Quality


The product was very high-quality and will probably last forever.


I love the fact that the guide gholes are on both sides, i dont have to drill, reposition, repeat 4x.


After drilling one side, we flipped, lined up with the pencil mark again and drilled the opposite side.


We dabbed a small amount of wood glue to the axle before inserting the final time, because the holes seemed to be getting loose...  Read More

Price


Less expensive than the pin bending jigs, and allows you to use straight pins.


For a couple of $$, i managed not to teach any youngsters any new four letter words.


Even though i was reluctant to spend $20 on this, i now wish i had bought it a few years ago!


A bit pricey, but if you are doing multiple cars or have multiple kids, this is a useful item.

Competitiveness


We lost to competitors who used turned wheels and raised 4th wheels.


Boys won 1st and second place at their pack pinewood derby as well as 1st and 6th at the district race.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I can’t imagine being able to drill if the basic holes accurately without this or a well equipped tool room


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    To move on to trying to drill the canted holes and rail rider configuration without this fixture would surely have me tearing out my hair


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If i could give one suggestion on the next super deluxe model have clamping ability built right in though i understand doing something like that would probably make this specialized tool cost prohibitive for most people


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Did not improve performance of any of the cars it was used on


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However my daughter and i cut our car bodies down to 1434 tall and this tool will not drill a raised wheel in a body that thin


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Not hard to use but recommend clamping as others have said which helps to keep the block stationary especially for a younger child trying to do the drilling


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The drill bit fit perfectly and when set up correctly drilled a straight hole


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This made inserting the axels easier though they were still snug as not to wobble
