“Nice piece of kit if you arent very good at soldering. It was a bit fidley to get it all lined up, but then a few taps with the hammer and then all done. Just make sure you hammer across evenly to get all the pins in correctly.
Saves time soldering.”
“If, like me, you go boss eyed trying to see the tiny holes in the RPi Zero headers, these hammer on blocks are perfect. If you get a pair, then you can add your (p)hat almost effortlessly. I have even taken a hacksaw to them to use on smaller (yes smaller) add on boards like battery boards, or motor shims.
You can get almost any connector in hammer/press on form. I am surprised that they aren't supplied as standard to all boards/kits (come on Pi Hut!) - I'd happily pay the extra few pennies!”
“I bought this item because I can't be bothered to solder and it works just fine. But I would advise also buying the installation jig as you have to hit it quite hard with a hammer to drive the pins in. It would be very easy to bend the pins without the installation jig.”
