Great video to watch if researching that tool. Thank you very much. Definitely sold me on the $12 value. Money aside rather NOT screw up my doors and spend more cash then end up buying doors. None of my interior doors have the striker plate on the door knob side so when I wanted to upgrade they all have that plate. Perfect tool (I hope) to be able to install the new knob assemblies.

[@OneManParade]

Great camera angles. Thanks!

[@danloyol]

Excellent video! I bought the tool and dont know how to use it. Your video helps a lot. Thanks for creating it and for sharing.

[@Nothingmuch1039]

OMG! The chisel brought me here! Thank you for explaining how to use it! Lol ahhh! Props to you handymen, idk how you do it!

[@_Hmanz_]

Great video and review. I will be buying one this week👍

[@44xxggaaj]

Excellent demo , thx !

[@kimchan2108]

As an electrician that does strictly remodels this is an absolute essential tool. kzbin.infoUgkx0vyBwjtx9GGOuiqUVT2sRoYqmDoNT_RI Being able to precision cut any material with a light weight tool is priceless.I upgraded to this Dewalt 20v from a competitor's 12v. The Dewalt 20v is just as light as the competitor's 12v. I am extremely pleased with the overall performance and battery life of this tool. As far as oscillators go, they just aren't very ergonomic tools. The dewalt oscillators have an offset handle that do make them somewhat more ergonomic than the competitors' oscillators.

[@JohnnyC10071959]

Great demo

[@joe7665]

Thats for the video! I have the tool but didn't know how to use it.

[@shrimpercj]

Wow, what a mess that made of the door edge!

[@mikeyb5612]

Thank you!!

[@mixedberries4937]

thank you

[@PeterYurkins]

Greaat Video! cqn you use this to make the hole in the door jamb?

[@jeffmorton1632]

Yes thank you fir that video which shows how to mark where the strike plate needs to be, but how do you actually remove the material on the door jam so the dead bolt has a place to go?

[@HomeRepairHub]

My preferred method is a router, though you can use a chisel. A chisel is going to take quite a bit longer. To drill out the hole you can use a spade. Here is a good video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXvVonltib6Hhas

[@joepacheco7979]

Of course be sure to hold it straight. Yikes. I hope that was a test door. Thanks for the video though.

[@HomeRepairHub]

It was a test door.

[@KorySteele]

Thanks for demonstrating how this works. But... how could you not tell you were cutting it crooked?

[@HomeRepairHub]

I saw that it was crooked, but I was using it as an example to show how to use the tool.

[@VelvetSerpent]

I was thinking the same thing. Lol

[@jekinneys]

To be fair, you know how hard it is to perform many tasks while trying to video the tasks? Imagine trying to perform this task with arms fully extended in one shot (no retakes) so the camera has a decent view. Most people would naturally be on top of the door where a camera wouldn't be able to see anything. Yeah, wasted a door but I appreciate it. None of the doors in my house have that striker plate style door knob assemblies and Home Chepo has almost no details on their site on how this works. So because he screwed up a door, I know it probably a decent $12 value for me.

[@mrslate1]

@@jekinneys I think the point of this vid was to show ONLY how the tool is supposed to be used.. I bought it at HD too and no one knew how to use it.. Now I do..

[@barium963]

Holy wonky!

[@jeffmorton1632]

I have heard this works really well, however I have not found any videos explaining, if this tool can be used on the door case as well? Any thoughts?

[@HomeRepairHub]

are you talking for cutting out the strike plate on the door jam? I have never used it for that. I use the the Ryobi door lock installation kit for that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/faa8aaxjftx1j68

[@mrjoeyman]

No offense but it was crooked and you ripped that last piece of wood out. But now I know all about how it should work, so thanks!😊

[@HomeRepairHub]

It was a practice door. I was just seeing how it worked so that when I used on a good door I new what I was doing. Always good to practice with new tools before actually using them on the project.

[@mrjoeyman]

@@HomeRepairHub yes I agree. Thanks

[@zehuazhou3390]

what about the strike plate? Can this tool be used to also install the strike plate on the door frame?

