Fix tubeless punctures fast with the DART Tool’s dual-action seal and secure fit
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I carry the DART on every ride—it plugs sidewall cuts that sealant can’t handle, and it works way better than the old bacon strips. Light, compact, and reliable when you need it most."
When we’re deep into a ride and a sidewall slash stops us in our tracks, we want a fix that’s fast, clean, and gets us rolling again without fumbling or hassle. That’s why we stash the Stan’s NoTubes DART Tool on every ride. It’s light enough to forget about until we need it—and when we do, it works like magic.
The DART (Dual Action Repair for Tubeless) Tool uses a unique barbed plastic tip combined with a soft, flexible material that reacts with Stan’s sealant to create a strong, permanent bond inside the tire. No trimming required, no messy strings. With storage for two DARTs inside the handle and a simple push-to-deploy system, this tool gets us rolling again in seconds—even after serious punctures.

Tried and true

There are a lot of negative reviews here, but I have been using these darts for two years on my tires and an occasional friend's when their bacon strip is too small. They work well if you know how and when to use them. I've fixed slightly larger holes that can't seal themselves on my 40mm Conti Terra Speeds and even my 28mm Conti 5000 S/TRs. You have to have plenty of sealant in the tire when you reinflate so it seals around the felt material. I carry a small bottle of Stans with me and a valve stem remover, just in case. A buddy used a bottle the other day when his tire was low on sealant and wouldn't hold air. It does take a lot of time to wear down on its own and you will feel it with each revolution, so I usually clip the material close to the tires when I get home. I sometimes think I should replace the tire, then I kinda forget and just keep riding on them. The plug ends up lasting until I've worn the tire down.

the most useless garbage

went through an entire 5 pack or whatever, not one single one worked, even for a second, the black part just breaks off immediately, in every single one, so all it did was make the hole bigger and doesn't seal anything. Dynaplugs have always been perfect but i've lost two on the trail so I was hoping for a cheaper option. Not this cheap though.

Doesn't work

I've bought two Dart tools and a replenishment kit for my 32mm Continental Gran Prix 5000 road bike tires. This plastic tool has not fixed any of the three punctures I experienced on the road over the last year. =" The Dynaplug repair kit is metal and has worked 100% on the two punctures I needed to repair. This is a more expensive option, but it actually works!

Didn't work for me. Buy something else.

I pressed the tip of the plug through my tire and the rubber part of the plug slid up the stem of the applicator. This happened with both plugs.

Avoid this product - not worth it

I love Stan's no-tubes for preventing punctures. However, when it comes to the Dart Tool, my experience is like others here, I have found on 4 tries now (2 each on two punctures) the little sharp tip penetrates the tire but the patch itself just gets pushed up into the tool and is wasted. Doesn't seem to matter if you enlarge the hole or not. The worst part is how you get to think about how you have relied on this piece of crab while you walk your bike 6 miles back to the car. Back to carrying a spare tube for emergencies. Tom

I actually needed to use this today, and it failed miserably. Apparently my tire was too thick or the hole too small; the plastic arrowhead would not easily fit through the puncture, and applying more force broke the carbon stabber post thing, rendering the whole thing useless. Fortunately a buddy had a good ol' metal fork-type plug with bacon strips, which worked great. I would absolutely not trust this thing to fix a tire to get me home.

I tried 3 times to plus a tire with a small hole and the tip went inside and the rubber wouldn?t. Used a bacon strip and still using the tire. Don?t buy this product

Not what I was hoping for

- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I have a gravel bike with WTB tires that got a cut in the center tread. The stans sealant would not close the hole so I used a bacon strip. As long as I kept the psi low in the tire it got me home. The tires were new so I thought I would buy the Stan's Darts to try and save the tire. I added fresh Stan's sealant to the tire and then tried to insert the dart. The first one I tried failed. The plastic tip inserted in the tire and the plug just pushed up the pin on the tool rendering it useless. I tried a second dart and it did the same thing. I contacted Stan's and they said the hole might not have been large enough for the dart. They replaced the darts under warranty with free shipping. Happy about Stan's customer service, disappointed in the dart.

No go

Had a puncture and watched the how to video. Tip went in but the rubber piece stayed outside the tire. Figured hole was too small, enlarged it and tried again. Same result.
