Customer Reviews: Avg. Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Better than drilling by hand, but not by much:
DON'T EXPECT MIRACLES: This was purchased specifically to put holes in round stock. The vees were not deep enough to hold 1" stock securely, but it sort of worked. However, the chuck was not centered over the vees, so holes were off position. The slide/chuck assembly has so much play it was not possible to hit a mark within +/- 1/4". I could have done much better without it. In short, this will not deliver anything close to an accurate perpendicular hole in anything. It will hold the drill in a pinch: The drill guide worked just well enough for what I needed to do. The drill bit does wobble a little bit on the rails since they are a little too small, so delicate work is not recommended. I used it to drill some plugs for filling screw holes, and it worked as long as I did not drill too deep. If I let the bit get too far the play between the bit and the frame was enough that the bit broke the plug while drilling. I would imagine with hole drilling it would be somewhat the same and a small drill bit may... Works well, especially for the price.: I used it with my Ryobi 110v and my Bosch LiOn, and it worked well each time. The springs are a little stiff, but removable, which I considered but didn't do. The chuck is fairly cheap and loosened once (I tightened it as tight as my fingers on the key allowed) but all in all, a good product that did the main thing I needed: allow me to drill holes that are highly perpendicular to the surface.
