Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bench Dog 10-016 Trim-Loc Casement Trim Installation Tool
Customer Review: No instructions available.
Summary: 1 Stars
The package contains no instructions on how to use the tool, only a few pictures. It takes many trials and wasted trim pieces to figure out how you are to measure your trim using this tool.
The package instructs you to go to their website for more detailed instructions. The website has the exact same pictures as the package and no more instructions.
I emailed their support for further instructions and was informed none are available and they are working to develop them.
Buy a good square and tape measure instead. Adding 3/16" is not rocket science.
Customer Review: Handy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is handy especially if you work alone. Makes trim installation easier after you become familiar with it. Beware that the older model was made from quality aluminium and this is now a cheap plastic.Customer Review: My, how revealing.
Summary: 5 Stars
I grabbed one of these at a home center a while back. I was at first impressed by the look and feel of it. I have used it when installing trim, building cabinets, and doing layout. I genuinely find the tape measure slots handy because I do most of my work alone and find it difficult to accurately span a six foot opening wihout a lot of cuss'n, spitt'n and chew'n. Also, I think the orange color compliments my yellow tools.Customer Review: It is a lot more substantially made than it appears
Summary: 5 Stars
When I ordered the Trim Loc Casement tool, I thought it would be a flimsy lightweight unit. I was surprised when I received it that it was built out of such thick aluminum. It is protected with a baked on finish that should last. It is one of those simple tools that give you big consistent results. Trying to eyeball the casement trim offset won't give you the consistent professional results of this tool. I have several Bench Dog tools, and not one of them is less than best in class. They are decorated in many woodworking reviews, and this one deserves five stars. Highly recommended.
Customer Review: Saves time, increases accuracy
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't necessarily care about some of the features of this tool but for the one main thing it does it has become a "must" in my toolbox. It quickly and precisely locates casement trim when installing, making the job go more quickly and giving me more consistent reveals. Anything else it does is gravy.
