Great product and simple to use. Saves so much hassle with soldering irons.

Simple to use. Was worried about wacking my Pi Zero, but the jig is very sturdy and the Pi well protected. Firm, accurate taps will do the trick.

Seems like it should work but after following the guide video and trying multiple times I have not been able to install the header using this jig and a hammer, the pins never sink in further than a small amount, and I worry that using much more force might damage the pi. I have seen other reviews suggest using clamps to help push the header more firmly into place to aid the jig but don't have any at the moment.

I had previously had some problems with GPIO header installation and this jig really made the process fast and easy.

This product was exactly what I needed. My soldering skills need work! Just as when working with or around other electronics, take care to be precise, follow the instructions and you won’t be disappointed with this jig. Great product!

Pretty scary when you're tapping away and you can see all the pins correctly aligned but the Pi Zero board is bending big style. A couple more careful taps and it went in so it's a win from me. Might try soldering next time though.
