AWESOME LITTLE Kreg Mini Kreg Jig Pocket Hole Kit!

Just loved my new toy. Was so easy to use and made fast work of my project!My pocket holes I have made prior were a bit uneven so this made every hole inform and look so much nicer! lOVED IT!

Kreg Jig

Great tool for fixing broken chairs and putting wood together.

Fantastic

This is a great tool. I bought it to build a bookcase out of plywood. My original plan was to router slots for the shelves in the uprights, then nail and glue the joints. It would have been a long process to clamp a few pieces in place while the glue dried. The pocket hole jig is great because the screw threads go into the cross grain of the plywood rather than the end grain of the shelves. I am not going to route or glue. I may use a third screw in the main body of the shelves for more strength...

Easy to use product for basic joinery

I had never used a pocket hole jig before however I recently was building shed doors and figured pocket holes was the best option for the 2x4 frame. This prompted my purchase of the Kreg Mini Jig Pocket Hole Kit. The kit comes with the jig, pocket hole drill bit, stop-collar and allen wrench to secure the stop-collar. A clamp is needed to hold the jig and while Kreg makes a line of clamps to use with their products, my Irwin Quick-Grip worked just a well. The included instructions are clear an...

Love it

It's perfect for DIY projects that involve pocket holes, and the price is great. You will need to buy clamps to go with it, however.

Love it

I love this product. Very easy to use and works great. Only thing i need now is the Kreg clamps.. I used c clamps and it's annoying and a tad time consuming to spin it on n off. No need to buy the expensive setup.. Just this and the clamp and you're golden.

Mini kreg jig

Built new oak cabinet doors for my toyhauler and this work perfectly. If you have some proper tools to clamp this jig to the wood, it works easy and flawlessly. Paid $20 and well worth the money. Instructions and measurement again easy to figure out and set up.

Works well for making pocket holes

Product works well as long as you have a clamp available to hold it in place. For material over 1-1/2 inch, you will have to do the calculations on the ratio of jig placement to drill depth as the instructions only cover up to 1-1/2 inch stock.

Great cabinetry jig

Bought this to build one project in my RV and it worked great. Removed an old tube TV and replaced with a flat screen. This jig let me make great fitting, tight and secure joints with ease. Just a couple of clamps holds things in place while the magic is happening.

Simple and perfect for small home projects!

I just built a console table using this simple and easy to use tool. I'm new to wood working and wasn't sure if this simple jig would do the trick. Thought about getting the more expensive jig set up, but this is really all I needed. I bought the 2 3/4 inch clamp to go with it and was able to easily put pocket holes in all of the 2x4's & 6's I had. Larger clamps will be needed for larger pieces of wood. The instructions were very precise in measuring out where to place the jig, and like I said, ...

Great For Those Angled Connections

I love this item! It comes in handy on many occasions and makes things much cleaner. I did have to take my first one back and exchange it because the pilot bit broke off, but the new one I have has made it through 100+ so far and doing good. I would recommend one of the bigger kits if you use it professionally, but this works great for me around the house.

Great little fixture

I have read other reviews and was a little concerned about ease of use. A studied read of the instruction sheet and my first hole made it all clear. High school geometry and a little trig will yield a plethora of set-up combinations that allow a large range of combinations for custom pockets.

Suprisingly Durable and Adaptable

I had another pocket hole jig made, which used the same step down drill bit as the Kreg. The drill bit broke and it only costs a few dollars more to buy a Kreg jig and drill bit than it does to just buy a drill bit alone. I like this jig. It works great with odd sized materials much better than my aluminum jig.. This jig not only does great at drilling pocket holes for face frames, but you can also use this jig for material up to 1 1/2 inch thick. I used it for stair balusters that were 1 1/4 in...

Well worth the money.

I purchased this because it was much more reasonably priced then the kits. It was very easy to use with a clamp. It made my project a breeze. I'd certainly recommend.
