Rockler vs Kreg - Drawer Slide Jig & Euro Hinge Jig?

[Patrick Irish]

Looking to add a full extension drawer slide jig. I fixed a router table I bought used and could have used one of these jigs to help align the guides in the box and on the actual drawer.

Any reviews on either?

The Kreg looks cool because it can be flipped around and used to mount the slides on the drawer box.

The Rockler looks cool because it has the top and bottom references tool and the magnet to hold the actual drawer extension.

Those tools shown are different purpose slide mounting tools. The Kreg tool is for attaching the slides on the drawer. The Rockler is for mounting the slides in the cabinet.

The kreg actually does both, helps mount the slides to the box and then flip the jig around and it helps rest the drawer on the jig which allows mount the slide portion to drawer box.

This way for the slides to box

I stand corrected. Had not seen them used that way.
