Good quality paid great price. Did the trick pin I used this to drill holes for metal brackets to hang floating shelves.

Works well until the bit gets too hot. It expanded and was causing the bit too stick. I at first thought it was sulking already, but I figured out it was actually the steel collar (on the guide) that I guess the bit couldn’t fit smoothly near the top when it heated up (metal expands when hot) and it grinder a little. So NTS, use when cool.

I'm a woodworker, so kind of know what I'm doing. I used this jig to drill holes for my floating shelves, only to discover the holes were not 90 degrees. I checked the squareness of the jig with a mini square and it wasn't even close to square. I returned the item but my refund was denied because the item was used. AVOID THIS COMPANY.

I installed six floating shelves with this tool and it worked out great. The drill bit was certianly long enough for what I needed. Be sure to go out of your way to clear the wood chips especially so when you complete drilling the hole. A few times I did not clear the chips and I could not get the shelf to move all the way back to the wall.

I had no problems drilling the 6" deep holes at 90 degrees. The hole is drilled at the center of the shelf thickness regular less of the actual shelf thickness. Positioning the location of the hole along the length of the shelf is a little tricky. The jig doesn't have any indicators to help you with positioning. I was able to come up with a technic that work. I rated the "easy to use" at 3 instead of 5 because that type of position requires some thought for accurate positioning of the hole from the end of the shelf
