That's right... it makes a mess of everything.

If you're me you swear a lot, wobble around trying to get metal pointy thing plus plug back into the hole, accidently stand on the glue tube, shed a tear and eventually manage to rip the ist plug in half. For the second attempt you go and get something with knee armour and make use of all the donuts you had for lunch by kneeling against the thing and getting your weight behind it.
It isn't so hard. Awl first to clean and size the hole. Loop stringy thing through the hook, push through without twisting, back the hook a little, rotate 90 degrees and ease out gently. About a minutes work. I do them with the tyre inflated with whatever air is left.

If all else fails RTM! :)

Aha but that be a "Stringy" thing - not a Pluggy thing.....

Edit: TBH after p1ssin about on attempt 1 for 30mins - attempt 2 took about 7.

Daylight would have helped.

I'd rather walk to Chas Bikes & get Crafty Plugger for £15 inc tools (although use Rep & Air tools +1)
