If you are a DIYer and think about install doors by yourself, this kit will save you over thoundsands of dollars.
I was quoted by local tradie for each door's installation fee is $200 (solid timber), and I do have 10 doors. You can do the maths by yourself.
Very easy to install and super accurate as well.
That Ryobi kit doesn't include the template following router bit. So add maybe $50 if you don't have one already. Still a lot cheaper than OP'slisting though. That said, if you're doing a LOT of doors, then the Ryobi will come a distant second. Most houses don't have enough doors to warrant getting the nicer jig.
Top left of the template is the router bit - both that and the self centering drill are included and stored onboard.
Would be a huge cost for what is basically just a bit of plastic if it didn't include that.
It is rather well hidden isn't it? OP's but of plastic is even more expensive 😏
As a DIYer why do I need to spend hundreds of dollars on this, when all I need is a knife, a small straight edge or square, hammer, a chisel and a drill?
This seems absolutely bonkers
Straight edge/square? Here's me being a cheap bastard and just using the hinge itself and marking the outline with the chisel.
Seems incredibly over priced for a jig and bits.
Search eBay for door hanging jig for options around $50
I can how2math but can an Ozbargainer work out why I need this
Like any item on here, if you can't work out why then you don't need it. Not every post needs to be something needed by everyone, or even anyone.
How does it differ from something like this?.
What makes it worth $426?
