Stan’s Original DART Tool (TP0043) plugs tubeless punctures that are too big for sealant: the woven DART bonds with latex sealant for a permanent chemical and mechanical seal.
- Two DARTs included, stainless steel insertion rod
- Presta valve core remover in the base
- 15 g — fits any pocket or saddle bag
The Stan’s Original DART Tool (Dual Action Repair for Tubeless) plugs punctures that are too big for sealant to close on its own. Each DART is a woven, laser-cut fabric “feather” treated with a reactive solution: pushed into the hole, it bonds with the liquid latex sealant inside the tyre to form both a chemical and a mechanical seal — a permanent repair rather than a rubber strip that can work loose. The 2025 version adds a stainless steel insertion rod and an improved DART.
A sharp rock at Hatta, a thorn on a desert-edge trail or a shard of glass on a road shoulder can open a cut that sealant just keeps spraying out of. At 15 g with two DARTs, the tool lives in a jersey pocket or saddle bag, and the base doubles as a Presta valve core remover for topping up sealant at the roadside.
Before you buy
- Tubeless tyres with liquid sealant only. The DART reacts with latex-based sealant such as Stan’s — if the sealant has dried up, it cannot bond.
- For punctures larger than about 5 mm. Smaller holes normally seal with sealant alone; top it up instead.
- Two DARTs are included; refills are sold separately by Stan’s — ask us.
- Road and gravel: above about 45 psi, let some air out after inserting so the sealant can pack into the DART.
What makes it work
Laser-cut DART feathers
Woven fabric that conforms to jagged, non-uniform holes and bonds with latex sealant. Do not trim it — the excess wears away as you ride.
Stainless steel rod
The 2025 Original DART Tool uses a stainless steel insertion rod to push the DART straight through the casing.
Presta core remover
Moulded into the base: take the valve core out and top up with a 60 ml or 120 ml bottle of Stan’s sealant.
Pocket-sized
15 g complete with two DARTs. Clear caps keep the DARTs clean and unscrew quickly when you need one.
How to use it
- Find and clear the puncture — remove glass, thorns or other debris.
- Align and push the DART straight into the hole until the plastic body of the tool touches the tread. The barbed tip must pass completely through the casing. Push straight — twisting or side-loading can snap the tip.
- Rotate the wheel to 6 o’clock straight away, so the DART sits in the pool of liquid sealant and the reaction starts.
- Do not trim the excess fabric — it is soft and wears away as you ride. Re-inflate and ride.
If it will not seal: if the hole is too small for the tip, ream it slightly first; if the tyre is completely flat, pinch the tread and pull it outward to give the tool something to push against; for a wide slice, “stack” a second DART right next to the first. After a CO2 top-up, Stan’s recommends letting the CO2 out at home and refilling with floor-pump air, because CO2 shortens the life of liquid latex.
Who it is for
- Mountain bikers on rocky trails such as Hatta and Showka, where cuts are bigger than sealant can handle.
- Gravel and tubeless road riders who want a light, quick fix instead of fitting an emergency tube.
- Anyone running Stan’s or another latex-based tubeless sealant.

Questions people ask
Does it work with any sealant?
It is designed to react with latex-based sealants such as Stan’s. The sealant needs to be fresh and liquid — check and top up every 3–6 months, as Stan’s recommends.
How big a hole can it fix?
It is made for punctures larger than about 5 mm, which sealant alone cannot close. For a wide slice you can insert a second DART beside the first.
Is the repair permanent?
Stan’s says the DART bonds with the sealant to permanently seal the puncture. Keep an eye on the tyre pressure for the next few rides, and replace the tyre if the damage is severe.
Can I use it on a tyre with an inner tube?
No — it is designed for tubeless tyres with liquid sealant. A tube needs a patch or a replacement tube.
Are refill DARTs available?
Yes, Stan’s sells refills separately. Ask us and we will check what we can get for you.
