The difficulty is in the 5th bit, which this seems not to mention anything
about or allow control over.


OK, so in the FAQs it mentions that it's equivelent to joining the 5th L3
bridge. Great, but what if you want to break it :-)

Seems to have very limited use, and it isn't entirely clear what they're
doing.

Give me a break. No one needs this. And it borders on false advertising. It
doesn't unlock crap. Just grounds the 5th multiplier bit, changing the
default multiplier, which can be easily be done at no cost at all with a
piece of scrape wire.

But the difficulty in placing the wire in just the right spot somehow
might outweigh the $15 and 20 seconds it takes to install a piece of
plastic.

able to unlock the multiplier i laughed, they're already unlocked.
