Review on ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Precision Drill Punch Locator: Ultimate Cabinet Hardware Jig and Drawer Pull Guide for Woodworking and Drilling Dowel Holes by John Floyd

Revainrating 3 out of 5

You still have to measure twice!

I liked the ease of use of this template and the quick installation. The reason for the 3 star rating is that I think it would be better if the plastic was metal. You put pressure on the jig, especially when you first start, because you want to make sure it doesn't move when you pre-drill the pilot hole. The plastic will flex a bit, allowing it to move about a millimeter away from the door or drawer you're drilling through. Another reason for the three asterisks is that there is a deviation of about 5 mm when setting the measurement. Use the blue plastic ruler to set the depth of the door or drawer you are installing to. For example, let's say you have a 6 inch box and you want to install the hardware in the middle, i.e. 3 inches. You set the depth to 3" on the blue ruler, but due to the protrusion on the template, it is offset by 5mm. You actually need to set the depth to 3 inches and 5mm to get the correct measurements. Be careful when measuring twice and drilling once.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • So-so
