I normally do my patching at home and usually wait until I have a few to patch. I can use a whole small tube and be done with it. Rema and Park Tools both work well if the proper process is used. I also use glueless patches at times. Fortunately, I do not get that many flats. I have nearly 3000 miles 2021 with no flats. I believe my last one was about 5000 miles ago.

I don't like flats, but they usually do not affect me much. Having quality tires that are in good condition is key. Being proficient at repairing/replacing the tubes dramatically lessens the frustration.
