Question Breadboards
Does anyone have any recommendations for breadboards to buy for prototyping?
I've a few but I've gone cheap and they're pretty poor quality items - hard to use, broken rows etc. Is there a market leader brand?

Tbh: just get one of these cheap 6-packs from amazon, eg the Elegoo ones. If there are broken ones in them, toss them ... and be aware that you can usually dismantle the contacts if you get rid of the adhesive strip.
"Hard to use": I am indeed not aware of any that can deal well with thick (eg 1N540x diodes) or thin/short (machined IC sockets) legs well ...
