Useless
absolutely useless, you spend $50 on something that does not give you any benefit at all, since you can use the actual part to be installed as reference. And using this jig to hold the frame while drilling, as depicted in one of the other comments, sure makes it difficult to line up frame true 90 degrees to drill. Don't waste your money on this.
