You get three of the waxy, brown, ‘threads’ and the small insertion tools to make a repair to a tire that has a hole too big for sealant to handle. It has a tire plug kit built into the tool. The Topeak Tubi 18 not only gives you 18 bits and bobbins packed into a pretty slim multi tool, but adds something unique.
