So disappointed
"The cam basically melted and became useless while trying to dial to a 6. One side worked fine, the other just melted like I was using a philips screwdriver in butter."

"The cam basically melted and became useless while trying to dial to a 6. One side worked fine, the other just melted like I was using a philips screwdriver in butter."
"The first time I used it; worked great but only had one door to do. Today, I started to work on some base cabinet doors, got the jug out and I could not get the cam on one side to slide to the #6 slot. The cam screwdriver slot practically disintegrated while trying to turn the cam to that setting, the plastic is so soft, didn’t hold up at all. Literally the 2nd time this jig was to be used. So disappointing and of course way past purchase date to get a replacement or refund from original purchase place."
"This jig works great and takes out the guess work when installing the hinges. I would say it is idiot proof, but then someone would just make a better idiot. This along with other guides made building and mounting cabinet doors easy."
"I feel quite confident of the final results when I use this jig. Especially to end with straight drilled holes, since I have no bench drill"
"Tool works amazing only thing is with time the tool melts"
"I love the ease of use on this thing. As long as you know your measurements and overlay, this jig does all the work and the hinges are spaced perfectly every time."
"Easy to use need to make inch marks a different color"
"Never installed these-type hinges before, but purchased this jig as I had built new, shaker doors (replacing stock cabinet doors) to give our kitchen a "new" look. This jig made the drilling simple, repeatable, and easy to do. Forstner bit cut through wood easily (both poplar and pine) with no tear-out, etc. At the right depth as well. Highly recomend this product."
"Bit didn't cut so much as burn the hole into the door material (hard maple), and bit guide literally melted down after 5 hinges. Not up to normal Kreg standards. Why on earth does the bit guide not have a metal bushing for the bit shank like, say, the pocket hole jig?"
