Trust me, you want heavy tools with "T" grips because sometimes it's really difficult to ream out the hole and insert the plug...particularly if you're trying to work directly through the tread. I recommend a container of vulcanizing cement. Makes it easier to insert the plug sometimes. Now that I look closer it appears the newer kits come with cement. You'll also want a pair of wire cutters handy to grab the screw or nail and pull it out.

excuse my quizzical look but don't plugging and patching have to be done from inside the tire?

the above sounds like the o.p. wants to do it while still on the rim , on the truck ?
