Stan's NoTubes DART Tubeless Repair Tool — Specs & Analysis
Manufacturer specifications, compared against every other tools & repair in our database. We do not test gear in the field — we measure, verify, and compare.
The DART (Dual Action Repair for Tubeless) works differently from plug kits — it inserts from inside the tire using your existing sealant to bond a permanent patch. No need to remove the tire or break the bead. Refills are cheap and widely available.
Who Is the Stan's NoTubes DART Tubeless Repair Tool Best For?
Quick trailside tubeless repairs without breaking the bead. If that describes your riding style, the DART Tubeless Repair Tool should be at the top of your shortlist. It sits in the Tools & Repair category alongside 15 other products we track.
How It Compares
At 40g and $27, the DART Tubeless Repair Tool is 14g heavier than the lightest option in this category (the Dynaplug Racer Pro Tubeless Repair at 26g). The most budget-friendly option is the Pedro's Tire Levers (Pair) at $6.
The price-to-weight ratio comes in at $68 per 100g — a premium price point, but you're paying for quality, materials, and design that justify the investment for serious bikepackers.

- +Internal seal is more permanent
- +Simple one-step process

The Bottom Line
We haven't scored the Stan's NoTubes DART Tubeless Repair Tool, and neither has anyone else we can cite. It's here for its verified specifications and dimensions, which is what the fit tools run on — a score is an editorial judgement, and we don't hand one out until someone has a basis for it. What this page can tell you is measured: 40g, $27, and how both sit against every other tools & repair product we track.

Specifications and dimensions come from the sources listed above. Where a page draws on first-hand riding, it says so.
What it packs down to
Stan's NoTubes publishes a packed size of 1.5" x 5", which is 0.1 litres as a stuff sack. Of the 55 bags we track that publish a capacity, 55 have room for it and 0 do not.
Volume is computed from Stan's NoTubes's own packed size, treating a two-dimension figure as a stuff sack. Bag capacities are the makers' published figures, not ours — 12 of the bags we hold dimensions for publish no capacity and are left out of the count rather than assumed. A stuff sack does not reshape itself, so read the headroom as room to spare rather than a guarantee it goes in easily.
How it compares
Against the 16 tools & repair products we hold published specs for.
At 40g the DART Tubeless Repair Tool is lighter than 12 of 15 alternatives we track, which makes it among the lightest we track. The category median is 108g.
At $27 it undercuts 12 of 15 of them, against a median of $35. That works out at $68 per 100g — above the $36 median for tools & repair products.
Weight and price come from published specifications. Cost per 100g is a blunt measure — it rewards light gear and says nothing about durability or whether the thing works — so treat it as one input, not a verdict.
