King&Charles Cabinet Hardware Jig & Automatic Center Punch Set.

I don't have need for this type of tool on a regular basis, and perhaps could have done the work without it, but it's a nice tool to have in reserve. Easy to put together, great instructions, well-made, versatile adjustability, and a nifty zip up bag to keep all the pieces together. Happy I made the purchase and will make a great "gift" when I pare down my toolbox.

You get a jig that adjusts quickly and accurately. Top-quality plastic, easy-to-read numerals, and a tool that will last for the homeowner. I'd even go further and say it can be used by a handyman pro or an individual. All at a price that will not break the bank nor add a huge amount to the project.

For the DIYer, this is a great jig for precisely locating your cabinet hardware with consistency. There are other more expensive versions out there, but they cost a lot more. This one worked as expected. It’s simple to set up. From the time I opened the box, it took less than 10 minutes to set it up for my first project. Probably would have been half that time if I had actually bothered to read the instructions. Once the jig is set up, marking the holes with the supplied spring-loaded punch is quick. You do need to take a little care with the punch as you can get it at an angle in the guide hole if you’re not careful. I like the method of only using the jig to locate the holes for the punch. The other versions out there show you drilling through the jig bushing. Trying to hold the jig, the cabinet door/drawer and the drill would be tricky. I pre-drilled the 11/64” holes with a 3/32” bit to ensure it stayed aligned with the punch marks. My first project was complete in less than 30 minutes from opening the box. I would definitely recommend this for the DIYer. The jig may not hold up long for the professional installer doing hundreds of pulls each year. I dinged this product 1 star because of the instructions. The product is made in China and the instructions are translated from Chinese (assumption). I see this all the time. The translators, probably software, do a poor job with the English language. The front cover of the instruction pamphlet is titled “Handle Cabinet Haroware Jig”. The next line says “Metric and Imoerial Double Scale”. Then key features are listed that include “Porous Measurement” and “Protable”. The back of the pamphlet says “How to Intall”. There are multiple grammar errors within the instructions as well. These are easily corrected if reviewed by someone that has English as the first language.

I used this tool to replace the hardware on all our kitchen drawers and cabinets (50+ in total). The new pulls required different holes than the ones I was replacing, so I had to align the new fixtures to cover the holes for the existing pulls. Many of the new pulls had 3 screws and getting those properly spaced by measuring and marking each with a square would have taken forever and likely would have resulted in some "misses", given my limited carpentry skills. This tool made the job super easy and relatively fast, and I had no "do overs". I had some hesitation when comparing this tool to other more expensive options due to some of the parts being plastic, but it worked like a champ, and I have zero regrets not opting for one of the more expensive all-metal options. The jigs locked in place and did not move once set and I was able to install all of the pulls of the same size without further adjustment. I will note that rather than measuring the distance between the holes and using the scale on the ruler, I just used the mounting screws for the pulls through the jig holes to align the spacing and lock the jigs in place. To make sure I was properly aligned with the existing holes I needed the new pulls to cover, I inserted a punch through the jig into one of the existing holes, then set the depth gauge and that worked great. The spring-loaded punch made easily identifiable dents that made locating each hole easy. I used a Milescraft Drill Block to make sure I drilled the holes straight and true and I think that helped me keep all holes properly aligned and spaced. Just make sure your drill bit is long enough to go through the Drill Block and the cabinet or drawer.

Had new kitchen cabinets installed and this device was very useful for installing door/drawer pulls. Especially for the drawers as they were varying heights. Helped to find the exact center of each front panel. Adjustable to accommodate various sized door pulls. The spring loaded punch was pleasant surprise: find the location for the holes, insert punch and push. Leaves indentation makes for where to drill. Over all a very practical appliance. May only use it this one time, but it makes the job quicker and easier, and helped me save $300 to $500 doing it myself, as opposed to a professional do the job.

I previously owned a True Position (TP) Tools Pro cabinet hardware jig, and it was awesome. It's easily the best tool out there for this kind of work. However, it is also VERY expensive. I sold it after I had finished installing about 80 knobs and handles because I didn't think I would need it again. It turns out, I was wrong. I had four more knobs I needed to install a couple of months later. Anyway, I didn't want to buy another TP for just four knobs, so I thought I'd try this instead. It's the same concept as the TP, but at a FRACTION of the price. This tool did everything I needed, and I'm glad I decided to buy it. That said, I don't know that I would want to use it if I had more than 20 or so knobs/handles to install. The TP tool allows you to drill directly with the jig in place, which makes things a lot easier and faster. I think you might be able to do that with this one, too, but I'm not sure how long it would hold up to that kind of use. I didn't really like that I had to punch the location of the hole before drilling, but, again, for a few knobs, it wasn't a big deal. So, bottom line, if you just have a few knobs or handles to install, this is a great, cost-effective option. However, if you have a large number to do, you may want to consider the TP. You can always resell it when you're finished with it, like I did.

Vertical ruler is plastic and all adjustable parts are plastic. Metal clamping screws don't have great tension and allow for alignment to out over the course of several cabinets. I installed 41 cabinet handles with this. Around 30 I realized that my measurements had slipped by a sixteenth of an inch. Back to the plastic though, not the best markings on the plastic to line it up. Good enough for the price but not a tool I'd recommend for someone who wants something quality in their toolbox.

I’m not a DIY expert, but this Jig made the whole process surprisingly easy. The jig is simple to set up, the measurements are accurate, and everything stays firmly in place while you work. Even as a beginner, I was able to install all my cabinet handles with confidence. The included automatic center punch is a standout feature. It marks the drilling spot cleanly and prevents the bit from slipping, which means no jitter, no crooked holes, and no wasted hardware. The jig feels sturdy, well‑built, and accurate, making the whole installation process faster and stress‑free. If you want clean, professional-looking results without the guesswork, I highly recommend this product. It’s a perfect set for home projects.

did what it said it would doo

Intelligent et ingénieux facile a utiliser

Would definitely recommend. Super easy to use.

I used this to do my shop cabinet door and drawer handles.....it all worked out well.....but I will say it's not the sturdiest jig. But with a clamp and a steady hand you can get good results. Personally I used the steel lined guide holes to drill directly with my bit without using the marking tool. I'm sure you could do either but just make sure you have a good hold on it and use clamps as the plastic can flex. I would guess on spread out handles using the full ruler it would be dicey without clamps. Secondly I didn't reply on the rulers simply because I use always measure with a dead accurate quality ruler. But I found the easiest way to determine your handle holes is to attach them to the jig and tighten down or lay beside the holes and center it by eye. This worked for me but double check everything prior to drilling.
