Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I use my tools as a professional, installing as many as 4, 6 or 8 installations a day. I have had my lock installation tool for about a year and a half. This tool is well thought out for complete start to finish work in the most efficient way. It is more economical than some tools I have used but performs as well. It is more expensive than economy kits offered at some local lumber/hardware stores but is much more efficient and durable. In my demanding use my tool set is now showing considerable ware but I have been able to buy replacement parts as necessary. Dislikes: 1.) I find the 1" boring bit too agressive at times. I see doors of many differant materials from day to day. When trying to get a fine finish on your job, this augger bit really bites in making it hard to control, and sometimes produces splintering or cracks that deface an otherwise beautiful job.2.) The 2 1/8' boring bit wears (Dulls) rapidly, especially if you hit the occasional hidden nail or screw. In my area I have had no luck finding someone setup to resharpen them. replacements are expensive.
I would buy this tool again.
