Price is a bit steep for a few bits of plastic, but its also not crazy expensive. Managed to do 2 of the male headers. To use it work along the top bracket and hit it medium hard repeatedly, dont just wallop it with a single hit and expect it to be in. Not sure how long this thing will last though ?

Gentle taps with the hammer are not sufficient. Read the instructions carefully several times before banging anything. Gradually increasing the strength of taps to the point at which the pins bent prior to being in the correct position. Managed perhaps 2/3 of the way there on all of the pins prior to the bending. Will go and find someone that is able to solder a head on.....

Great Product! Works very well. The only thing that you have to be cautious of is that all the pins are hammered in evenly. Installation was a breeze, and the installation jig helped a lot.

Performed exactly as advertised, was up and running within minutes of installing my header pins with the jig.
