I've always shied away from using but connectors and other crimp on style connectors except for temporary usage. I have always soldered and shrink tubed my connections and have never had an issue. I heard so much hype about these connecters that I finally gave them a try. To my surprise, they are just as good as soldering and shrink tubing the connections but with fewer steps. A real time saver and a good solid connection protected from the elements.

Aun con pistola de calor al maximo la soldadura no se derritió. Solo el plastico se encogió, nada mas.

My god these things are the best invention mankind has ever come up with. Seriously whoever invented these should have a statue made of them and put in every town in the country.If you do any kind of tinkering or electronic repair, or just like to mess with stuff you NEED these in your life. I’ve been a tinkerer all my life, I like nothing more than fixing and messing with electronics and have been soldering for about 30 years but these are a game changer. Just strip the ends of the wires and push each end into the correct size tube and heat with whatever you use, I use a gas powered Dremmel portable soldering iron. The solder strip in the middle melts and solders the wire and the 2 seal rings shrink and seal the wires from water. The joint is amazingly strong when done right and is very neat.These are great to use in tight places when you don’t have much room like when your working on a vehicle.I absolutely love these and will always have them in my tool kit from now on.

*EDIT 5/1/2020* So I'm positive these are the best things in the world. I've finally exhausted the majority of the 50 pack and just gladly ordered the 280 and can say that 20-25 for these things is a great deal for how effective these are. For super permanent or less space-starved fixes I still prefer to sit down and solder/wrap normally (like wiring a car stereo) but for just about anything else, even stuff you might come back to, these are a game-changer. You can hold more heat shrink onto the back of the wires since it takes way less heat through the wire to secure these than actual solder where the wire itself can get pretty hot, especially larger more conductive wires that might start closing the heat shrink down the wire prematurely while securing the joint.This actually saved my butt when my headlight wire got caught leaving work (I get off after dark). I had thrown a few in my backpack "just in case" and it actually came up. These are super convenient and get the job done. They're actually pretty solid, too, and feel relatively trustworthy.I like these better than the hard, plastic crimps that don't shrink down, obv, but I mean these things are definitely more solid, and I feel like I've gotten those things tight. For anything worth anything that needs to be permanent, you want to splice, solder, and heat shrink. But when that isn't an option anytime soon, these are by far the most clutch tool to have in your electrical toolbox.

I read a bunch of the reviews and took a chance that this lived up to the hype and it really does. It was super easy to join all the wires in the cable harness that I was working with. I was easily able to push the one wire through and then the other from the other side, have them mingle in the center and then hold it over my upright heat gun and just watch the heat shrink tubing and then the solder seal up the joint. It was beautiful and made a strong and water tight seal (not that water tight was really anything I needed to worry about), just like a regular soldered joint and heat shrink, but without a two step process. The only thing I needed to be careful of is that the whole thing is still a bit gooey when you take it away from the heat gun, so letting it cool a few seconds before applying any accidental lateral pressure kept from making a mess. Connected about 30 pairs of wires in about 30 minutes without having my hand hurting from crimping connectors over and over again. Love this, would totally order it again, and as some others mentioned, the box was surprising small and compact. Really great, highly recommend, but you definitely want to have a heat gun.

Good product but grossly overpriced
