Simple and effective. Much easier than making 40 solder joints.

Super easy to install a very clever solution.

Did what it says on the tin, I used a rubber mallet and it took some fairly serious hits to seat correctly but is solid now it’s in place. Would still buy again.

Solid, very easy to use, the only problem I had was with installing the top part on a pHAT DAC (the holes were a tiny bit difficult to insert into, but they went in with a bit of patience).

Great option for anyone not too confident with a soldering iron. But do note that you need to place it on a hard surface for it to work properly. I put mine on a solid table, but put a beer coaster underneath to prevent damage to the table. Turns out even the padding from the beer coaster prevented the pins from going through (no matter how hard I whacked em). I had to place it directly on the hard surface before they would go through all the way.

I ordered a Keybow and remembered that my 1st gen Pi Zero didn’t have the GPIO pins. Since I can’t solder for toffee this was a very useful solution. Perfectly designed, a couple of taps on the jig with my pin hammer securely fixed the male header in place.
