Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bench Dog 10-016 Trim-Loc Casement Trim Installation Tool
Customer Review: Pointless and useless
Summary: 1 Stars
This gadget is available in both plastic and metal. The one Amazon ships is plastic. For about 3 bucks it would be an OK novelty. Here is why it's useless. The only thing it does is to hook the end of your tape with a 3/16" offset to account for the reveal, when you measure the inside dimension. You still have to add 3/16" to the measurement for the reveal at the other end. If you can add 3/16, you are certainly capable of adding 3/8". And you don't need any tool for that, just measure the inside of the jamb. The other "feature", the reveal guide, is already in every carpenter's tool box. It's called a step or trim gage, and it's adjustable for ANY reveal. The Bench Dog is for 3/16" reveal only. Customer Review: GREAT!

Another time saver. I use this instead of setting up my combination square every time I trim out doors and windows. A great little extra every carpenter should have!Customer Review: Trim Installation Tool

This is a great device, living up to all its promises. Simple, functional and well constructed. Well worth the price, and more!Customer Review: Speed up the process
Summary: 5 Stars
If you work alone and install trim...get this. The slots are perfect for holding your tape in place for ensuring accurate measurements before making a cut. I also like the fact that all reveals are uniform by simply placing the tool on the jamb and not having to constantly take your tape out. Very easy to use and figure out from the pics on the packaging.
Customer Review: Bench Dog needs no new testimonials
Summary: 5 Stars
Bench Dog needs no new testimonials as to their quality standards, for it is a well-known fact that they eat, breathe and dream about wood.
But, if you are a professional trim carpenter that has the task "nailed down" and all the experience in the world, this little old tool will give aid in speed of accuracy. Go ahead and buy it!
And, if you are a DIY carpenter who wants to emulate high quality professional results without necessarily possessing all the in and outs of the trade, it is a must have tool.
Of course, if you are the type who has to have all the cool top-shelf tool toys made, well, then this is a must have.
Lastly, if what you are looking for is a high-tech devise, forget it. If you are looking for a tool that will make your half-ass lazy work look good, forget it. If you're looking for a tool that will make your alcohol soaked brain . . . and job error free, forget it.
