But that's fine. for mounting accessories

This mount earns 5 stars for its performance. Accurately and easily quickly drills a series of holes for bolts. The reason for the only 4-star overall rating is due to a few minor annoyances. First of all, the drill must be cleaned of wood chips after each drill hole. If you don't do this, the wood shavings will jam the spring loading mechanism and prevent the drill bit from retracting.

Pros
  • Please check the specifications to ensure this product meets the dimensional requirements of your project (UK or Metric)
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Fixing requires modification

Bought jig to drill holes in shelves for cabinet mounting. As other users have pointed out, the holes move 1/16" when the jig is flipped to the other side.

Pros
  • Allows you to mark locations for euro hinges
Cons
  • Not bad

Beware. This is the 1316 "B " model. Will not work with spare bit 2313.

I bought tool 1316 to build some built in shelves and bookshelves for my son's new house. After reading the reviews I thought it would be prudent to purchase a replacement tip and it was listed as commonly bought together. I received the stencil and everything was as expected. I opened everything up and put the bits in the case holder. Great idea to put everything together. When I started making the bookshelf I put the drill bit in my drill bit and immediately realized the ring was too big to…

Pros
  • Built in closed compartment for storing bits and index pins
Cons
  • Expensive
