User Comments about the General Tools #841 Simple Dowel Kit

Got it today and put it to use right away. Would be perfect if there were a storage box came with it. Smart design, functional and accurate.

Nevertheless, the kit is precise and easy to get used to. This is a good kit for the money. The only drawback to this product is that it comes with only two of each size of dowel centers, which I ended up using often in my desk project. I did my dowel hole drilling very quickly. I would rather have used three dowel holes on the shelves, but was limited to two.

It looks to be well made but I found it difficult to keep properly aligned.All dowel jigs I have used are to some degree, problematic.The drill bit did not cut well either.It does not inspire confidence.

Worked as stated most of the time. Will use again. Sometimes the hieght would be off about a 32nd of a inch, alinement is cruical. Made very strong joints with some glue, Cant complain though.

This tool is made very well, it has alot of possibilites, with some patients and a good ruler and you will be a master at dowels.
