Review: Stop Thinking, Just Buy It ! - This is one of the essential tools in the world, and I wish that I would have bought one a half century ago. I’ve just finished a project made entirely of hard red oak that required precision drilling and this tool worked flawlessly. The tool fits inside my drill’s own storage case, and shows no signs of wear from using it after twenty or so 5/16” holes. Highly recommend!
Review: Great tool, with some 'hidden' uses.. - I bought this drill guide about a year ago to use for its intended purpose, and I've been very pleased with the results I've gotten with it in various projects. It really is a big help when I need to drill/align a few holes and getting to my drill press is not feasible. I see some reviews on here indicating that a few users have experienced problems with either getting it positioned correctly and/or keeping it in place during the drilling operation. It's important to realize that this is guide....and not a drill holder. So my advice...(and there is NO charge for this...[G!].)....is to follow the suggestions about placement carefully...use the guide marks on the side and end, and if needed, scribe two additional lines at right angles through the dimple you have made for the exact spot and then line the guide up with those scribed lines. A 'double check' by looking down through the correct hole will verify if you are right on the money. The hint about shining a flashlight through the V-groove to light up the marked spot is a good idea, as is the technique of sliding the drill through the appropriate hole, placing the bit end on your marked spot, then lowering the guide down to your work. At that point everything should be ready to go....but for a final check, remove the bit and visually sight down the hole...if you are even slightly off the mark, it will be very obvious. When starting to drill, trust the guide to get your drill bit started....take it slow, don't apply any side force to the drill, try to relax your grip on the drill so that it does not put any pressure on the sides of the guide....all the while keeping a firm grip on the guide. Clamping it is THE way to go with this, but if done correctly, there should be close to zero torque applied to the guide itself. A few people have remarked that they were unable to drill longer or deeper holes due to the size of the guide. Once you have the hole started, you can remove the guide, re-insert the drill and bit back into the correctly aligned hole and drill to the full depth of your bit. In addition to the 'normal' use for this guide, I've found it very helpful in a few other 'non-traditional' applications. When I am trying to decide what hole size and bit to use for a wood screw, I use the guide holes of this tool to find the outside diameter of the wood screw and then select a drill bit a size or two smaller...depending on the wood involved. It's a lot easier and more precise than trying to hold a bit alongside the screw threads and make a guess about how big...or small...the bit needs to be. This is also the easy way to identify the actual drill size of that bit that you picked out of the junk drawer and wondered what size it really is.... I've also used this tool to help make perfect 90 deg. joints with plastic rods that I needed to glue with Super Glue (CA). Since you have just a few seconds to position the rod or tube before the CA starts to set up...and the joint needs to be held perfectly still during this 10-20 second period, I use the guide to get my alignment accurate, apply a small amount of CA to the end of the rod/tube, slide it through the guide quickly and it goes into perfect position where I can apply pressure for the set-up time and not have to worry about any wobble on my part. Some caution needs to be used when doing this so that you don't glue everything together....but that's part of the challenge...!!! The truth of the matter is that if you are using so much CA in your joint that this might happen, then you probably are using too much CA in the first place. And...since this guide is moderately heavy....just under 1/2 pound, it gets used occasionally as a weight during gluing operations.
