There are many glueless patches out there that are faster and easier to use. But they are intended only to get you back home if you get a puncture while out on a ride.
These are far superior for when:
A) You have a slow leak in your tire from a tiny puncture. Most of my punctures are this type, and I discover them when I am getting ready to ride and my tire is flat. You're already at home, so a temporary fix for a single ride would just be wasteful. You use this permanent fix instead.
B) You have replaced a tube, but now want to bring your old tube "back to health" so that it can serve as your spare. Remove the temporary patch (if applicable) and fix it the right way with this kit.
C) You are not in a big rush during your ride and you get a flat. If you're not racing against the clock (or the sun) and have at least 20 minutes to let the glue dry, using this patch kit rather than a glueless one means not having to re-do your work later.
It's RARE that I find myself in a circumstance where a glueless patch would be my choice. This is a great patch kit that does what it should, and the fixes STAY fixed.
Happy riding!
