A typical tire repair kit will usually include the following tools: Rasp Tool: A rasp tool is used to even out and roughen the edges of the puncture hole once the cause of the puncture has been removed. The tool features a spiralled point attached to a T-shaped handle, making it easy to grip and twist into the hole. A Plugging Tool: As its name suggests, this tool is designed to insert plugs into a tire’s puncture hole. If you’ve ever seen a needle threading device, you’ll be familiar with the plugging tool’s design: it features a needle-like shaft with an eye, through which the plug is threaded. This needle is then inserted into the puncture hole, and as it is pulled out, the plug slides into place and stays behind. Tire repair kits might also include other useful tools, such as: A set of pliers - used to remove the source of the puncture. A pair of gloves - to protect your hands while fixing the tire. A tire pressure gauge - A compact compressor or CO2 canister to inflate the tire
