Not bad, but not good

It's very nice either way, but it doesn't do the job. The edges are a bit rough and the bubble gauges aren't the most accurate to use. In the end I returned them and got Johnard.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • So-so

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Inaccurate measurements and levels

I used this article but the measurements and levels are far off. In my opinion it is not recommended to use this for quality work. I had pictures as proof but Revain removed them, not sure why.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Works almost perfectly

Better than not using the template, one band is too wide. But it's easy to set up once you get used to it. I offset the template 1/8 inch and narrowed the width a bit before making the final mark. At least for the boxes that I use anyway.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • ---

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Robust but inaccurate.

Built in plumb bob/level indicator not accurate enough for everyday box cuts. I wish they would replace the level with a traditional style. One for horizontal and one for vertical alignment. This is a good template, but you must use a torpedo level with it.

Pros
  • Confidence inspiring
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Works almost perfectly

This is better than not using a template as the single band is too wide. But it's easy to set up once you get used to it. I offset the template 1/8 inch and narrowed the width a bit before making the final mark. At least for the boxes that I use anyway.

Pros
  • Templates Made from CNC-machined Bakelite.
Cons
  • Very expensive

Robust but inaccurate.

The built-in oscillating plumb/level indicator is not accurate enough for residential box cutting. I wish they would replace the level with a traditional style. One for horizontal and one for vertical alignment. This is a good template, but you must use a torpedo level with it.

Pros
  • Lightweight, fast, professional, low-voltage cutting template.
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Slight adjustment required

The only thing that needs to be changed is the bubble circle, it needs to be replaced with a horizontal axis bubble bubble and a vertical axis bubble bubble, the circle sucks when you using it on the wall it's hard to tell when it's perfect and that's really important when you're cutting outlets, especially when you're cutting the side of a kitchen island cabinet.

Pros
  • Improved type, there are 3 stencil sizes to meet your needs: Single (2 1/4" x 3 3/4" or 2 1/2" x 3 3/4") and Double (4" x 3 3 /4 inches). 3 3 /4")
Cons
  • Not bad but...
