“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.”
“Excellent piece of kit - it takes 1 minute to find a hammer, 30s to read the instructions and 30s to tap in the GPIO pins. No soldering required and straight on to the next step in the Pi project!!”
“A bit of user error with this, when I didn't assemble it correctly, but has allowed me to successfully build pi-zero machines with gpio headers, for our local coder-dojo”
