 It will hold the drill in a pinch November 18, 2008
The drill guide worked just well enough for what I needed to do. The drill bit does wobble a little bit on the rails since they are a little too small, so delicate work is not recommended. I used it to drill some plugs for filling screw holes, and it worked as long as I did not drill too deep. If I let the bit get too far the play between the bit and the frame was enough that the bit broke the plug while drilling. I would imagine with hole drilling it would be somewhat the same and a small drill bit may break. If I had space I would buy a full-size drill press but attaching this to a piece of wood worked for now.
Works well, especially for the price. September 19, 2008
I used it with my Ryobi 110v and my Bosch LiOn, and it worked well each time. The springs are a little stiff, but removable, which I considered but didn't do. The chuck is fairly cheap and loosened once (I tightened it as tight as my fingers on the key allowed) but all in all, a good product that did the main thing I needed: allow me to drill holes that are highly perpendicular to the surface.
 Just as represented. May 22, 2008
Every thing it was supposed to be. A great little handy aid in aligning your drill for a perfect job.
Surprisingly useful February 27, 2008
This guide would not replace a drill press. But it will definitely help with keeping the drill square to the surface, and there is an area where it is actually works better. Try drilling a hole square to the wall overhead with your drill press !
For more precise drilling, you want to drill a pilot hole, use a brad bit, and go slowly. Again, it's not a drill press, but it is definitely an improvement over drilling freehand.
On a negative side, the guide has somewhat excessive play in the chuck, and a tight fit for larger (corded) drills.
Better than doing it strictly "by hand" -- but just barely. January 13, 2008

A bit of perspective: I work overseas and am somewhat limited in the tools I can bring, because of weight. I do woodworking strictly 1)to relax, 2) fix things and 3) make practical things for my dwellings (storage shelves, window boxes, etc.) In the States I like to do "fine woodworking" but overseas I'm content to just recycle the shipping crates my household effects come in and make my life a bit more comfortable.
I wasn't expecting much out of this tool as I'd read the other reviews, and I got about what I expected.
The tool is well made with features for edge drilling a plank, or for drilling dowels. The sturdy feel is comforting.
The big downside is that the plastic "nuts" that hold the rails in a vertical or other position have a tendency to give, thus there is play in the drill bit. I wish they had used metal to give the device more rigidity.
On the plus side, the holes are vertical and I'm saving time by not having to keep my eyes on the two levels that come built into my Ryobi cordless drill. The time saving is worth the price of the tool.
If you think you need a drill press, though, GET A DRILL PRESS. This is a poor-man's substitute.
