NOBODY WANTS A USELESS HOLE
Not sure what kind of metal this is made from but it's a solid piece of hardware, a lot harder than I expected. Although I've not attempted it, I imagine it would be pretty difficult to drill through this thing unless you had the proper equipment (not that you'd want to - but the point being your drill bits aren't going to hurt it). The numbers on it are not always easy to read, but it works well for drilling straight holes. There's a V groove on the bottom so it sits onto round objects or cylindrical stock or outside corners. It has lines on it that correspond with the guide holes so you know exactly where you're drilling. Although the lines are helpful, I wish they were darker and deeper to make them easier to see. Personally I just eyeball it. Over all, this tool works as advertised and does what it's supposed to do. I like it, find it satisfying, and I'm sure I'll use it a lot. You can't break this thing, or wear it out and without a doubt, it'll be around long after I'm gone. Happy drilling.

    Awesome tool to add to my box. This is exactly what I need to complete an engine block thread repair.
  • Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2016
    I bought this drill guide about a year ago to use for its intended purpose, and I've been very pleased with the results I've gotten with it in various projects. It really is a big help when I need to drill/align a few holes and getting to my drill press is not feasible. I see some reviews on here indicating that a few users have experienced problems with either getting it positioned correctly and/or keeping it in place during the drilling operation. It's important to realize that this is guide....and not a drill holder. So my advice...(and there is NO charge for this...[G!].)....is to follow the suggestions about placement carefully...use the guide marks on the side and end, and if needed, scribe two additional lines at right angles through the dimple you have made for the exact spot and then line the guide up with those scribed lines. A 'double check' by looking down through the correct hole will verify if you are right on the money. The hint about shining a flashlight through the V-groove to light up the marked spot is a good idea, as is the technique of sliding the drill through the appropriate hole, placing the bit end on your marked spot, then lowering the guide down to your work. At that point everything should be ready to go....but for a final check, remove the bit and visually sight down the hole...if you are even slightly off the mark, it will be very obvious.

    When starting to drill, trust the guide to get your drill bit started....take it slow, don't apply any side force to the drill, try to relax your grip on the drill so that it does not put any pressure on the sides of the guide....all the while keeping a firm grip on the guide. Clamping it is THE way to go with this, but if done correctly, there should be close to zero torque applied to the guide itself.

    A few people have remarked that they were unable to drill longer or deeper holes due to the size of the guide. Once you have the hole started, you can remove the guide, re-insert the drill and bit back into the correctly aligned hole and drill to the full depth of your bit.

    In addition to the 'normal' use for this guide, I've found it very helpful in a few other 'non-traditional' applications. When I am trying to decide what hole size and bit to use for a wood screw, I use the guide holes of this tool to find the outside diameter of the wood screw and then select a drill bit a size or two smaller...depending on the wood involved. It's a lot easier and more precise than trying to hold a bit alongside the screw threads and make a guess about how big...or small...the bit needs to be. This is also the easy way to identify the actual drill size of that bit that you picked out of the junk drawer and wondered what size it really is....

    I've also used this tool to help make perfect 90 deg. joints with plastic rods that I needed to glue with Super Glue (CA). Since you have just a few seconds to position the rod or tube before the CA starts to set up...and the joint needs to be held perfectly still during this 10-20 second period, I use the guide to get my alignment accurate, apply a small amount of CA to the end of the rod/tube, slide it through the guide quickly and it goes into perfect position where I can apply pressure for the set-up time and not have to worry about any wobble on my part. Some caution needs to be used when doing this so that you don't glue everything together....but that's part of the challenge...!!! The truth of the matter is that if you are using so much CA in your joint that this might happen, then you probably are using too much CA in the first place.

    And...since this guide is moderately heavy....just under 1/2 pound, it gets used occasionally as a weight during gluing operations.

    I bought this before I owned a drill press so for little jobs where I needed a fairly square angle of approach this was really handy. Still nice to have around when I want to drill pipe or some unique applications. Its hard and can handle the drill bits. Recommendation; spot your hole first, then slide the jig on the bit, place the bit tip on your spot, then slide the jig down as you square up your drill.

    A decent tool, but not what i expected.
    I was building a couple of utility tables and shelves that I wanted to be able to disassemble when we move. The idea was to make all the legs exactly the same size and when detached they could be assembled in any order.
    I tried using the guide with just hand pressure to make the bolt holes, but it wandered or tilted when I started to drill. Clamping turned out to be more trouble than its worth for a quick and repeatable job. The guide is small and narrow and doesn't offer the support for drilling I would like.
    I wound up just eyeballing the holes for the bolts and then marking the underside with what piece went where. A better alternative is to make a sacrificial block of 2X4s on the drill press or using this tool and then be able to reproduce the drill pattern exactly.

    Excellent tool. Solid metal; should last a lifetime. However... don't make the same mistake as me and order this particular version unless you really intend to use it with imperial drill bits. A metric version is available from the same seller for the same price. Perhaps the product details could have made this a bit more obvious but no real harm done as I have managed to return this and order the metric one.
