One of the best sockets
Sturdy constuction, the cable jacks fit nicelly without any wobbles and therefore there is no crackling sound when you move around.
Indeed, very good rivetting and material.

Better than switchcraft!
I was curious about the quality of Kluson his jack sockets. I was only familiar with Kluson tuners etc. This jack is amazing!! I used it directly on a fernandes decade jazzmaster and it fits perfectly fine. What i really like about this jack is that once you put your cable inside of it, its easy to pull out again also. By new Switchcraft sockets i often have dificulties with that, im afraid i will damage the pickguard. But this one goes out smoothly!! The sound is stable, no errors or cracks in the sound.
Pros:
Cheap
Easy to pull out
Does not have cracks in the sound
Clear sound
Stable
Fits jazzmaster ( if needed )
Cons
I can't really think about any cons :)
In short: good clear, strong, quality jack socket for replacement or upgrade for an fair price.

Was not needed for the old Stratocaster
I noticed my guitar cable kept losing connection on my old Strat so I decided to get this jack socket as a replacement. However after some disassembly and further inspection I found that the original jack looked ok and that it was the cable plug that was a little short, so the connection wasn't latching properly. Perhaps there had been a standards change to plug length over the years (the guitar was bought in 1974). Anyway a bit of bending on the jack connections here and there is all it took to get it to latch onto the plug properly. I kept the new jack socket just in case.

Great Quality
These are the first Kluson jack sockets I've used and I'm impressed. Good quality and price is great. Good alternative to switchcraft.

Very well made
Very good quality. It is easy to fit and solder. A bit tight when the jack is entered but that is OK

Works perfectly
Replacement for the worn one in an old guitar I found in the basement. One soldering job later the jack now stays connected, and the guitar actually sounds pretty good.

Great jack
Great jack, snug fit, plenty of thread for any kind of jackplate. Feels rigid and better quality than others I've tried so far.

New sock(ets)
I changed the socked in my rosewood telecaster because the original one did not work properly with my new Neutrik silent plug cable. Are they any longer than normal jacks/plugs? Anyway, this socket is really solidly made (very thick German silver contact springs!). I did not have any problems soldering the contacts. It also seems to be stronger than the old one because the jack/plug is really tight now and does not wobble in the socket. So I can really confirm the "ultra firm riveting" in the product description. And not to forget, it is obviously compatible with these Neutrik silent plugs. I can only recommend this cheap spare part. I am planning to use another one in one of my stomp boxes.The price is really, really good (compared with the cheaper Harley Benton ones and the more expensive Allparts socket). So it is no wonder that Thomann uses this as their standard socket for guitars and basses.
