this is my least favorite. As many have mentioned

I have all the different Kreg lights. All of them make assembling cabinets much faster and easier. But of all I like that the least. As previously mentioned, the minimum depth of a 35mm hole that can be drilled is 1/2 inch, and the closest you can drill to the edge of the door with a 3mm setting is often too far. If you want the hole closer to the edge you can get there with a thin strip of wood or a piece of sheet metal between the gray stops and the door. If you only want to drill 7/16"…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Upgradeable

Purchase required to install Soft Close Hinge

Required to install Blumotion Compact Soft Close Hinge 38N355BE08x20S 1/2" with Blumotion Pad, Nickel Finish (20-pack), if you are not a carpenter or are replacing previously installed soft close hinges the instructions are great and can't be found if you just buy the hinges the instructions say to install 3" from the bottom or the top but I have this bracket with me placed on a 2" batten which allowed me to place this new hinge in the same place as the original hinge and use the same original…

Pros
  • Free for educational use
Cons
  • Legacy

Almost Perfect - Cabinet Hardware

I used a Kreg hinge tool to make a custom sized concealed bathroom mirror in walnut. I bought a jig to cut the correct holes as well as the depth required to mount some of the Blum soft close hinges. in walnut for my mirror. I used a 1/2" cordless drill to make the holes. The drill bit is sharp enough to cut through walnut and oak without chipping, just let the blade do its job. Hard plastic rather than metal. I know the cost of the device will go up if they make this change but it will be…

An excellent conductor made of euro loops is that easy!

My husband and I watched several videos of people using this device and were very hopeful but skeptical of how easy it was. But since we love Craig, we decided to give it a try for our next build, a closet with a giant door. We used to make recessed doors and hanging perfectly with hinges around the hinge was awful. Now we had to use euro/hidden hinges so we could adjust the door to uneven floors or something. But who wants to try to poke a cup hole in a beautifully finished door? What if I…

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • There are even more interesting options.

Suitable for limited project not professional quality

Update: Yesterday I used this jig again for 20 more loops. The bit seemed sharp enough that I used the same "left" clamp and Vix bits for the screw holes. I would say I got my $30. I read another review that discussed the attachment not cleaning wood chips very well. I agree that it isn't, and it's a minor issue, but overall I still think this device has worked well for my projects. Original review: I had to put hinges on 20 doors and this bracket worked fine. I was too lazy to use 2 clamps on…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Fits

Made my project easy!

I am so grateful that I ordered this lure. I built the closets in the hallway and used hidden soft close hinges. This jig made installing these hinges so easy. First, I'd like to address that I read several reviews that said the plastic holding the drill was deformed by the heat of the drill. I can only imagine that these people lined up a whole series of doors and drilled holes almost quickly, but even then I can't imagine how they positioned the jig and chucked it in so quickly that the drill

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Small change

Great tool - helps a lot with Euro-Hinges

I wanted to replace the old ugly hinges with nice soft close recessed Euro-Hinges but the woodwork required was quite difficult for those who don't. have a shop or tools. I read the reviews of this device and looked at the very detailed instructions online and then ordered it. I am very happy with the device and how well it works! Using this tool I've replaced a total of forty hinges on 20 different doors in a few days and never had a problem. The bracket has pre-drilled holes for mounting…

Pros
  • Easy Install
Cons
  • So So

I used several Kreg tools to punch holes in the pockets and lay out the pins. They have served their purpose well. Overall, the Hidden Loop light is a pretty well designed light with plenty of room for improvement. Below are some suggestions and one main complaint. This attachment has limited flexibility. Spacing dials (grey dials) are limited to a full millimeter spacing at 3, 4, 5, and 6 millimeters. As another reviewer pointed out, accuracy sometimes requires half a millimeter. I believe…
