He was one of the best, Airborne, proud to serve his country and fight its toughest war--in the hell that was Vietnam.

Known to all as "Fitz," Signal Corps officer David Fitz-Enz served two tours in Vietnam. He was a soldier, combat photographer, and platoon leader, fighting America's cruelest war--from the VC-infested rice paddies of the Mekong Delta to the dreaded Ia Drang Valley, where the enemy ruled the night.

Dispensing with traditional, sluggish chains of command, the Signal Corps developed a rapid-response system based on greater flexibility, cutting-edge communications technology, and interdependence between the branches of the military during the war. Now commanders in the field were able to call in artillery, air strikes, and reinforcements at a moment's notice. Fitz-Enz himself orchestrated the first-ever hook up over tactical systems between the President in the Oval Office and a general in the Vietnam jungle. The only book of its kind, WHY A SOLDIER? gives us the inside view of the Corps as it launched an exciting new era in strategic and tactical communications that set the groundwork for all future military operations.

Amazing
This was an amazing kit, I recent got a hug nail in my tire and wanted to save money. The directions are super easy to follow and actually doing the job was a breeze. I’m no mechanic so I fully recommend this product. Definitely cut down the unwanted rubber at the end.

Great Kit
This is a really nice tire repair kit. It contains all the parts you will need to fix a flat caused by a nail or screw. I would also recomend everyone keep a tire inflator in your vehicle. The kit is very compact and takes up very little room in the trunk.

Apparently I’m a magnet for screws, this kit has saved me a lot of money
Apparently I’m a magnet for screws, this kit has saved me a lot of money I drive a lot and somehow I manage to find every screw and nail on the road. At this point I’m convinced my tires have some kind of magnetic attraction to them. Because of that this tire plug kit has actually saved me a lot of money. Instead of constantly going to a shop every time I pick up a screw, I can just plug the tire and get back on the road. The tools in the kit feel solid and it comes with everything you need to do a basic tire plug. I’ve used it a few times already and it works exactly how it should. The plugs hold well and the kit is easy to keep in the trunk so it’s there when you need it. If you drive a lot like I do, it’s honestly just a good thing to have in the car.

Excellent kit. Does what it's made for! Bought the hard case kit for my garage, and a soft case kit for the car. Patched a hole in my motorcycle tire with no problems. Quick, reliable, and easy to do.

Good value for price
Size: 67pcs
Great mid price plug kit, as a professional mechanic these are good for temporary fixes to get you by till a proper patch can be done. The tools are not super cheap and seem to be high enough quality to hold up.
