It does exactly as advertised. I had 10 drawers to install and installing the Blum undercount slides was so easy and perfect that it cut my installation time considerably. It is well worth the price to be able to install your slides so accurately.

Work exactly as they should
These made the installation of Blum drawer
Slides a breeze. The only thing they could do to make the jig better is have a built in bubble for leveling the jig

Better than expected
I had to replace a set of heavy duty, full extension drawer slides for a lateral file cabinet. The magnets are really strong and you don't have to worry about them holding your slide in place.

Awesome jig
I used this to install the Blum tandem drawer guides. This was like a third hand. Just put the hinge up to the drawer guide and the three strong magnets hold the guide in place. Then clamp to your cabinet face frame and your hands are both free to screw in the screws. It holds the drawer guide nice and aware to the cabinet. This is a great product.

I would recommend buying this tool it’s a little pricey but will save you lots of time if you have several drawers to install
If you want to save time and be accurate this is the tool for you . The magnets are very strong so it holds the slide in very tight and quick and easy to mount your slide.

Worth the money
This set up fixture worked exceedingly well. At first I was skeptical of spending the money, but after installing a couple of drawers, I quickly realized how much time it was saving on the install. I wished that I had found a friend with one first, but I guess now I’ll have to be that friend to someone else. Definitely worth the money though.

Great product
Installed a couple of slides prior to receiving this jig. Lots of measuring and checking without the jig...with the jig, almost idiot proof. Used a spacer to set the depth back from the face frame and it worked flawlessly.

I've got 14 drawers to put slides on and this will help save time. I'll also have it for future projects.

Do I need these in addition to the Universal Drawer Slide jig? What about the Undermount Drawer slide jig? I'm a confused newbie.
Rockler Undermount Drawer Slide Jig
BEST ANSWER: The Rockler Undermount jig is for undermount slides, typically Blum and the drawer sits on the slide. Totally different slide and install. Side mounts have 2 components, one attached to the drawer, the other to the cabinet. The Rockler Drawer Installation is to help install the drawer component in the correct position, the Universal Drawer Slide Jig is for the cabinet component.

Has anyone used this with Blum Movento slides?
How does this work for inset? It specifies it is set for a 2mm setback, which is for standard overlay. Blum Tandems actually specify a 3mm setback for standard overlay, so even that is off. This does not lend confidence to the product.
BEST ANSWER: This would work for overlay. There is a graduated scale on the side of the jig to line the slide up to the desired setback. It is true that the setback is incorrect, but I manually set the slide to 3mm with a steel rule - takes 2 seconds - before clamping the jig to the faceframe. That 2 seconds is more than made up for by the time I save not having to make jigs or draw layout marks in the cabinet. I did not have any problems with my jig being out of square, at least vertically. There is some side to side play so you should check that the slide is parallel before screwing off the back bracket. I always did that anyway with my old method so this isn't a negative to me. Overall very happy with this jig. Wish I'd have found it sooner.

This jig does work for flush (with face frame) drawers, correct? And does it set the clearance gap at the bottom at about 1/16"?
BEST ANSWER: I have used this his several times mounting Blum Tandom under mount glides on face frame cabinets. I have also used it with Chinese knock off under mount glides as well.

Does this work with inset drawer face applications?
BEST ANSWER: Yes, absolutely. It's actually easier to use this jig with an inset application because the interior case panel is typically flush to the edge of your face frame. This will be a big help.

BEST ANSWER: For a side mount application, item 57302 and 51613 work well together. For a bottom slide mount application you would use item #57268. It depends greatly on which type of slide you want to use.
