Power Tools Punch Locator, Drill Guide Sleeve Cabinet Hardware Jig for Installation of Handles, Knobs on Doors and Drawer Pull-Blue Plastic Box

Surprisingly well made (for the low price). Comes with a soft case; nice! Did not work for me. My cabinets and drawers have raised features, so this guide can not sit flush. There aren't any guides available that will work in this situation. I had to use a ruler and a square and measure offsets for holes. Pain in the butt.

Each side hole is off by 2mm in 10 cmI made the holes for the handles in my very expensive cabinets and now I need to replace one of the fronts DO NOT BUY!

The jig works well, adjusts easily, sturdy enough. All in all I like it. It comes with a zippered case to protect and store all the pieces when not in use.The metal cross bar has English on one face and metric on the other. Just flip it over. The drill guides slide along this bar and are locked in place by set screws.The plastic vertical bar has only metric markings. You could probably glue an English measurement ruler on the back - like a paper or cloth seamstress tape, or few inches from a carpenters tape measure.The guides are about 1/4" thick brass inserts, Enough to position a center punch or drill, but not enough to really guide the drill to make a true 90 hole. Don't rely on this to ensure straight holes.Ideally, you'd use this jig to mark or punch the positions for the holes, then use a drill press or other guide to bore the holes. Hand alignment of the drill with the drawer already in the cabinet also works.

After messing up two cabinet pulls with my homemade jig (one not perfectly spaced and one not fully plumb), I decided to purchase this jig. Seriously, why did I wait so long!!!??? I have remodeled 3 kitchens in the last two years and if I had know that this jig would be so handy, I would have bought it two years ago.A few reviews mentioned that the spacers moved on them because the set screws did not fully tighten. I did not have that problem, but I did check the accuracy a couple of times when I bumped the jig during use. I also marked on the jig with a marker (a tiny mark) so I could tell with a glance that it was still in the correct place. The jig I purchased has the stainless steel ruler so a quick wipe with some rubbing alcohol took my ink mark right off.The jig doesn't have any instructions, but at the same time, I am not entirely sure that you need them. I simply put the cabinet pull screws through the bushing holes and attached my pull to the jig to get the placement set up and then tightened down the set screws. Since the bushings are made of metal (brass?) I used them for my drill guide and had no problem. I do recommend using clamps to hold the jig in place rather than trying to hold it with your hand while you drill.Using this jig I was able to correct the two cabinets that I messed up in a way that makes it not noticable to anyone without taking off the cabinet pull - which make me very happy. I also was able to move along much more quickly than I could using my homemade jig. I like this jig so much that I recommended it to my handyman brother-in-law who purchased it and is also very happy with the purchase. He said he was able to install the pulls in his kitchen in half the time that it usually takes him.If you are on the fence, go ahead and make the purchase, I think you will be happy you did.

I was so glad I found this nice little device. After refinishing my kitchen cabinets I was dreading putting the new pulls on, and getting them all on straight and lined up nicely. This tool was easy to set up and made the job super easy. It might have been nice to have some included instructions, but look at the picture on Amazon its pretty straight forward, and will make your job so much easier

I did some remodeling in garage and installed new cabinets. I needed to install 25 handles and thought this will come in handy and will save some time.I didn't expect this to be inaccurate and installed the first handle w/o checking the accuracy as I didn't expect it not to be accurate.Once installed the first handle, couldn't believe and suspected that I did something wrong. Next iteration didn't drill but marked with pencil and then measured with scale and it was the device not me.Finally resorted to old school method of measuring, marking and drilling.2 bad and 23 perfect handles.I am sharing some pictures to show the issue. Look at the images with "6 7" and "7 6", on the bottom side of "6 7" the marks visible are shorter than the marks on "7 6" and this is the issue.May be I got a bad egg but this is what it is. I am also attaching the pics of handles installed by this jig and the ones that I installed old school method.(don't see an option to add pics)

Awesome very easy to use and the best thing I could have ever used to install cabinet hardware like a pro

All measurement marks/increments were a good 1/16" to 3/32" off center on the vertical rule drill guide. Horizontal rule was perfect. Could also use an additional screw clamp on the vertical slide instead of only relying on the one.Ordered replacement. Will see if the new one fares better.Review Update: downgraded to 2 stars. Replacement jig was still off by about 1/16". This is unacceptable and I won't attempt another replacement. A person should be able to set the square at desired measurement and be done, but unfortunately this isn't the case and is inaccurate. This requires time consuming setup and isn't worth it.

Drilled holes for 290mm handle and the holes were off by 3mm. Used a square to check and the jig is off by a small degree, which over 290mm is a big deal. Do not buy if you are looking for perfectly symmetrical holes.

Yet to try but looks similar to the one I use at work for way less then the work one cost.
