Yes they are great caps, only do not use on mains, do not use in an environment where the capacitor will be exposed to high voltage ( over 30V) in humid climes and do not use for any pulse application. They do burn off ends in pulse applications, and the top and bottom of the capacitor 9 along with the ends of course) are conductive, so leave a gap under the cap when soldering to a board, or the flux residue there will cause leakage.
They do make a nice orange spark when they arc over, and I have soldered wires onto the Schoop ends on occasion when the end wire broke loose from the spot weld. Very fast and pre tin the wire end with a blob of solder.
