Pucture repaired by magic

Got called to the neighbours house the other day, as their citroen picasso had a puncture.

Expecting a heavy lifting job, but she produced a 'can' that connected to the tyre and then connected in line to a small electric pump that connected to a power socket inside the vehicle.

Even though the tyre was as flat as a pancake, it inflated and stayed up. How can something seal a tyre with such big gaps i ask myself.

Got to thinking something like this would get the wife home without me having to come out. Is there a make of such a 'magic can' that people would recommend to buy?

Not a recommendation as I've never used the product, but eBay item No

Tyre fitters hate them, and some say they ruin the tyre. Having said that, I keep a can in my wife's car so she won't have to change the wheel.

Apart from the "connected in line to a small electric pump that connected to a power socket inside the vehicle" bit...wonder what that was all about?

No experience, carried a can of Holts Tyreweld for years and never used it, the two times I've ever had punctures were within two weeks of each other and I was able to fit the spare both times.
