Every time I read a tire patch thread, I know why I carry a fresh patch kit but also always two new tubes in my under seat pouch. I always use the tubes. Life it too short for patching.

Or you can just buy bulk glueless patch kits

48 kits each with sandpaper and 6 patches = 288 patches for $3.49 or just over a penny a piece......

Did they actually send you the whole box? Looks like it's the price for 1 single kit out of the box

Was the price for whole box! I did local pick up and doubt I will ever have to use glue again.
