I hadn't seen these before. I figured some people here might appreciate them.

Those look pretty neat, anyone ever try them by chance?

It almost looks too good to be true.  

What sort of plastic holds up to enough heat to melt the solder?  I don't think it's tin/lead or silver solder.  
The demo probably uses teflon insulated wires- experience tells me vinyl insulation would melt.

I wonder if its more like a soldier paste that just gets compressed onto the connection when the heatshrink shrinks.

I don’t know what they are using in this product, but I do know that PTFE heat shrink needs over 300°C to shrink, which is plenty hot to melt most solder alloys.

Decided this was a great way to spend a gift certificate I had. 50 pack on the way.

I bought a kit from a company based in Racine some years ago; used it where I had connections exposed to more challenging conditions. Their butane "UltraTorch" was handy because, not coincidentally, where I was using this, I didn't have easy access to AC power.
