5 out of 5 stars Good for the money   June 24, 2010

Good tool for the money makes your cordless drill into a drill press without braking the bank


5 out of 5 stars Just as represented.   May 22, 2008

Every thing it was supposed to be. A great little handy aid in aligning your drill for a perfect job.


4 out of 5 stars Better than doing it strictly "by hand" -- but just barely.   January 13, 2008

A bit of perspective: I work overseas and am somewhat limited in the tools I can bring, because of weight. I do woodworking strictly 1)to relax, 2) fix things and 3) make practical things for my dwellings (storage shelves, window boxes, etc.) In the States I like to do "fine woodworking" but overseas I'm content to just recycle the shipping crates my household effects come in and make my life a bit more comfortable.

I wasn't expecting much out of this tool as I'd read the other reviews, and I got about what I expected.

The tool is well made with features for edge drilling a plank, or for drilling dowels. The sturdy feel is comforting.

The big downside is that the plastic "nuts" that hold the rails in a vertical or other position have a tendency to give, thus there is play in the drill bit. I wish they had used metal to give the device more rigidity.

On the plus side, the holes are vertical and I'm saving time by not having to keep my eyes on the two levels that come built into my Ryobi cordless drill. The time saving is worth the price of the tool.

If you think you need a drill press, though, GET A DRILL PRESS. This is a poor-man's substitute.






4 out of 5 stars Well made, but not a cure-all.   July 29, 2007

I like using this and it certainly improves the drilling and makes possible angles and such. It does take a little preparation, but for the money, it's an economic way to get good work done without having a drill-press. I'd also like to add that it is a little bulky, and I wasn't able to use it in a tight location like I'd hoped, but that simply means you need to plan for that.

This guide would not replace a drill press. But it will definitely help with keeping the drill square to the surface, and there is an area where it is actually works better. Try drilling a hole square to the wall overhead with your drill press !

For more precise drilling, you want to drill a pilot hole, use a brad bit, and go slowly. Again, it's not a drill press, but it is definitely an improvement over drilling freehand.

On a negative side, the guide has somewhat excessive play in the chuck, and a tight fit for larger (corded) drills.
