Measure my pickup resistance I shall…
I have a book by Dan Erlewine, the man that made Albert King’s flying-V “Lucy,” and it recommends an easy tool that allows you to measure the circuitry with a potentiometer, which also allows you to measure your pickup-resistance. The tool basically consists of an instrument plug and wires with crocodile clamps that you can attach to your potentiometer lines.
I decided to attach banana plugs instead of the crocodile clamps, so I can stick them straight into my potentiometer. It allows me to quickly read the electronics of my guitar to see whether the wiring is in order, which is awesome. Good instrument plug for a great tool.
You can also use it for instrument cables. Either way, don’t forget your shrink wrap. That way you can easily make your own professional cables.

A Jack that does its job
In essence, I prefer making my own instrument cables rather than buying them, I am not that expert on the quality of the metal that is made of however this is a great budget one with great build quality.
Easy and open to do the soldier, and still good space between (+) and (-), from an assembly perspective the jack is easy to put together, is easy to solder, and has the ability to take some really thick cable.
The delivery service by Thomann was fantastic, can it get any better, a great value !!!

Great bang for a buck
I used it to make some short patch cables to connect my reverb unit to my audio interface and so far so good. I didn't want to buy the most expensive plugs because they will be stationary all the time where there is really low chance of breaking them. For that kind of application that's probably one of the best plugs you can get, because of its price

High Quality Jack at Low Price
I have a small mixing studio where I seem to go through leads and cables like no one?s business. Wear and tear gets the best of everything at some point. I used these jacks on several guitar leads that have been damaged at various points. Simply snip of the offending jack, unscrew the new one and solder. These jacks had nice clean, easy soldering points that anyone (even those with terrible soldering skills) could work on.
Highly recommend!

Does exactly what it is supposed to do
The jack's been great and I've used two of them as r/l-audio from my soundcard to a couple of old speakers that I had. No problems soldering them to the old thin cables and it's worked flawless since.
All and all, everything's metal and doesn't seem like they haven't aged at all since ~2y. ago when I bought them. I also think they will be reusable later on.
It did also come with a small plastic isolating cap to protect the connections, nice touch considering that it the jack barely cost anything.

Solid build, easy to soldier on
Here is a great budget one with great build quality.
Easy and open to do the soldier, and still good space between + and -
Order some more that you need, always come in handy when some goes wrong with a cable.
Shipped on Saturday from Thomann, delivered on my door in Sweden on Tuesday.
Can it get any better :)

A cheap and cheerful jack
This jack suited my needs with ease. Clearly a budget item, i found it stood up to the rigours of gigging. I bought several of them to solder into studio and gigging cables. The performance of the jack far outweighed its price and is still going strong after years of abuse.
From an assembly perspective the jack is easy to put together, is easy to solder and has the ability to take some really thick cable(i used Sommer spirit XXL). This means that you can use a much higher quality of guitar lead and not worry that the jack won't cope with the thickness of the insulation.
