1.0 out of 5 stars
dissapointed,
By Charles Porter (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: General Tool 36/37 Accu Precision Drill Guide (Tools & Home Improvement)
As just an occasional crafstman, I had hoped to avoid buying adrill press by gettting one of these. Unfortunately, there is too much slop in the mechanism to keep the drill from wandering in even soft woods like fir. For 90 degree holes a limited number of sizes, a doweling jig is a better choice. (several nice ones listed here on amazon). If you need help drilling at an angle, you would be better off making an angled doweling jig out of wood. (of course you still have to be able to saw at an angle, but that's another topic) END

Dissappointed!,

This review is from: General Tool 36/37 Accu Precision Drill Guide (Tools & Home Improvement)
It is not steady for any work. I returned it the next day where I bought it from. You need to have a drill with 1/2" chuck but you can use only the drill bit upto 3/8". If you have a drill driver that accepts upto 3/8" bit you need to buy an adapter. If you want to use 1/2" drill bit you need to buy optional adapter again. This is ridiculous. The base is not steady enough for most work. It isn't built that bad. It looks nice but what is the use?

Buy Craftsman Instead,
By A Customer
This review is from: General Tool 36/37 Accu Precision Drill Guide (Tools & Home Improvement)
I bought both, but will be returning the General. The Craftsman equivalent, #967173, is built better. Unlike what a previous reviewer says, this particular Craftsman unit does not require you to remove the chuck from your drill. The bushing run out is similar on both units, with the Craftsman probably a little tighter - at least comparing the units I have. The Craftsman is also made of cast aluminum with much thicker and heavier support bars. There is also a spring return that should help press the unit against your work for added stability. There is a handle and more surface area on the base for holding the unit against your work and applying clamps. The General is made of injection molded plastic, and lacks all of the above features. Plus, I bought my Craftsman for the regular store price of about 27 bucks. Pretty no-brainer on this one.
