MAX Cabinet Hardware Jig - Versatile Long Pull & Shelf Pin Jig

In this review the MAX Cabinet Hardware Jig is examined as a shop-ready solution for installing knobs, long pulls and 32mm shelf pin holes. The bottom line: cabinetmakers, remodelers and serious DIYers who need fast, repeatable, and highly accurate hole placement will benefit most from this tool because it combines wide reach for long pulls with shaker-compatible spacers and hard-case portability. Setup is straightforward and the jig's precision machining makes it easy to avoid costly mistakes on doors and recessed drawer fronts.

Key Features

• Versatile drilling: Installs cabinet knobs and pulls of virtually any length and drills standard 32mm shelf pin holes so one jig covers multiple tasks.
• Long reach capacity: Designed for drawer fronts up to 42' wide and hardware up to 38mm center-to-center, accommodating long pulls and wide panels.
• Shaker-ready: Patent-pending shaker spacers provide stable contact and protection when drilling recessed or shaker-style drawer fronts.
• Fast setup: Tighten thumb screws, hold and drill with no clamps or marking required, making repeat installs quick and low-stress.
• Precision construction: Aerospace-quality machining and hand calibration reduce alignment errors and help avoid costly rework.
• Complete kit: Ships with Long Pull & Shelf Pin Extensions, Rapid Center Extension, 5mm drill bit, depth stop and a hard carrying case for jobsite protection.

Who It's For

The MAX jig is aimed at professionals and dedicated hobbyists who install cabinet hardware frequently and need a durable, repeatable template for doors, drawers and shelves. It is especially useful for those working on shaker-style cabinetry, recessed drawer fronts, or long drawer panels where accurate center-to-center measurements are hard to mark consistently.

People who only install a handful of knobs once in a while or prefer freehand marking may find the jig more capability than they need; beginners who want an ultra-low-cost one-off solution should consider simpler templates, but will sacrifice the speed and precision this jig provides.
