    Help needed finding this tire repairing tool ..

    Well, after 5 plus years, I finally got the tire tool I've been looking for. Tried it out last night on a old tire and it works like a charm. Pumped tire up to 70 psi and no leaks. My son-in-law and my daughter went on a vacation to Taiwan and brought it back for me.

    Best way to label your tools

    Anybody remember back in the late 50's and early 60"s, it was recommended you you engrave either your drivers license number or social security number on your tools so that if your tools are stolen,they can be returned to you. Such a bad idea today with identity thief and all.
