Best choice if you can solder!
Great product and great seller communication. If you're good at soldering (like I am) then get this one and save yourself the money you'd spend on a pre-assembled one. It's got a good quality PCB and components, comes with a jumper kit, and you get to decide if you want pass-through or standard header pins (both are inlcluded) - all in a reusable box. The stickers were missing with my kit, but the seller was very quick to make it right; it took 2 weeks to get here from Asia, but that is expected. I'm probably going to order another one soon.

Hope you like soldering. :-)
As others have mentioned, this does not have screw terminals, it has a push-to-open type of connecter that works well enough if you use the tool they send with it, but I would have preferred to have screws. The screw type terminals would require less pressure pushing against the board stack. If the stack is not mounted (ie: lose on the bench) it becomes a three-hand proposition to make connections.I did not realize at first that it comes with both stackable headers and regular headers. The stackable headers are the very common ones that have rectangular pins, not square pins. The square pins (which the other headers have) are more reliable, IMHO, so those are the ones I soldered to the board. You won't be stacking any other boards on top of this anyway, the only advantage of the stackable headers are that you can insert wires into them, but then why buy this board if you are going to do that?The ICSP header is included, but is only pass-thru and has no screw terminals associated with them that I can find. So, there is really no point in soldering this header in place if another shield will not be stacked on top of this one.

Not screw terminals
First off this does not come with screw terminals. You need to use the flat blade provided screw driver to push rather hard down on the orange tab and place your wire in. I found that I needed a length of at least 8mm (5/16”) for it to hold the wire once you release the pressure on the tab. I was able to use 16g wire and I am not sure if larger would fit. Otherwise satisfied except I would prefer to have screw terminals over the spring terminals as the description stated. Yes, I am keeping the product since I already soldered the terminals on the board. Removed a star for improper description.

Won't work with standard breadboard jumper wires
I have a lot of breadboard jumper wires connected to the mega. Sometimes they come off and it gets complicated to even remember where they came fromSo I got this breakout board to use the screw terminals to attach the breadboard jumper wires. But... the screw terminals do not work with the standard jumper wires!I guess I could have realized since they are bundling their own wires. Also Jon's review pointed it out. But it's nowhere in the description.It was fun spending a few hours soldering and gluing the labels to the connectors. But this now goes to the trash can

Keeps wires attached securely, works great
Great product, worked very well. Needed this to keep my wiring attached in an arduino that was mounted upside-down. Worked perfectly.

Solid unit. Soldering required.
Solid, seats squarely and firmly, holds wires well.

no screws - seems like they might be trying to deceive you by saying SCREWS.
no screws - they refer to screws but there are no screws. Don't be fooled. This is not what you want if you want a screw connections.
