Pepperell TOOL01 Ezzzy-Jig Bracelet Maker-

I read the reviews on this item and other similar jigs. I took a chance on what seemed from the reviews to be a jig made from soft pine wood that had problems holding the setting and the wood compressing because it was so soft.Not so! The construction of this jig is made from hard wood, and if there is any wood compression or issues, then I would look to the user - not the jig. I did change the buckles that came with the jig because they didn't match the buckles that I have, but that is a no-brainer anyway. it was nice to get it with sample buckles to see how to install the replacements. I also added another set of metal 5/8 inch buckles that I use, and now have three different types.Working with this jig is simple and makes duplication and repeat-ability of bracelets easy. I have marked often used sizes on the wood with a pen and can duplicate these sizes by just sliding to my marks on the wood.I waited until I had the jig for a couple weeks and made about a dozen bracelets to make sure that I tested it thoroughly. I really like working with it and recommend it. If you want an inexpensive jig, that you can use to make repeatable size bracelets, then you will like this.

I bought this for my daughter, as she's started getting into making paracord bracelets. There are two "fixed" buckles at each end, one for a 3/8" buckle, and the other for a 1/2" buckle. Plus, what I didn't realize when I placed the order is that there is a hook at each end between the 3/8" and 1/2" buckles with a white buckle clip on the hook (I have no idea if that's the technical term, but you can see in the pictures, there are black buckles and white buckle clips holding the black buckles to the jig). This is so you can add buckles of other sizes to the jig without having to take anything apart. This was a great added feature because I'd purchased 5/8" buckles for my daughter to use.With this jig, you can easily make bracelets from 6" - 12". My daughter can make a bracelet in just a few minutes now that she's using the jig. She's been making them for all of her friends in the neighborhood. I'm going to go broke buying all that paracord! It's easy to use, and it works well.

Works well

I bought this jig for my 9 year old daughter for her 9th birthday. She loves creating with loom bands, and I thought she might like to expand her bracelet-making skills. For my 9 year old this works pretty well, and I've used it and like it as well. It holds everything firmly in place as you are making your bracelet. It's easy to adjust, and you can secure it easily using the wing nut on the bottom. It appease to be built well, and doesn't seam weak or wobbly. The only problem we have had with it is the buckles that came with all of our paracord, do not quite fit the buckles on this jig. That's not really a problem, because we can easily unscrew these buckles, and put a set of our buckles on there so that everything holds more firmly. I worry that if I do that though, will the screw go back into place and stay securely? We shall find out. She has had this for a couple weeks now and has been using it without problem. I would recommend this for somebody who wants to start making paracord bracelets.

When I started making paracord bracelets, lanyards, etc., I was doing them "freehand". My brother-in-law suggested I go online and get instructions for making a jig. However, I live in a condominium without the space or tools for making anything of wood. Purchased this jig to replace a cheap plastic unit I originally bought that wasn't even good enough to by a working toy for children to make bracelets. I am very happy with this jig. Having arthritis and other weakness/pain in my hands, I make paracord items as a hobby and to give as gifts. This jig makes it much easier former to make items with minimal strain on my hands. It is very sturdy, is constructed so that it is easy to make bracelets with clasps in two different sizes and additional hardware making it easy to make key holders and lanyards, as well.

Extremely satisfied with my purchase. Excellent quality. Lightweight. Sturdy yet not cumbersome. Long-lasting laser etched measurements for accuracy. Price point is fantastic! A true home run.

Sturdy piece of equipment

Works as advertised. I also added a 3/8" set of clips to my jig to allow for 3 different sizes. The parts were easily found a my local hardware store. Happy to support a made in USA product. Mission accomplished as this jig makes it very easy to make a bracelet in about 15 - 20 minutes time. I would highly recommend it if you plan to take on this fun hobby. I bring it to Scout campouts with plenty of paracord colors so it gets plenty of use!
