A tire repair tool includes a body portion and a cartridge portion. The tool is used to inject an adhesive or glue and a patch into a puncture in a tire, while the tire is still engaged with the wheel, in order to permanently patch a punctured inner tube of the tire. More particularly, a push rod is used to rupture an adhesive pod, elevate an elevator assembly and eject the adhesive and patch through an outlet tube of the tool and into the existing puncture of the outer tire. A patch is affixed over a puncture in the inner tube by the adhesive to permanently patch the inner tube without having to remove the tire from the wheel or rim.

A leak locator, system and method is light-weight, portable, and can be used to locate a leak in a closed environment, including tires, pipes, inflatables and other closed air/fluid filed structures, in situ. The leak locator includes an applicator and a leak locating/detecting liquid. The applicator includes a portion that is moistened and/or saturated by the leak detecting liquid, which portion is used to wipe or brush a film of the liquid onto a surface to be checked. The leak detecting liquid is formulated to cause bubbles to be formed in the film on the surface to be checked as a consequence of air or another fluid escaping from a leak in the surface.
