Ginge the only difference is the two tools you need to install the plugs. In you first link the 2 tools were very heavy duty. The plugs and cement are generic can be purchased at any auto parts store ( at least here) cost about 50 cents each. The Installation tools can be purchased separately.

These are a temporary repair only , ie bush use . The better version is here,
4 REMA TIP TOP MINICOMBI 6MM PLUG PATCH MUSHROOM + VULCANISING GLUE TYRE REPAIRS | eBay
and is OK as permanent repair without risk of plug blowing out , you do have to demount tyre to fit , which is what you should do so you can inspect inside of tyre casing both work well , and with the string type you can combine 2, or 3 to fill a bigger hole . Dont use with tube , as tube wont last long , the mushroom type doesnt have that problem , and also seals the cords from getting water in . HTSH
 
cheers for the info fellas.

I have a slow puncture on one of my tyres and its about time i repaired it. Im not rue how much a garage would charge to do it but i thought they could be useful for out and about anyway
 
I been using these for years , on bikes and cars ,although the law has changed via eu,repairs should be carried out from inside the tyre using a mushroom type plug . It can't come out unlike tempory plugs .

These are classed as temporary fix and should be used under speeds of fifty , but in saying that I've never had a problem the AA even use them .

But I do suggest you get this type plug, it's shapped so it can't come back out with the added benifit of the glue , you can also get canisters that will inflate the tyre to 10 psi to get you out of trouble . Holes must not be bigger than 6mm

I have found the silver line kit that Deasy posted for a little bit less and free postage so i bought that.

I only have a very slow puncture but i will report back when I've received it and fixed it.

Its worth having if your in the middle of nowhere.
You won't get caught out and for the cost of one kit can do many punctures.
