Review on πŸ› οΈ Precision Drill Punch Locator: Ultimate Cabinet Hardware Jig and Drawer Pull Guide for Woodworking and Drilling Dowel Holes by Brian Nicholas

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Strange size, takes forever to install

Great concept, not so good execution. The biggest issue I had was that the little blue sliders are not a standard size, especially the end piece you use to secure the mount left to right. It's almost impossible to line it up using the ruler as a guide. I ended up having to do all the measurements on the jig manually, which is no faster than measuring on the body itself. It would be nice if there was an unnumbered section of length at the end of the ruler so you can zero the end to true, though that does not exist. They work with a non-zero number, which isn't bad, but then again, the slider is an odd size, so pronouncing it in one-inch increments was too difficult. It took me longer to assemble a cabinet than hand-drilling most of the holes. If you use it a lot and also have a significant number of same sized cabinets, you can deal with this quickly and make up for some time, but for one-time use better use a speed square and masking tape.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
