Useful tools and gadgets that make work easier and faster.

1. Edge cutter

Small tools with replaceable blades, which are very convenient for trimming the protruding edges of the melamine edge after pasting the edges of the chipboard. Just press the fixture against the plane of the slab and drag along the edge. Two models are available, one for trimming the tape to the width of both sides, the other for trimming from the end.

2. Self-centering drills

A set of drills, which, due to the tapered bushings, allow you to make holes for screws strictly in the center of the fastening holes of the fittings without preliminary marking. Thanks to the hexagonal shank, they are conveniently clamped into the screwdriver chuck. The set includes four drills with a diameter of 2, 2, 8, 3, 5, and 4.5 mm.

3. Template for marking stitches

A simple plastic jig that will help you make markings for accurate drilling of holes for door hinges. The operation is carried out in two stages: first, holes are marked and drilled on the cabinet, then the template is unrolled and fixed using guide pins. Then mark the holes on the door. The cross bar on the template allows you to maintain the required gap between the parts.

4. Conductor for drilling hinges

A more expensive, but also a more functional template, with which you can not only mark, but also immediately drill holes for the hinges. There is an adjustment of the indent from the edge of the part and pins for fixing. The set also comes with one to five Forstner drills of various diameters (15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 mm).

5. Conductor for dowels and confirmations

Self-centering template with sleeves for drills with a diameter of 6, 8 and 10 mm, which will allow you to make holes exactly in the center of a chipboard or plywood sheet and achieve a perfect connection of parts. The set also includes drills of the corresponding diameters.

6. Double-sided conductor of dowels and confirmations

A more advanced version of the previous template, with which you can drill holes for fasteners not only in the ends of the parts, but also on their plane. Thanks to the pins, the distance between the holes is more precisely maintained. The set includes bushings, drills and a small stock of dowels.

7. Universal conductor

A convenient device with a well-thought-out metal design and a set of necessary accessories that allows you to quickly drill holes not only for dowels and confirmations, but also for eccentric ties (mini-fixers). The jig is equipped with a screw clamp and does not need additional fixation with a clamp.

8. Guide for fitting fittings

A special template for drilling the holes required for attaching handles to doors and drawers without prior marking. The top and side stops are positioned along the edges of the part and aligned with the rulers. Then all that remains is to spread the movable bushings to the required distance and drill the holes.

9. Conductor for guides

A handy template with which you can quickly and easily attach the drawer rails without fiddling with the markings. To do this, you just need to install the jig at the desired height, fix it with a vertical stop, and then put the guide on top and fix it. The second part opposite is mounted in the same way.

10. Template for connection "oblique screw"

A quality replica of the famous Kreg jig for hidden connection of parts. The device is adjustable depending on the thickness of the workpieces. The kit contains everything you need: bushings, a special drill with a stop, a long bit, a key and even oblique plugs to hide the holes from the screws.

11. Quick-clamping clamp

Powerful clamp with quick-release mechanism. The stem is made of metal, the clamps are made of durable ABS-plastic, the pads on the sponges are rubber. There are four models available, which differ in length: 210, 350, 500, 655 and 805 mm.

12. Spring clamps

High quality spring clamps, which are useful for fixing parts during assembly. Equipped with rubberized grips and soft sponge pads. Available in 112, 150, 170 and 200 mm versions. Can be ordered one at a time or in sets of four.

13. Corner clamps

A set of four corner clamps, with which it is easy to assemble shelves and other products with a large number of parts. Allow you to accurately position the position of the elements and maintain an angle of 90 °. Dimensions 85 × 78 × 51 mm.

14. Mini ratchet

A compact ratchet with a set of essential bits. Thanks to its miniature size, it can be used even in the most inconvenient places. Bits are inserted without any adapters, there is a switch mechanism for changing the direction of rotation.

15. Copy template

A useful tool for transferring complex contours, which is useful to get around pipes and other protruding objects. The template is pressed against the curved surface, and then, along the protruding needles, the contour is transferred to the part that needs to be trimmed.

16. Capture

Convenient grip for carrying chipboard, plywood, furniture boards and other bulky sheet materials that are difficult to hold in your hands. The design is such that the clamp is securely fixed under the weight of the load and can be easily carried even alone.
