I can no longer recommend the hammer headers for @SeedSigner builds.
The hammering jig cracked and then I did my best to improvise around it. Everything went way downhill from there.
I'm only going to solder the gpio headers on now.

Here was the beginning of the end. Cracked the thick hammer bar but was able to finish this one.
The next two (not on video) were total failures in multiple ways. The jig itself just has too much wobble in its vertical guides. And acrylic just isn't strong enough, apparently.

The ideal jig would be something like a set of female headers, but loose and deep enough to directly contact the male headers' plastic base (there's no way to avoid dirty imagery here!) so that the force lands there instead of up at the pins. Much less room for error/skew.
But I'd guess that the pin tips would also need to bottom out in the female slot (omg, seriously here), otherwise the hammering will probably shove the plastic base down while the pins don't actually seat.
