Use it carefully! fits power tool parts and accessories

This tool looked like it had all the features of much more expensive tools so I bet it would suit me and if it worked well and lasted long enough of I would be delighted with all the new cupboards in our kitchen. Turns out I'm happy. BUT! If you haven't used one yet, be careful, work slowly and check your measurements. Don't think you can just lean it against closet doors and pierce it. The jig moves in multiple directions too easily, which is hard to notice when you're concentrating on drilling holes. The drill can abut the pilot hole and move the template, or worse, move the slider relative to the template. So I used tape and the clip shown to hold the jig in place while drilling. Even if you don't call yourself an expert, I would suggest screwing in each closet rod before moving on to the next because if the pilot hole on the template moved and you didn't notice it until it was too late, it would be sad . I tightened the set screws a little more than hand tightening with pliers. It's tempting to make cabinet doors that traditionally have the same offset by simply drilling them out like the experts on YouTube do. Not! The goal is to finish the entire kitchen with 40 or 50 holes, all within 1mm of where they should be. This should give you a tremendous sense of relief and accomplishment!

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No power
