This breadboard does its job just fine. The people who claim the banana jacks are flimsy apparently have never learned how to use a crescent wrench. If you tighten them down with a crescent wrench, they're perfectly sturdy. I was happy to see that they really are good quality. I expected people who would buy this product to be able to figure out that they need to tighten the nuts with a wrench, but apparently I was wrong. As a result, I'm more happy with this product than expected. The only improvement I can think of would be for them to have a lug specifically to connect a ground wire to the backplane. That said, you can use an alligator clip to do that when you need to.

This board also can be expanded with the individual non-mounted breadboards of the same length, also sold by Amazon. I have an additional one attached (the edges of the boards allow you to lock them together). I may add another one later to make for a nice, very large proto surface.

Good product, reasonable price. Recommended.

Ordered this for a college digital design class. Held up to a semesters worth of use and commuting back and forth from school. Will use it again when needed for school labs or for personal projects at home.
Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the banana jacks do seem cheap, but they have lasted so far and really if you're looking at a bread board I think replacing banana jacks shouldn't be too hard for you to do.

The protoboards and aluminum substrate seem of good quality, but the four banana/power terminals supplied are cheap junk. They're probably fine if you don't remove them more than once or twice, but any more than that and they might fail. Comes with a wiring kit which might save some time stripping wires I guess. Also four rubber feet included.

Price was too high. Exact same item is available new from surplus electronics houses on-line for about half this price. My Prime subscription made the price with free 2-day shipping just close enough to make it worthwhile, although still a little over the surplus store.

Good Product. Not that large as I expected. But yet it is good and cheap

its being a nice breadboard and i works a lot with it in college its an excellent and important product for me.

This breadboard is great due to it's nice wide layout. As we got further along in labs my older single width breadboard was just getting to cramped for the more involved circuits (this is not a toy Amazon) involving multiple Op-Amps and filters. The connections actually feel more durable than my older board but this one costs no more even though it has 3x the area. Having 5 dedicated power rails is very convenient too. I highly recommend getting a jumper wire kit too just too keep everything sorted in the circuits.

Ive made a lot of projects in this board and works perfectly, its a good item bicause its very very big. U have to screw where u place the imput voltages, thats kinda messy. Ill give it a 10/10
