 Good tool for the money November 3, 2007

I had two doors to hang and couldn't justify the cost of a professional grade tool for the job. I bought one of these based upon postitive past experience with Irwin tools.
1. The hole guide works well for positioning the hole saws but is not strong enough to hold them on track if the operator doesn't start and maintain the saw perpendicular to the door face - you must be precise. It was easy to position and secure on the door. The hole saws and mandrel are of good quality and will outlast the rest of the tool.
2. The latch plate template and included 'router bit' work pretty well. I was able to cut nice looking, properly sized mortises with it. The instructions suggest turning the bit with a drill but I found that it cuts very slowly due to the low RPM. I chucked it in a rotary tool and that sped up the cutting considerably. The guide bearing on the bit is cheap and I would not expect it to last through many jobs.
3. The included hinge mortise template is sized for 3-1/2" hinges only. It is better than nothing if you haven't mortised hinges before but if you have a sharp chisel and a steady hand it adds no value to the kit. It would have been better if Irwin had included a template for the strike plate.
Bottom line: I you just have a couple of doors to install and work carefully, this is a good tool. It is not designed for production useage.
 Plastic jig doesn't do the job January 23, 2007

The plastic jig is way too wobbly for this kit to work well. Your best bet is to buy an installation kit with a metal jig. I ended up throwing this one in the trash.
