Everything you need to get a GPIO header into a raspberry pi (without a soldering iron). Arrived quickly and in very secure packaging and was a doddle to hammer into place.

I can't solder to save my life, so these hammer headers were brilliant.

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.
