These only save time if you purchase pre-drilled/tapped heatsinks. Trust me, soldering takes way less time then tap/die. Screw fittings are super convenient, but using thermal adhesive was a much better alternative for me when factoring in 200+ LED's. Its probably a quarter the time of drilling the heatsinks.

That being said, they are really slick looking fittings. I might go this route for my next smaller build.
