Mini tippet rings

[macfly55]

... saw these advertised on one of the on line fly fishing subscriptions I have.. apparently they aree tied to the end of the leader .. and then the tippet is tied to the ring...

.. has anyone ever used these.. are they just another gimmick.. will using these rings instead of a direct leader to tippet line connection cause your line to be weaker at that point??

.. so many questions.. so little time.. []
