Slime 20502-51 drill bit tyre plug kit – quick, drill-powered repairs
When you need a tyre plug and you haven’t got all day, this Slime 9-piece kit makes life a whole lot easier. The idea’s straightforward: let your drill do the graft. No more wrestling with awkward hand tools or faffing under the wheel arch — many repairs can be completed with the wheel still on the car, so you can be back on the road in no time.
what’s in the kit
The kit contains a high-strength reamer drill bit, a plugger drill bit, five brown 7-ply tyre plugs (odourless), 0.41 fl oz of Plug Bond (~12 ml) and a neat little carry case. Everything has its place, so you’re not rummaging around in the boot when you need it most.
why this kit helps
If you’ve picked up a nail or a shard of metal in the tread, this kit sorts the immediate problem quickly. The reamer tidies and prepares the hole, the plugger pushes the plug in cleanly, and the Plug Bond helps the plug bed in for a better seal. It works with any standard drill — including impact drills — so the tools you already have in the garage will usually do the trick.
- Rapid roadside repairs to get you moving again without the stress of calling a tow truck.
- Durable 7-ply plugs that give a longer-lasting temporary fix while you arrange a proper service.
- Hardened steel bits built to take repeated use — they won’t blunt or bend on the first job.
- Compact case that stows neatly in the boot or glovebox — no more loose bits rolling about.
technical bits and practical notes
Product dimensions are roughly 13.97 x 2.7 x 22.7 cm and the kit weighs about 150 g, so it’s genuinely portable. The supplied Plug Bond is 0.41 fl oz (~12 ml) — enough for seating the plugs for typical punctures, but for larger jobs or a professional patch you should still pop into a tyre shop. This kit is intended for tread-area punctures only; never try to plug sidewall damage or very large gashes — that’s unsafe.
use cases
- During your commute when a slow puncture appears — a quick fix to get you home or to a garage.
- On tour or away from civilisation when there isn’t a local tyre shop nearby.
- As an emergency staple in a van, classic car or daily driver — great for peace of mind on long runs.
Some folks ask if it’ll work on completely flat tyres or massive tears — best to inspect the tyre first. For routine punctures in the tread, this kit is a straightforward, no-nonsense option. No more faffing with awkward hand tools — just a drill, a steady hand and you’re sorted.
