Wolfcrafttecmobil Mobile Drilling Aid I 4522000 I for Safe Mobile Drilling

Very good build and quality. Would recommend to any amateur who aspires to produce professional standards.

I bought this to get rod brackets for floating shelves perfectly perpendicular into the walls and then drill the corresponding holes in the back of the shelves perfectly straight. It did the job for the 10 brackets I had to mount.It's not professional grade kit and towards the end, one of the allen bolts that clamps the drill in place seems to have cross threaded as it wouldn't fully tighten - but that's easy enough to replace the next time I need to use it.Satisfactory bit of kit that didn't break the bank and will probably come in handy for something else at some point.

I am afraid that I fall into the same category as the other reviewers who feel that this drill stand could so easily be a lot better.The good news is that I purchased it specifically to line up the drilling of the mounting holes for some floating shelves and it performed this function well.There is a wide channel cut into the underside of the base. When you want to drill holes into the centre of a batten or edge of a plank/shelf you simply position it within this channel and twist the stand until opposite corners come in contact with the material and you are then automatically centred. The problem comes when you want to drill holes off centre into something a couple of inches wide. If the material sits in the channel, then you can not line up on an off centre hole, but because the channel takes up so much of the width of the baseplate, it is difficult to get the stand stable and square, which was the point of the stand in the first place. Studs that screw into the baseplate would do the centring every bit as well and could be removed when not required, leaving a clear baseplate.Like others, I found the securing of the drill to the stand messy, so that it is not something you would want to be taking on and off on a regular basis, unless you replace the exiting nuts and bolts with something more suitable.With a little more effort and probably a slightly higher cost, this could be an excellent accessory. Having done the job I bought it for, its going onto a shelf and I am not sure when it is going to come down again.

Doesn’t fit all drill types

Hi there, I hope this helps you :)1) During the first use of the depth setting function on the Wolfcraft Drill Stand, the depth stop snapped off during tightening and so deemed this function forever nonexistent - the whole part was made out of plastic. I suspect that had I been happy with the rest of this tool's performance, I would be able to find a way how to put together some steel tightening ring to replace/simulate this depth stop, or would have been happy to just use conventional, on the drill bit bit, depth stop attachments, but if you reed further you will understand why I do not waste my energy and time.2) All the plastic parts that are green on the photographs, are showing signs of "tiredness" after just a handful of uses. I presume that, would I have continued using this device, more parts would eventually snap off... A conjecture on my part but fairly probable given the signs (white cracking lines on the parts) and given the depth stop snap.3) Although one could use other methods of depth setting, and so still make a good use of this device as a 45 to 90 degrees "precision drill guiding helper" I wouldn't recommend it for the device is too flimsy to be precise. I have used it to help me drive wholes for dowel joint but, although being extra careful to ensure as close 90 degree accuracy as possible (I have even clamped thick boards on each side of my drilled piece to provide a wider platform for the drill base to lean on), the dowels did not drive in straight but skew and so the wooden parts could not be aligned and joined. It took me a lot of extra effort to adjust/re-drill the wholes manually in order to allow precise joint alignment (extra glue was needed as a result also). I was surprised that I have done much poorer job with the drill stand than previously without it. Admittedly, perhaps someone els will 'get along' with this tool better?Having tried it on 3 more jointing projects, with disappointing results, I have discontinued using this device and am looking into buying the joint genie instead - see link below - (although I can continue jointing manually I am seeking a precise device to speed up and simplify my job). I will let you know how the genie impressed me or not (as the case may be) in due course. See yea ;) Joint Genie Multi Professional Kit 6,8,10mm Dowelling Tool
