Car Mechanics of Lemmy - Do you have a puncture repair kit that you would recommend?

The kits that use a reamer, rubber cement, and lil gloopy rubber cords are far preferable to a "fix a flat" canned solution, both in effectiveness and in ease of replacement. A pair of pliers and a good utility knife would go along with this stuff well.

I keep a set of box wrenches (suitable for your car, metric or sae), screw drivers, channel locks, a high-vis vest, tire repair kit, tow strap, air compressor, and a pruning saw in the boot spare around the spare tire.

Hope this helps

Taking a wheel off of a car, and you don't have jack stands? You have jack stands and are taking a wheel off as part of your work? Does it involve being under the car? Throw that wheel on the ground under the frame rail / pinch weld. If something horrible happens and the jack kicks, dropping the car on you, it may save your life, and you have to put that wheel somewhere anyway
