Has  anyone had any experience using this product?

Yes.  If you need to make ONE PCB with up to, say, 50  PTH, the tiny 
gold-plated (or bright tin, if you are very poor) rivets are the  way to go.  If you 
must do ten or twenty identical PCB's, getting 'em done  professionally with 
PTH's is WORTH the little extra cost!  I once bought a  tiny poly-bag with 1000 
tiny gold-plated International Eyelets.   Looked to me at a glance I'd NEVER 
use that many for prototypes and  "one-offs".  DID in a couple of years!  Then 
I found a "deal" of some  tin-plated ones that require a 0.06" dia. hole.  
Sure, they can accept the  lead-wire of a resistor, etc., but they are a tad 
large for "IC work".  But  price was right.  However, the tiny gold I.E. ones were 
the better  product.  GO for it!  
 
Wonder if an employee of I.E. is among us, and could give us a  link which 
would show product-availability, source of printed catalog?, AND  pricing, 
etc.???    Huh???
