They look nice and hold okay when they work but you'll ruin 1 for every 2 good joints, reducing their convenience factor.

There are many other kits is priced including one 200 piece for $7 ( can't link due to low seller reviews )

This one seems like a better deal.

I have never had one go bad using either a heat gun or just a lighter, but maybe I have been lucky so far.

I have terrible luck with these. I always end up with the plastic melted open and the solder still unmelted.

Absolutely flawed

These style of fusings work well in certain applications but not all. I wouldn't use them in critical application (unless my hand was forced) or high voltage/current. A great use case would be rewiring a trailer, or perhaps some automotive applications with striated wire. In-home use there are basically no cases where I'd use this, especially with 120V+. Maybe low voltage wiring (landscaping).

This manufacturer has a different data showing Fluoroelastomer as their highest temperature product and requires nowhere near 500°F

That's because POLYOLEFIN refers to mostly PP or HDPE, not fluoropolymer. See the last few entries there? PVDF and "Fluoroelastomer" - their ratings are much higher.
Note what I said though - the other person was complaining about the shrink tube portion MELTING. To get it to shrink, you just need to heat it up to its Tg (glass transition temp), not its melting point, although there will be a correlation (e.g. polyolefins will have lower melt temp AND Tg than fluoropolymers).

I did edit to make clear that this manufacturer highest temp is for Fluoroelastomer at 347° as a comparison to your assertion that 500° is ideal
