Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bench Dog 10-016 Trim-Loc Casement Trim Installation Tool
Customer Review: this is not bad at all!
Summary: 5 Stars
although a couple of reviewers found this gadget a little useless, I found it very helpful, I do home remodel for a living & I own a lot of tools, I like to try every new product I see, this little device make doing casing very easy, It may be useless for the big time carpenter but for someone who doesn't do casing on a regular basis it works fine, at least it does work for me, I've done about 30 doors with it & it gets it right all the time...Customer Review: Works great but a lot of money for plastic
Summary: 4 Stars
Unlike many of the reviewers who bash this tool, I have actually used it and have made "perfect miters" with it. I am a professional woodworker and I do use it. It is handy for marking a reveal around door jambs and for making a perfect 45 degree reference line in the corners. The only problem I have with it is I was expecting it to be be metal and it was plastic. I have seen them in metal in stores and other reviewers referred to them as metal. The plastic works fine. It is just a lot of money for plastic. Customer Review: Very handy tool for hanging trim

Not being a professional trim carpenter, this tool really helped me do a good job trimming doors and windows. I read the negative reviews calling the tool useless--and it may very well be to an old pro. If you make your living trimming out houses, you're probably beyond this. I agree with the complaint about the lack of instructions. It took me a little while to figure out how to use it. Just examine the pictures and practice with some scrap, and you'll soon be rolling right along.Customer Review: Agree with pointless

This is a gadget. How much it will help you probably depends on your skill level. I do not know of a single pro-trimmer that uses this thing. Most pro-trimmers do not even use a tape measure for installing casings anyway, so this "toy" only adds a step. I highly doubt it will give you "perfect miters every time" so do not expect it will. Perfect miters are elusive to the best of us at times and it takes experience, skill, an accurate saw and a good blade, and a few installation tricks to to get the "perfect miter" that won't open up. Given that this tool ranks #4 in sales must mean something, but I would not expect it to deliver on all it claims it can do for your casing work. Bench Dog is makes some excellent products but I am not so sure of this one.Customer Review: does its job

This tool does exactly what it claims to - gives you a perfect reveal every time, and beautiful mitre joints. I ordered this a little while ago, and just had a trim job to do. Now, I'm ordering another one for my partner!
