Much faster than soldering. Works great with the tool.

It's what you need if you are not an expert in soldering and want to easily add an GPIO header to a PI zero. Very easy to use (following instructions available on internet). It's not cheap (a few plastic pieces) in comparison to PI zero cost , but can be used for several PI zero (using additional male/female headers). Applied to a PI zero W, it could be a cheaper alternative to PI 3 model for some usages.

Brilliant idea, makes adding the pHats to the RPi Zero effortless. Also I do recommend the installation jig!

Great if you don't own a soldering iron. Just tap the pins home and your good to go

Everything is there ready, the installation requires firm rubber hammer, Hit at slow pace better to ensure that you are getting the pins flat. If these are available, I will never solder a GPIO again.

As my soldering skills are minimal at best these are an absolute blessing, worked perfectly, simple to use and stress free

The idea is great and I also bought the fixing guide kit. The fixing guide only lasted one use that worked well. But the very thin support on the back plate broke. So second use the header twisted. Hammer head good idea need a more robust guide kit
