King&Charles Cabinet Hardware Jig

I used this tool to replace the hardware on all our kitchen drawers and cabinets (50+ in total). The new pulls required different holes than the ones I was replacing, so I had to align the new fixtures to cover the holes for the existing pulls.Many of the new pulls had 3 screws and getting those properly spaced by measuring and marking each with a square would have taken forever and likely would have resulted in some "misses", given my limited carpentry skills. This tool made the job super easy and relatively fast, and I had no "do overs".I had some hesitation when comparing this tool to other more expensive options due to some of the parts being plastic, but it worked like a champ, and I have zero regrets not opting for one of the more expensive all-metal options. The jigs locked in place and did not move once set and I was able to install all of the pulls of the same size without further adjustment. I will note that rather than measuring the distance between the holes and using the scale on the ruler, I just used the mounting screws for the pulls through the jig holes to align the spacing and lock the jigs in place. To make sure I was properly aligned with the existing holes I needed the new pulls to cover, I inserted a punch through the jig into one of the existing holes, then set the depth gauge and that worked great.The spring-loaded punch made easily identifiable dents that made locating each hole easy. I used a Milescraft Drill Block to make sure I drilled the holes straight and true and I think that helped me keep all holes properly aligned and spaced. Just make sure your drill bit is long enough to go through the Drill Block and the cabinet or drawer.

Would definitely recommend. Super easy to use.

Intelligent et ingénieux facile a utiliser

I bought this tool because it was shown and described as the more expensive aluminium version. What arrived was the cheaper and inferior plastic version.Returned.
