Stan's NoTubes Original DART Tubeless Repair Tool — 2-Count with Presta Core Wrench, Woven Plug Repair

Stan's NoTubes Original DART Tubeless Repair Tool is a compact hand tool that installs woven DART plugs to permanently seal punctures and slices larger than sealant can handle.

When tubeless sealant alone can't close a hole, the DART system gives you a rugged, low-profile repair that restores rideability without a new tire or a patch kit. The tool ships with two preloaded DARTs in clear protective caps and includes an integrated Presta core wrench so you can top off sealant or finish the job roadside. Its woven, laser-cut material conforms to irregular puncture shapes and resists extrusion under pressure.

How does the DART repair differ from a plug or patch?

The DART is a purpose-built tubeless insert made from a woven, laser-cut fiber that bonds with sealant and conforms to uneven holes. Unlike a temporary sticky plug, the DART is designed to sit inside the tire and create a durable mechanical and sealant-assisted barrier.

• Woven fiber compresses to fill jagged or irregular punctures.
• DARTs are sized for tubeless beads and won’t migrate like some plugs.
• Works with existing sealant to reinforce the repair.
• Less bulk than some internal patch solutions, preserving tire shape.

How do you use the Stan's DART tool on the trail?

Usage is straightforward: remove the protective cap, thread the DART into the tool, push it through the puncture until the woven material seats, then pull the tool free and trim if needed. The base of the tool contains a molded Presta core tool so you can deflate or refill sealant without carrying extra bits.

• Quick-install action gets you rolling fast after a stop.
• Clear caps keep DARTs clean and make deployment simple.
• Molded Presta core wrench included for sealant access and topping off.
• Sold with two DARTs; extra refills available separately.

What kinds of punctures will it repair, and what are the limits?

The DART handles holes and short slices that sealant alone won't reliably close, especially jagged or irregular cuts. It is not intended for catastrophic tire failure, large gashes that compromise the tire structure, or bead damage that prevents seating.

• Effective on nails, glass, thorns, and small cuts up to moderate length.
• Not a replacement for a tire with major structural damage.
• Best used in combination with tubeless sealant for added sealing strength.
• Keep a spare DART or two for longer rides—refills sold separately.

Who is this for? The Stan's Original DART Tubeless Repair Tool is for mountain bikers, gravel riders, and bikepackers who run tubeless setups and want a compact, dependable way to fix punctures when sealant alone isn't enough. It's designed for riders who prefer lightweight, minimal kits that restore wheel function quickly, include a built-in Presta core wrench, and provide a more permanent repair than temporary plugs. Keep it in a pack, saddlebag, or hip pack for fast roadside fixes and fewer forced walks.
