Makeronics 3220 Tie-Points Solderless Breadboard with Blue Aluminum Back Plate for Circuit/Arduino/Raspberry Pi Prototyping

I was thinking of buying a cheaper one but I finally opted for this one - “ you get what you pay for”. I was not disappointed, this is quality. It really comes down to one question - would I buy this again? Yes!

I had purchased an Arduino Mega kit, which had its own breadboard. But sadly, the build quality was terrible, in that the wire pins were not making good contact in the board.The Moneymakers 3220 breadboard had an aluminum base with 4-bindposts attached. There is lots of room for developing rather large circuits. Most importantly, I was not bothered by intermittent wire connections.

The contacts pointed for Vin, and GND just fell apart with normal usage. The feet don't have proper screw holes, some cheap adhesive that doesn't even hold. Some contacts on the breadboard already broke. I mean its a cheap breadboard less than half the price of an OEM 3m breadboard. You get what you pay for

Well built. Iron plate. Good wire insertion etc.

This one cost more than all the others, thought it might be "better". Nothing special here other than it's a different color. The feet that they brag about are NOT real screw on feet, they are just ordinary stick on feet and they give you some little wood screws. Not the same thing as feet designed for this purpose with metal infused inserts.Also they do not mention there is no way to screw on the center foot and you must have it with a board this big and the stick on the feet they give you is useless. So you will be gluing it.There terminals they choose could not possibly be cheaper, they are too big around and not shaped right to stop turning in the plate. THEY SLIP REALLY BAD NO MATTER HOW TIGHT YOU MAKE THEM (STRIP REALLY EASSY).This is not a bad board mind you, but it has absolutely nothing to offer over the others that cost much less. I took of 2 stars because I do not believe it is a good value.
