Tools and Hardware Reviews of Kreg NZ03 Magnetic Drawer Slide Mounting ToolCustomer Review: Pretty decent little jig Summary: 4 Stars1. The jig is really for retrofitting or installing slides in pre-built cabinets. If you're building from scratch do yourself a favor and mount the cabinet member of your slides pre-build.
2. Works absolutely fabulously for ball-bearing slides, i.e. Accuride, KV, etc. Couldn't work any better.
3. For european 3/4 extension slides, be careful. If the roller of the cabinet member isn't perfectly flush with the edge of the slide, the jig will hold the slide slightly out of alignment from front to back. Blum 3/4 extension slides in particular exhibit this problem. Once you've identified this little issue it's an easy thing to adjust for, but it can add a lot of time re-adjusting slides if you don't figure it out.
4. For undermount ball-bearing slides, again, works fabulously.
5. Will not work in any shape or form for undermount slides like Blum Tandem.
The next thing to be aware of when using the jig to retrofit new slides into existing cabinets is that it will set the slide square and perpendicular to the face frame...if there's any irregularity in the face frame, it transfers to the slide.
All in all, a time-saver, worth the money, but as with all tools learn its limitations.
Description of Kreg NZ03 Magnetic Drawer Slide Mounting ToolThe Kreg Magnetic Drawer Slide Mounting Tool simplifies the work of positioning your metallic slides to ensure smooth gliding drawer movement in cabinets. It uses the intersection of the cabinet stile and rail in face frame cabinets, and the cabinet side in frameless cabinets, as a reference point for positioning a slide perfectly parallel to the drawer opening. Simply place a metallic drawer slide into position on the base of the tool, which uses magnets to hold the slide in place, align the tool where the stile and rail meet, and drive the screws for a perfect alignment every time.
