Me a few days ago, shopping on Amazon: “All the component and jumper wire leads are going to be on the bottom anyway; why shouldn’t I get a pack of single-sided breadboards for $6.25 instead of double-sided ones for $10?”
Me today, after having lifted three pads off the damn board in 10 minutes: “Oh, that’s why.”
Get the double-sided breadboards; they’re worth it.
I guess the stuff I buy is an extra tier above then, because I definitely only spring for the platted through-hole double sided boards. I’ve cut little sections of my supply to use in various projects.
