Infinitely better than the plastic ones which break after 2 or 3 uses.
I've been through 3 of the jigs that are made of clear plastic, and they've all ended up with the thin spacer between the main body and the edge breaking off, so rather than buy a 4th one I spent the extra cash on this well-machined metal jig which I have to say works wonderfully. It's not perfect because the bar that gets the hammer has actually bent a little in mine but as long as you flip it over halfway through the process, it still does the job. I attached 20 headers in a sitting the day I got this which is 17 more than I ever managed with any of the cheaper style. Recommended. (Mind you if you are a competant solderer, soldering is preferred, but for us old geezers with poor eyesight and shaky hands, these friction-fit headers are a godsend.) Note that they even work for the bulk industrial friction-fit headers from China which are much cheaper than the ones you get from Raspberry Pi vendors in ones and twos - the plastic jigs won't handle these industrial headers which are meant for machine insertion at a higher pressure than the plastic jigs can provide.

Install header easily and securely
It's hard to find the Pi Zero with a header already soldered on, and life is too short for me to fumble with trying to solder a 40 pin connector. Enter the Vilros hammer-in header jig. The instructions were clear and the jig easy to set up. I put my Zero in and the header and got a hammer and gave it a tap. Nope, a tap doesn't do it. You need to give it a few decent whacks. Start at the middle and work your way to the ends alternating sides. Went in nice and straight and is a secure fit. Got it right on the first try without pending any pins or damaging the Pi Zero. I have a few more zeroes around, so I'll be buying additional headers to hammer in.

Works well
Works well! I was able to tap in pins into a few raspberry pi zeros without issue, rig is great for reuse in the future, solid metal construction
