Default Re: Tire changers, do you use the DIY units?

I was watching a video recently about a couple of guys that went out, in recent times in 4wds, looking for the remains of the "Kookaburra" a plane which disappeared here in 1929.

They had to go about 30 k's thru the Tanami Desert (fairly open country, but can be deadly as it all looks the same).

If I remember the figures right, they got 240 punctures going there, and 290 going back.

One of those tyre thingy's might have come in handy...
