This is a Dead Center Hole Locator for Locating Engine Mounting Holes. Great Planes Dead Center Hole Locater is a tool that should be in every modeler's toolbox. The tool is extremely easy to use. Simply press its self- centering alignment cone into the mounting hole with the engine positioned on the motor mount and give the handle a few turns, the sharp drill tip leaves perfectly centered marks every time].

At first I didn't like this tool. Instructions say to use two hands to place it in the hole, then push down on the the spring-loaded knurled top shaft to shove the drill bit out of the bottom, then twist from the top, theoretically marking the spot (or setting a pilot hole) where you want to ultimately drill the holes. After realizing there was no way I could drill even a slight pilot hole in the engine mount by hand, I put the tool in my cordless drill. The knurled section clamped into the cordless drill-chuck nicely.The tool is super lightweight and flimsy, but I was careful not to push too hard, and I was able to drill 4 perfectly aligned pilot holes.

Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Easy to use. Finally my blind buts line up perfectly with engine mount holes. Have already found several other uses for it too.Would be nice if the drill bit wasn't able to slide out. Not a big deal. Doesn't happen during use or anything, just once when I dropped it I was on my hand and knees looking for the spring.
