4.0 out of 5 stars Professional Locksmith, November 21, 1999
By William D. Pike (Granbury, Texas u.s.a.) - See all my reviews
I use my tools as a professional, installing as many as 4, 6 or 8 installations a day. I have had my lock installation tool for about a year and a half. This tool is well thought out for complete start to finish work in the most efficient way. It is more economical than some tools I have used but performs as well. It is more expensive than economy kits offered at some local lumber/hardware stores but is much more efficient and durable. In my demanding use my tool set is now showing considerable ware but I have been able to buy replacement parts as necessary. Dislikes: 1.) I find the 1" boring bit too agressive at times. I see doors of many differant materials from day to day. When trying to get a fine finish on your job, this augger bit really bites in making it hard to control, and sometimes produces splintering or cracks that deface an otherwise beautiful job. 2.) The 2 1/8' boring bit wears (Dulls) rapidly, especially if you hit the occasional hidden nail or screw. In my area I have had no luck finding someone setup to resharpen them. replacements are expensive.

I would buy this tool again.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, May 5, 2003
By Troy McLain (Thayne, WY United States) - See all my reviews
I purchased this item expecting to be able to use it on a job that required pre-hanging a houseful of doors. I was very disappointed. It would not perform even to minimum standards and I had to purchase a different brand of jig in order to complete the job. The plastic houseing was of very poor quality. I would recommend anyone considering this item to re-think their purchase.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is junk!, June 19, 2003
By William Weatherwax (St. Croix, USVI) - See all my reviews
I bought this piece of junk and built 5 doors. I used this toy to bore the holes. It's made out of plastic! It split wood out on the other side of the door! It caught on itself and buggered up the jig! This is a toy for use by the non professional. I am very dissatisfied with this Boring Jig. If you want a good one, Templaco Tools Inc. or Kwiklocks.com or just get one that is not made out of plastic!
