handy addition to a vehicle or workshop kit for motorists who like to be self-reliant.
quick how-to
Find and remove the offending object, use the reamer to clean and roughen the hole, coat the string with the rubber cement, then use the plugger to push the string into place. Trim any excess flush with the tread and check tyre pressure before driving. If the damage is on the sidewall or the hole is large, get a professional repair or replacement — this kit is intended for small tread punctures on tubeless tyres.

Some will wonder if this fixes every puncture — it won’t replace a professional plug or patch for large or sidewall damage. But for the vast majority of small tread punctures it’s a practical, easy-to-use solution. Handy to keep in the garage, van or tucked away in a toolbox before you head off-road.
