Description
Overview:
The Tyre Buffing Stone (Golf Ball Type) is a spherical rubber-rasp tool for preparing tyre and inner tube surfaces before repair. It uses a bonded abrasive head to roughen rubber cleanly and evenly, helping patches and plugs bond securely with vulcanising cement. The compact "golf ball" profile follows curved tread and sidewall areas without digging in. A 6 mm (0.24 inches) shaft fits standard drill chucks, air die grinders, and many tyre repair machines, making it straightforward to use at the bench or on mobile jobs. It also helps remove loose or frayed steel wires found in radial tyres, leaving a tidy repair area. Built for regular workshop use, this durable buffing stone supports consistent preparation across car, van, plant, ATV, mower, and wheelbarrow tyres.
