40 Pin GPIO Solderless Hammer in Header for Raspberry Pi Zero, Zero W, Zero W 2 (Header Only)

Works perfectly. Connected with the Pi Zero 2 w flawlessly. For anyone having issues setting up here was my method - put a piece of cardboard under the pi - place the pins into the pi - put something above the pins to spread impact (I used a butter knife but was looking for a small piece of wood first) - hammer CAREFULLY a few times I followed up individually tapping some pins that did not set on the first try. I just tested my pi and all gpio pins seem to be working perfectly. Totally worth the price if you, like me, are less than stellar at soldering (I accidentally fried one of my pis a week ago trying to solder pins into it) I will 100% be coming back every time I need pins for pi projects and recommend the same for anyone else who is hesitant soldering. EDIT: If some pins do not work make sure you didn't push them too far through. You might need to adjust them from the bottom

It's a biological process of mine now. I've deployed so many raspberry pis with this thing it's not even funny. It functions great, I'm using every single GPIO pin WITH PWM and I haven't had a single issue, connections are a solid as ever. It's pretty easy to use as long as you bash it in correctly and have the tool to bash it in, I can't help but feel like it's not quite worth the money they're charging for it though. No matter how you slice it, it's just a slightly modified 40-pin header that would cost literal pennies to manufacture tons of... But you get ripped off in the maker community a lot. If you want better affordability, just find some random crap on AliExpress and throw it together, but hey, I couldn't imagine my life without the vilros hammer in header. Removes that whole part where your soldering 40 pins, balancing flux and trying to NOT wrap your hands around the nearest neck of whatever creature is by you. BY THE WAY, YES. IT IS ABSOLUTELY FREAKING BARBARIC. I LOVE IT.

This pin set is high quality. It was very easy to assemble. Hammering them in was actually a lot of fun. They provide great connectivity and functionality.

Using the recommendation of hammering the pins in, they are completely broken and did not ever fully seat. At this price, they should be usable, but they are not.

Works just as expected. Takes a bit of force to pound into place, but that keeps the hold once it's in. Solder is probably better for longevity, but this is faster than soldering 40 pins. I'm a fan

I had 3 pin breaking while inserting the header. It fits well. Not too easy to install without proper tools

works as it should for my Pi Zero

You don't need a special tool to install these. I just got a small piece of soft wood and cut a notch out where the pin header goes, then tapped it in with a small hammer. So much faster, easier, and more reliable than soldering!!

It looks good and all, but I'm forced to buy another one for £25 to get the support rig to hammer it in, due to multiple failures and not wanting to risk my hardware further.

Debería decir que requiere un kit especial de instalación. Si planeas instalarlo a mano pierdes tu tiempo, dinero, y posiblemente dañes tu equipo. Al final tuve que soldarlos. Los pines se doblan con facilidad NO son de buena calidad.
