Product Description
72349 Drawer Slide Jig – Stop Wrestling With Drawer Slides While Trying to Hold a Drill
Ever tried installing drawer slides solo, attempting to hold the slide level with one hand, mark holes with another, and somehow operate a drill with your third hand you don't have? The POWERTEC 72349 Drawer Slide Jig eliminates that three-handed nightmare by holding slides perfectly positioned and level while freeing both your hands for drilling and fastening. Featuring reversible brackets that first clamp inside the cabinet for slide mounting, then flip outward to support the drawer box itself during installation, this professional-grade jig delivers repeatable precision across every drawer in your project—whether you're tackling kitchen cabinets, dresser drawers, desk organizers, or custom built-ins.
Designed for cabinet makers, furniture builders, remodelers, and DIY enthusiasts who understand that smooth-gliding drawers depend on perfectly aligned slides, this versatile jig works with both framed and frameless cabinet construction. Precision indexing tabs sit flush against cabinet frame rails for instant, repeatable positioning that eliminates measuring errors and the frustration of drawers that bind, stick, or won't close properly. Compatible with standard F-style, bar, and quick-grip clamps you already own, the rugged ABS construction withstands repeated shop use while the built-in alignment features ensure every drawer operates as smoothly as the first one you installed—perfect for professional cabinet shops running production work, or home renovators installing an entire kitchen's worth of drawers without losing their minds.
