The wires should be joined together before you start soldering.
That is the root of my concern with these, everything I learned about soldering is that if you don't start with a good mechanical connection you will not get a good electrical connection. Even with the wires glued in place, there is not a solid mechanical connection.
I have no doubt that these will work fine in a lot of applications, but I don't see the advantage. For a fast/easy fix you won't beat a crimp with the right tool. For smaller gauge wire I would rather solder and then heat shrink it.
