“Relatively easy to use product that helps placing GPIO headers, cheap solution for a one time use if you don't have soldering gear. Only downside is that the acrylic part that sits on top breaks easily (and I hammered gently). Very important to keep that piece steady and leveled with the pins while hammering. It has more to do with that than being gentle (I guess I wouldn't have broken anything if I paid more attention to leveling)”
“Love these little beauties! Takes but a few seconds to hammer them in, and if you change your mind (or fit the wrong one - ahem) you just jiggle a plectrum around a bit and bingo! it's off again! Brilliant!
I'll deffo be using these things again, what's not to like.
Oh, parcel arrived super-quick btw and the free Pimoroni coaster was a nice touch too, thanks!”
“Was tired of soldering half a dozen of the headers onto Zero Ws, so got a couple of these.
On first installation broke one of the acrylic installation pieces because of hammering on it. :(
Now I have a couple of hammer headers, but no installation jig. And I swear I was gentle with the hammering!
Anyways, this is an amazing product if used carefully!”
“This is a must for anyone getting a Pi Zero, W. I purchased the rig and a Pi Zero W at the same time.
Get the rig and a Pi Zero and you are good to go with any project. Following the video and pausing it while I carried out each easy to follow step was perfect for putting this together.
I need need my first aid kit, the pins are sharp! However minor flesh wound aside, this does exactly what it needs todo. The rig of course can be re-used, which is great.”
“Like others here, I have minimal soldering skills (ruined a PiTFT with dodgy soldering, if that's any indication), so I jumped for joy at seeing these.
I initially balked a little at the price (nearly $10 AUD excluding shipping for three sheets of acrylic, some nylon screws and the male / female components -- it's more expensive than a Pi Zero), but it's worth it in the end and I promise I won't balk again.
I had to give them a fair whack with a rubber mallet to get them to move in, but when they eventually went in, I held my pHat up like a newborn lion and admired my handy work.”