[@HomeRepairHub]

It could be used in conjunction with other tools. This tool isn't specifically designed for the strike plate, but you could definitely use the chisel to cut out the wood to set the face plate and I am sure you could use the cutting insert to score out the location for the hole. You would still need a chisel or router to cut out the hole for the door latch but I am sure this tool could be used. As I said its not specifically designed for the strike plate, but it could work. This is what I use to template the strike plate. amzn.to/2U2Mf9n

[@mairtinmagowan4413]

What are the exact dimensions of the metal scoring tool - the size of the actual latch plate cut out? I need to ensure it is compatible with the latch plates before ordering. It is Not universal, as I have read elsewhere as both latch and strike plates do vary in size. Thank you

[@HomeRepairHub]

The metal scoring tool is 1 inch wide. The latch plate cut out is 2 1/4" x 1". The scoring tool is going to be the same as the width of the latch.

[@cllistings5914]

How do you use this tool to mortise the jamb?

[@nickbingo8653]

You don't

[@MrWoody-da-lenchmob]

How do I use it to. Make the whole in the door frame?

[@HomeRepairHub]

Different tool. Check the description for links. kzbin.info/www/bejne/faa8aaxjftx1j68

[@jordancorey]

How strong is it? It looks like it would break if you hit it too hard with a hammer. would a rubber mallet be better?

[@HomeRepairHub]

No, you can hit it with a hammer. The yellow piece is plastic, but there is a metal chisel and metal scoring tool that won't break. As long as you hit the strike area you will be fine.

[@jordancorey]

@@HomeRepairHub thanks for the reply

[@behoour]

You weren’t holding jig straight, it’s crooked 🧐

[@jjojonah]

What about the damage done to the door?

[@HomeRepairHub]

The door used in the video was an existing door that had already. I have used the tool on 5 or 6 of the doors in my house and it didn't cause any damage. If you are concerned about it causing damage to the door, I would practice on a block of wood or old door. This also helps so you know how hard to hit the cutter. You definitely want to make sure you hit the cutter hard enough so the chisel will cut out the excess wood without it splintering.

[@jjojonah]

@@HomeRepairHub Awesome! Thank you for the follow up. On my way to get one.

[@mikefrederick4910]

Just bought one and used it on oak doors, had to hammer the shit our of it. Dont know if I'd use it again on oak but it would probably work great on pine doors

[@HomeRepairHub]

Ya, for oak you pretty much have to use a chisel or drill.

[@CreeCarnivore]

Super helpful but the crookedness drives me crazy. :(

[@HomeRepairHub]

This was just for demonstration. If I were actually installing this door in the house I wouldn't allow it to be crooked.

[@johnlamb2754]

What happens when it is blunt?

Woodglut is nice for that.

[@adamwrona5667]

omg

[@markrobinson9394]

I have to hammer it well over 100 times. I guess my door is made of hard wood, because this seems like way too much effort.

[@HomeRepairHub]

Exterior door?

[@markrobinson9394]

@@HomeRepairHub Interior. I bought a chisel and it worked much better with that.

[@travisk5589]

880 subs and it includes a paid promotion. Wow

[@HomeRepairHub]

No...that was a mistake. It would be nice though.

[@SteabhanMacGR2]

Do not attempt to just snap the wood and then he does exactly that. Not gonna lie, I aint no carpenter and a+ for effort but just look at the door at the end. It was a right mess. Sorry...

[@HomeRepairHub]

Fair comment. It was the door I pulled. I unfortunately didn't get video on the door I installed but I did get it on the door I practiced on.

[@booferboof408]

Don’t snap the wood. Proceeds to snap the wood 🙄

[@maryboyle5515]

rubbish , I have made my own template from a piece of mdf and I use a small router, it works perfect, only other tool needed is a clamp , no hammer no chisel

[@daricjohnson-vaughnfloatz]

OMG that looks like garbage. Crooked and indented all over

[@HomeRepairHub]

It was an old door that was just being used for practice.
