Live, eat, breathe, poop, hammer in headers and die.
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.

Great GPIO pins
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.

works good
works as it should for my Pi Zero

Pins don't hold tightly

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

As expected
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

Very difficult to install, even with jig
Extremely difficult to install, even with a jig. The pins ended up bent, and my pi was no longer functional after installation. I would recommend just soldering a header in, it is way easier and faster.

The Only Kind I Will Use Going Forward
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.
