Abstract

A tire puncturing device includes a plurality of drive pins which are mounted on a base plate. The pins can be forced into an automobile tire in order to puncture the tire and thus prevent the automobile from being driven. The drive pins are normally Teflon coated in order to prevent the tire from sealing onto the pins. The device is intended primarily for law enforcement officers.
