Hey, Flexwatt is just a brand of heat tape. It's easy to use, install, and is reliable. Hope that helps.

I use flexwatt. Works great for me. Installation was a pain, I ruined a few feet of it trying to get the hang of soldering but once I figured it out it wasn't too bad.

If you are worried about soldering, you can purchase connector clips instead, so you don't have to mess with that. It is a little annoying.

Those clips are crap, just solder it and save yourself from possible problems.
