This tool does not line up with the specs that come with the Zipbolts , the holes end up at the lower 1/3 of the 2 - 3/8 railing instead of dead center. Also, the tool moves all over the place even after you use a vice to help it stay still. This tool is a total waste of time and may end up costing you money.

, this is overpriced for what you get. The quality of the bits is poor. I ended up having to use my own forstner bit for the large hole, as the included one does not cut well. The hole size is wrong.

This made installing the Zipbolt hardware really easy. Without question worth the money - it helps reduce the risk of making tiny mistakes that end up costing you a lot of time. I really like the little pins that dig into the wood and hold everything in place.
