If you go to the Q&A section there they stress it's temporary only. The head of it must be lower than the tread so when the tread wears I suspect it will start to flex and leak. Gummy worms I feel are still more durable.

I've seen them online but have never been drawn to try them. The plugs we've used for many decades work fine and won't increase the size of the leak. These look like they might.

I kept a small kit of these in the tank bag on my Mandello. I never had to use one. I believe they are only intended to get you home or the nearest shop for a proper repair. I wouldn't use one for a long term repair.

Never tried but if they get you home then that's good enough and they look easy to use.
Personally, I would never trust any puncture repair kit that you can fit from the outside of the tyre for anything more than a 'get-you-home' repair to then be followed up by a proper, internal mushroom/patch repair or a new tyre.

Nealy or nothing. No glue and vulcanizes to the tire. Push in, 1-1/2 twists, pull out, cut off tag ends, refill with air and ride.
