Default Tools: Crappy Camloc Drill Jig

Hardness of the insert came in at Rc 14. That's like dead soft steel.

Purchased a MilSpec brand handheld drill jig for Camloc receptacles a few
weeks ago and used it for the first time today. What a piece of crap.

The "tool steel" bushing must not be hardened, as it wallowed out after 7
uses (14 holes). Junk, junk, junk. Going to have it hardness tested at

work
tomorrow out of curiosity.

By comparison, I've used my ATI Industries nutplate drill jigs for years

for
hundreds of holes with no problems.

The MilSpec tool was nothing but frustration after a few pieces. What a
disappointment. Beware.
