Purchased to replace a card reader that failed when overly soft contact pins bent

Also damaged SD slot pin but repaired later easily

and I wouldnt have to jiggle the card in and bend those skinny 30 pins that the junky readers have

The pins are extremely fragile

I had tried several CF card readers, but ended up having to repeatedly straighten the pins out.

I use a CF card which used to break pins in my old card reader, this one has ease of use, the card slides in and there are no worries

It lasted 6 months, before some how the "pins" got messed up on the Memory Stick

It's easy to bend the pins and destroy the reader

Those pins are fragile!

and/or my CF card will warp or break as I am pulling it out, even after selecting Eject
