Tool Survey For Professionals [please Help Fill Out]
Hello,
My name is James Kershaw and I am currently working on designing a tool to help with cabinet installation. Below is a questionnaire that if anyone has time I would love to get your feed back to further my research and development. Research Survey On average how long does it usually take to install a cabinet? What do you normally use for cabinet installation? What do you feel works? What are you likes and dislikes about your system? Do you feel a tool to help cabinet installation is necessary?
Would you purchase a tool to help aid cabinet installation?
Would you prefer a free standing installation tool or a wall mounted?
What do you feel would be a necessary feature for a cabinet installation tool? Do you feel a leveling system would be necessary?
What price range do you think would be reasonable for this tool?

They already have these on the market. Your choices are a little vague.

Re: Tool Survey For Professionals [please Help Fill Out]
Yes, I know. This is a project for a tool company that wants to explore into this category.
Any suggestions on how to improve the survey? |

Re: Tool Survey For Professionals [please Help Fill Out]
Thanks again, is this more specific?
_______________________________ What do you normally use for leveling and lifting a cabinet for install? Do you use a home made jig?
If so what are you likes and dislikes about your jig? What do you feel would improve your jig? Do you feel a lifting and leveling system for cabinet installation is necessary?
Would you purchase a lifting and leveling system to help aid cabinet installation?
Would you prefer a free standing installation system or a wall mounted?
What do you feel would be a necessary feature for a cabinet installation tool? Do you feel a leveling system would be necessary?
What price range do you think would be reasonable for this tool?

Re: Tool Survey For Professionals [please Help Fill Out]
cdat, thanks for cracking my a$$ up, cripes, i'm still giggling. How bout this survey- So, how do you build a house? Would a house tool be something you would use? What does your current house tool weigh? Sorry, but had to have fun @ someone's expense.
