Review on πŸ” Wixey Model WL133: Precision Laser Guide for Drill Presses by Osoulo Sharp

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Might be a contender

Seen on about 5 different sites, all with about 90 percent positive results. Fir is about the same price. So I ordered from Amazon Business Prime with free shipping for my 78 year old father who always had a hard time preparing detailed drill holes. He was the elite engineer in the office for decades, but he famously lacked the mechanics. I advised him to read the instructions based on the reviews. He installed it on his million year old bench drill in minutes and experimented with tricks etc. Within 15 minutes he was up and running and by the afternoon he was learning to drill his new areas. The only complaint he has made and it is minor and he is 78 years old. The lines are a bit thicker than the laser pad on his saw, so finding the exact center is difficult. And turn on and off. I can't stress enough the fact that he had this 0n and worked so fast that anyone else with any mechanical skill who can't install it should just hang on to it. We are very pleased to have received a working tool and are pleased with how well it fits into a full tool model. Maybe harder lasers cost more, I don't know. And for a dollar or two more, I'd happily pay for it to come with a switch attached. But hey, dad is excited and is now building a brand new switch panel for his van knowing all the switches will line up. Big. It's nice to receive a product that works as described (follow instructions carefully). these days and it's always great to make dad happy. Ordered one for my son after hearing about his from his grandfather. So this damn thing cost me twice as much money :) Happy drilling
