| Pro Shelf Drilling Jig |
Finally, a shelving jig that guarantees flat shelves with no rocking and no room for
error. With twin template tracks joined by rigid rails, this jig eliminates the possibility
that the rear holes could be misaligned with the front holes. And with two rows in one
jig it’ll cut your setup time in half. Simply set the jig on your panel prior to assembly,
slide it shut and drill away. The grippy rubber surface on the inside of both fences helps
ensure that the jig stays firmly in place, and once the first hole is drilled, the included
indexing pins eliminate the need for clamps and allow you to extend long rows of holes
indefinitely. The 1/4” thick acrylic templates and sturdy aluminum guide rails are built to
take the repeated stresses that such a jig endures. 32mm spacing and 37mm setback is
fully compatible with the Euro hinge system. Use with Pro Shelf Drilling Bits (40604 and
40608, sold separately). Patent Pending.

| Crown Molding Support |
“Many hands make light work” is a suitable motto for the new Crown Support from Bench Dog Tools. What used to require an assistant and a second ladder is
now portable, permanent and unfailingly reliable. Unlike similar products on the market, the Bench
Dog Crown Support straddles the molding, leaving the installer free to slide the molding and
adjust it for the tightest joint possible. This eliminates the need for climbing down the ladder and
adjusting the molding support device. The soft support pads are fully adjustable to accommodate
crown moldings from 1-1/2″ to 8″ wide. Once adjusted, the support assembly swivels and wedges
against the wall and ceiling, providing a secure hold with no risk of marring. Built from top quality
materials, and with entirely tool-free adjustments. The Crown Support threads onto most standard painter’s poles, as well as the new 12′
Telescoping Pole (31337), (also from Bench Dog Tools). A separate adaptor (33940) is also available that allows the Crown Support to be used with the FastCap® 3rd
Hand Extension, a support pole that many carpenters already own. Patent Pending.

| Micro Grabit 4-Pc. Set |
You know that sinking feeling you get when a bolt head snaps off as it snugs up? Well,
these little grippers will lift more than just your mood. Sized specifically for smaller,
more breakage-prone bolts less than 1/4″ in shank diameter, they’ll zip out the broken
shank faster than you can say thanks. Each extractor sports two business ends: one a
drill bit for boring a hole in the shank, the other an auger-like extractor that binds itself
into the hole and wrenches the bolt free. The self-centering drill tip prevents wandering
and allows a clean pilot hole – even on jagged surfaces. Kit includes extractors for the
following sizes: #5 or #6 (M3), #8 (M4), #10 or #12 (M5) and 1/4″ (M6).

| Magic Stud Finder |
Find and mark wall studs without marking or otherwise damaging your walls — no
batteries, no electronics and no guesswork! Round magnetic targets load into the stud
finder body and are magically pulled out when the finder is run across nails, screws or metal studs in the wall. The targets then stick to the wall, indicating the location of the
wood or metal stud without damaging the wall. This clever device also functions as a
level and a ruler. Three magnetic targets included.
