ShineUs Power Tool Punch Locator & Drill Guide Sleeve Cabinet Hardware Jig/Template - Perfect for Wood Drilling & Dowelling

Benjamin A.: The tool works as advertised. As long as you make sure the screws are super tight. Test on a scrap piece of wood prior to drilling into the doors. The one negative is I bought the product with the aluminum box. The first one came in the plastic box. So I returned it. Quick and easy. But the second one came with a plastic case too.

D. Hart: This tool is excellent! Having used one made by a different company, I saw this one for a reasonable, but not cheap, price.

I was very excited when I received the package, especially because it actually does come in a padded carrying case. However, the case is made out of a cheap plastic, and one of the securing tabs was already broken when I opened the package.

Working for a cabinet company, I do a lot of different things, so I wasn't able to use the tool immediately. Once I was able to utilize it, it worked very well! However, as the title of this review indicates, the utility of the tool depends on the fabrication.

Some draw backs I immediately noticed were that the securing fasteners on tool did not stay tight, keeping the tool from sliding along the ruler, unless tightened by a wrench. Hand tight did not cut it.

Also, on the second day of use, the entire middle portion would no longer tighten at all, with the slot where the fasteners screw-in stripped.

Also, part of the tool is made with aluminum, which dents very easily. Also, out of the package there were some sharp and dented edges, and I noticed sometimes it would dig into the cabinet...

dg50484dg50484: This is a really great tool if you think like a novice. This is the very first time I’ve done this and it went perfectly. I put the steps below, along with four separate images, on how I did this. I mean no disrespect to the pros out there, but I simply ignored the measurements on the tool. As a matter of fact, if they didn’t put any markings on this tool, it would still work great for what I was doing. The important part is the set-up, which took me about ten minutes. After that, it took me about twenty minutes to install seventeen handles. That’s about one every minute. Really – you’ll be amazed.

Step 1: The SET-UP - Using just your hand, position your hardware where you want it and mark off the bottom on three sides with painter’s tape (see the image). I had pulled three pieces of tape off the roll and stuck them to my forearm before I got started.

Step 2: Find the center between the pieces of tape on each side and mark that spot. I used a cross marking (see image). DON’T think too much into it. Don’t worry about exactly where the screw hole is. Just make a mark and move on.

Step 3: Align the bottom guide hole with the marking you just made...

DNDN: 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...

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