It's not worth it. suitable for power tools and hand tools

I would not waste your money. The inaccuracy mentioned by others caused me to put this back in the box and go back to the plastic pilot holes sold at hardware stores. The case where this tool comes in has the worst catches, it only adds to the frustration when you try to take it out.

Pros
  • Trial period for one year
Cons
  • Some disadvantages

Made for this Purpose

When you need to install a lot of handles or drawer pulls, having these things to install is a definite benefit. Set it once for all boxes of a certain size, and this will greatly simplify the task. Otherwise, many cabinets and drawers will require you to measure at ill-defined points, and it is easy to make mistakes and correct mistakes.

Pros
  • Free for Educational Purposes
Cons
  • ---

Durable, well made, time-saving!

Saved me so much time! As a furniture business owner I save so much time and as time is money this item was paid for the first job I used it on. What took 2 hours to do the whole big kitchen and 2 bathrooms now takes less than an hour. Super easy to use once you get the hang of it. Robust construction. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Not the best

I wish I had bought this many years ago

Just used this to install 9 drawers on a dresser I'm building. I've never had such accuracy with my homemade jigs that I've made before. I will say I used a clamp to hold it while drilling the holes. I used the type of clamp you would use with a Kreg. I had one on hand and it worked great. I highly recommend it.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Boring packaging

Professional panel builder.

I have used many different accessories over the years. After 26 years of working with cabinets I have found a simple and easy to use light fixture that has not disappointed me. I chose the all-aluminum model with case. The locks on the case are flimsy, but they work. Everything is well protected. I recommend so far! It comes with extra drill bushings which leads me to believe they won't last long but we'll see. Thanks for a great product that is under $300!

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • clarity

Works well after setup.

Machining is offset slightly so that a standard 5" grip has one side approximately 1/32" higher than the other. I taped about 4 turns of blue masking tape to the underside. It seems to work, the handles are even/transparent. I use a template to mark the location of the holes with a 3/8" chuck and gently rotate counterclockwise by hand. I mark all the spots and then drill all the holes. DO NOT attempt to drill holes. with the template set.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Requires Rosette

Not quite accurate on power tool parts and accessories

All measurement marks/steps are 1/16" to 3/32" from the center of the vertical ruler guide. The horizontal rule was ideal. You can also use an optional screw clamp on the vertical rail instead of relying on just one. replacement ordered. Let's see if the new one is better. Rating update: Downgraded to 2 stars. The changing tool was still about 1/16 inch off. This is unacceptable and I will not attempt to replace it again. A person should be able to adjust the square to the desired size and do…

  • Lubricant 🔥

Nice tool design but imperfect performance

Pros: - Easy to set up and adjust - Fit and finish seems very good - Storage case and spare drill sleeves are a nice touch. The screws don't appear to be very tight. I found that every 2-3 knobs I adjusted I checked the tension of the adjustment screw to avoid losing my adjustments. Although the bracket looks very nice, the adjustable drawer top/door edge guide is not parallel to the handle adjustment ruler. drill guides. There was about a 3/8 inch difference down the length of the ruler, with…

  • Impressive

  • Not bad

Not Square - Returned

Despite all the bad reviews about this light not being square, I took a chance. Unfortunately, the negative comments were correct. After fitting the bracket to my handle, I installed it on the door, drilled the holes, installed the handle and leveled it. The handle wasn't straight, although I knew the mount was being used as instructed. I had to increase the size of the holes so the handle was straight. I made marks on the next door where the handle should be, then I placed the bracket over my…
