Il manquait la tête d'un des boulons (en fer). Ce qui aurait pu empêcher l'utilisation du kit. Malgré cela, j'ai réussi à l'utiliser assez facilement. C'est vraiment très pratique.

Jig allows safe assembly so a useful tool to have.

I purchased this product thinking this would be a better and quicker way of fixing a header to a Pi zero rather than soldering. After taking a little while to get used to tapping in the header it actually took a bit more force than I was expecting which slightly cracked one side of the installation jig. Once I eventually got the header onto the Pi I tried attaching some kit to the GPIO port and to my surprise it didn't;t work! I double checked the pins underneath and they appear to be making contact with the Pi. I then tapped the pins just to make sure and it was a slight improvement however I am still having some issues. Personally after buying a new soldering iron with a fine tip and fine solder I ended up soldering on the pins onto another Pi zero which worked perfectly. Perhaps I was a bit too forceful with the hammer with the installation jig but I think I will stick to soldering in the future.

Excellent piece of kit - it takes 1 minute to find a hammer, 30s to read the instructions and 30s to tap in the GPIO pins. No soldering required and straight on to the next step in the Pi project!!
