I don't understand all the negativity in other reviews. Sure, it's not the strongest thing, but if you're like me and have had to juggle holding wires in place for soldering, you know two hands aren't enough. You'll need at least 3, maybe 4. Usually when I'm fixing something or plugging in a new adapter for something I've built, one of my kids will help me hold something in place. It s cheap. But for less than $10 you can attach the wires long enough to grab an iron and some solder to make it work. Even for a single project, I'd say it's worth it. But if you're the kind of person that does this often enough and wants something more permanent, I understand why this might not be the ideal solution. So 4 stars is a great value for the hobbyist who needs help from time to time.
