Can anyone tell me where i can buy a dog t**d tool that splits in two,so it's not a 'T' shape to avoid it stabbing you when you fall off.Have seen them but can't find them .

I tape a box spanner on to mine, for that reason. Probably not the lightest solution, but stops the punctured lung. Hate that

A mate of mine speared his back during the White Rose, it was a terrible experience. However no one got a puncture so it turned out okay.

I've got a DT tool with a removable needle that came in a road type kit for use with red rubber type sealing wedges. The handle has a screw on end cap and you simply remove the needle and pop it inside the handle. More compact and 100% safe. The wedge type inserts are useless but the tool is correct for DT's. Problem solved.

I have put a rubber cork on the tip of mine.

I have a pair of those, they look like screwdrivers. One is the rasp, the other is the plug tool. I glued a piece of nylon tubing to side of each one, then the points slide into thte tubing of the other one, so they sort of nest together.

I think I got them at NAPA store, maybe 5 years ago.

I will dig them out of the trailer and get some pics and see if there is a brand name on them.

The normal T shape is hard in a fanny pack, with or without plugson the sharp ends.

Barring that, you might break off the plastic T handles then tack weld the tool part to a piece of rod or an old cheap (soft metal) screwdriver.

Super dandy great but you still havent answered the question........WHERE DID YOU GET IT FROM?????????????

Pics attached.

One shows the tools apart, one with them nested for storage.Two tire pumps I got at Rec Equipment (REI) camping store. One is folding handle, other has two settings: high volume/low pressure, and high pressure/low volume. Both very slow, but they do work. I have another one that takes a C02 cartridge, plus works as a manual pump. Works better and faster.

and No, I don't know where I got these tools either. I think NAPA, they do say Made in USA, but no brand name.
