When looking at the description of this item, I too doubted that it could work the way it said it would. After all, how could a little plastic gun possibly fix the broken pre-lit trees in my garage, or the half burned out strands of lights littering my Christmas Tupperware just waiting to be thrown away? And by the rules of natural law, as well as everything we know about science - it can't. We all know from years of experience that a broken light strand is totally useless.
The designer of this plastic gun therefore did what none of us were willing to. He made a deal with Satan himself. I can only imagine the price he paid for this hellborn contraption that runs on the blood of angels.
An effort was made to make its function more palatable - the instructions talk about "fuses" and "shunts" but I'm pretty sure the plastic housing is empty outside of the dark energies swimming within.
What matters is that it works. I stood in shocked awe as a pre-lit strand that shut off five years ago jumped back to life. The piles of lights I was planning to through out have also been resurrected and look brand new.
So long as you don't mind profiting from a Faustian bargain - this thing really does work. And it is amazing.
