MAX Cabinet Hardware Jig - Install Long Pulls and Shelf Pin Holes - Made In USA - Hand Calibrated by True Position Tools

DIY'er, about 60 handles in the new house. I've used other jigs in previous little projects, this one works much better than those imo.First, the amount of thinking put into the design of this tool makes it worth its price. Very nice build, easy to read, well-thought out. Functionally, couldn't be easier to use once set up. The kit comes in a cheap box but works well.The tool does take some practice and testing. The main stop on mine was not true when tightened down. The tightening screw on this slide is off from center, which puts a twist when tightened. There are two set screws which need to be adjusted before going crazy drilling holes. I set a small speed square against the edges and got it pretty darn close. I would check squareness of tool after every few holes, and of course after adjusting for the next handle or door size.My handles were a bunch of different sizes for each different door. I set up the tool for size #1, marked each drawer/door to drill, then just drilled all that size. Then, set up the tool for size #2, do all the doors of that size. Once set, drilling holes is super quick. My first time using the tool I did 21 (4 different sizes, from 3" to 12") handles in 3 hours. My next dozen doors (next day) took about 30 minutes.If you have any handle greater than 7" on a cabinet door, or 11" on drawer, you will need the extended rulers. If you are gonna get this tool then you are likely not one to mess around. Get the expanded kit from the get go and don't get caught shorthanded. The expansion kit is more expensive later.I was able to do a 12" handle for a drawer front by offsetting the center mark then flipping the tool for each hole. But for handles on the doors I had to get the extensions.Overall a great tool for my collection, and worth more than its selling price for sure.(Handles in picture are also from Amazon, Koofizo brand, awesome handles).

OMG! This thing is a laboratory-grade piece of gear!! Is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely!!! I’m a basement/kitchen/bath remodeler for a living so it put in a several dozen cabinets every year. I should have bought this years ago. If you install bath or kitchen cabinets on a semi-regular to full-time basis, this tool will pay for itself quickly. And it’s so easy to use that it will save you tons of time (and time = money)! Don’t waste your money on the cheap crap from the big box stores. This tool is ROCK SOLID and will last a lifetime! Even the case is heavy duty, with metal latches and space for the extensions should you need them. It even comes with a quality drill bit. But this comes with everything else you need for 99.99% of the cabinet hardware out there, except of course a drill!UPDATE: I’ve been using this jig for months now and I want to change my original rating from 5 stars to TWENTY STARS! (But of course Amazon won’t let me!) Very precision device and very easy to use. My co-workers are no longer laughing at me for spending so much on it and now frequently ask to borrow it! If you regularly install cabinet pulls, you need this. It will save time and make you look like a PROFESSIONAL!

I'm someone who has always been willing to pay a "Premium" for high quality tools. I have to admit however, at $200 I was apprehensive about buying the True Position Cabinet Jig. Rest assured; this jig is worth every penny. It is extremely well made, easy to use and was perfect for the Shaker Style Cabinets I installed in my kitchen. There is no way the handles / drawer pulls would look as consistent from cabinet to cabinet as they do with the cheap plastic drill guide included with the handles. One of the features I liked most were the "Spacing Pins" included with the jig, to ensure the screw holes match perfectly with the hardware being installed. They also included a drill bit in the kit. So, if you're unsure about spending a little extra money...go for it. You won't be disappointed!!

Excellent, well manufactured product with clear, easy to follow instructions. I consistently drilled straight, accurate measured parallel holes for long pulls quickly. Made installing crystal knobs in the exact right place a breeze. Take the time to set the hole guides where they should be for any size pull, lock the placement with machined precision and it’s an excellent tool.Yes, it’s more $ than the plastic guides but if you want first-time, no mistakes high end results quickly this durable tool is the unit. And, its machined in the US. BTW, I paid full price for it.Perhaps not required for shorter cabinet pulls where being off plumb is not going to create an issue, but this is a superb product for accuracy and speed of install. I had to install some long pulls with narrow bases ( Alno A419-6-CHBRZ) on 42” painted cabinets. If the install is was off plumb on side by side by side doors or the pulls did not exactly match height it will be noticeable. With the A419s there is essentially no room for error. The base, where it touches the cabinet, is VERY narrow. Those how to videos that say use a bigger hole size to allow wiggle and adjustment would cause a hole that will be seen, especially as the handle shifts in daily use.Back to the unit, it even comes with a quality 5mm drill that fits the machined guides perfectly. The 5mm will be fine for most applications.But if you want finer precision, as I did for A419s, I used the tip of a 5mm bad point bit to lightly mark exact hole center. Removed the guide and used a 5/32 brad point for the actual screw hole. My old Ryobi 18V has a fairly accurate bubble level to guide level and by looking down on the drill I could keep the hole darn near exactly 90 degrees. With the holes marked exactly where there should be on all the doors and drawers, and tightly holding narrow bases with no slop, its quality.Summary: great tool – machined and marked well. Produces accurate results with any size pulls over and over quickly.
