Only if you are at or near a Discount Tire Store. Handy to keep in your trunk along with an air pump. Especially if you are not in town.
100%
Both are must-haves, IMO. In each of three cars I have a battery-powered inflator (Ryobi since I'm on their platform), battery jumper (Noco), and one of these tire repair kits (plus the spray foamy ones as a last resort), among other items.
Have used the tire repair kit (different version than OP but similar) a few times, including on a long drive up to through BC (Canada) when we got a flat many, many miles from the nearest open gas station.
Whether this one or a similar, well worth $10ish, IMO!
Better to get a patch vs plug, but I'm buying one jic for emergency
Yes but you can't patch when you're stuck out in the woods or desert and don't have a tire beading machine to take the tire off your rim to patch it properly...
These plugs are simply to limp you back home/to the cities where you CAN get a proper patch done (at discount tire or wherever)

these seem handy but wouldnt be better to get a nail fixed free at places like discount tire?
Faster if you do it yourself than the time you spent on swapping the tire with the spare and then have to redo once the tire is fixed. Most of the time I did not even have to remove the tire to do the plug.
I have this kit, but the downside is that the puncture tool is a bit thicker than the ones you find in stores, and you can detach it from the handle to connect to a drill. Other than that, I've used it for about eight fixes so far.
You can get a Slime brand kit for a similar price at Walmart, Home Depot, etc.
Good to also have screwdriver set; in case a screw gets lodged in your tire it's best to back it out with a screwdriver instead of yanking it out with pliers (also good to have a set of pliers to help with pulling nails out).

I had a bad week last month; a nail in one tire; a screw in another! ! I used a Slime-brand kit to plug the holes. Then I noticed the packaging said the plugs are only for emergencies until the tires can be professionally repaired. The next day, I drove to my local tire center ("Mavis Discount Tire"). They checked the tires in a water trough, told me the tires are ok (no air bubbles) and that I did a good job, and that the plugs are not only for emergencies; i.e., that nothing further needed to be done. They even said they no longer install patches; just plugs. I know little about tire repair so don't know what/who to believe.
