I have a massive magnetic pull. Screws and nails leap at the opportunity to imbed themselves in on both of my tires! Plug kit, Aerostich compressor, and problem solved. The nails and screws stay imbedded, making them easy to see. Or, soapy water, poured over a filled up tire. Typically, you are miles from anything, so, take your time! Once you find the puncture, fix it. I usually replace the tire when we get where we are going, or, if none are available, when we get home. The idea of fixing a tire with a Phillips head screw nearly had me, as I thought it was in jest. I hope it was. If not, very scary!
No jest. The screw will not go anywhere. The Fix a Flat seals it tightly. And why would it be very scary. I am not saying everybody should do it, because someone would screw it up and blame me. It works for me, that's all that matters to me. I just shared it.
