Lousy value for money

3.0

The product you receive will _not_ be the product in the image. These prototyping jumpers _used_ to be lovely quality; solid metal turned pins with heavy heat shrink strain relief on each wire. Nigh on indestructible, pleasant to use, reliable to a fault. The current product is just a length of wire with two completely ordinary formed (not turned) male pins crimped onto it, slid into completely ordinary single pin plastic sheaths. No strain relief. Nothing adding robustness. All of which would be fine if the set cost ~$3.50. But it doesn't, it's ~$0.50/wire. Doesn't even come in a nice storage box or something. So, pros are as follows; Decent quality PCV wire. Decent quality rolled and plated (but not gold plated) pins, properly crimped onto the wire. The cons are: misleading product image, which shows the old version of the product. Stupendously overpriced for a product that is no longer even education grade.
