Easy to use simple accurate joints with great strength. Use of jig is enhanced with available clamps.Very enjoyable to use.
This is the best way for lazy people such as myself to join wood. I would recommend buying a spare drill bit just in case you are in the middle of a project and break the one that comes with the kit.Great price and very fast shipping from Amazon. The joints are really simple to put together.
WOW, am I glad I did. I am thrilled with this tool. I am doing an office cabinet project and was planning on using biscuits, glue and screws to assemble the cases of the cabinets. It is making a very large project go very smoothly and I am truly enjoying it more with this jig. I hesitated at first and finally decided to give it a try. No more clamping and gluing and waiting for things to dry overnight. It makes a strong square joint and has cut my assembly time down to minutes rather than hours.
Several people that I talked to about the project said you have to use the Kreg Jig for pocket screw joints. I have never used a tool that has performed as well as this jig does. I would highly recommend this jig to everyone that does woodworking No more waiting for glue joints to dry.
This is an excellent tool for almost any kind of joinery. I am absolutely mind-boggled that they refuse to do business with a customer who shows up, money in hand, who wants to do business with them. Instead they insisted we buy from a local supplier or buy on-line from Amazon; they insisted Amazon's prices were cheaper than buying direct from Kreg, and that Amazon gave free shipping. The only thing I can figure is that they have some sort of arrangement with Amazon and their dealers that they won't sell by mail to anyone who lives in the same area as a dealer, or anyplace where Amazon will ship to. In our area the dealers who are listed as carrying parts such a plugs for the pocket holes, drill bits, drivers, etc. When we explained to customer service that Kreg's advertised process and shipping were less than Amazon's, Kreg continued to argue with us and insisted we buy from Amazon. Lowe's). If you live close to a dealer with a good supply of Kreg parts and accessories, I cannot recommend this product too highly.
It really does work.If you do not have a good dealer close by, I recommend you order a good resupply of everything and accept the fact you will be paying a premium to use the tool, and that there may be times when you may not be able to use it while you wait for supplies to reach you via mail. It really is one of those tools that performs as advertised.The problem comes in when you want customer support. Kreg almost got it right. Have little or nothing from Kreg, (i.e. Kreg customer support is non-existent.
This only works if the dealer actually stocks a good selection of Kreg products, or you have no problem paying the premium prices Amazon charges (almost twice what Kreg advertised)and don't mind the waiting time involved with the mail. I have to wonder why Kreg even has a contact point to order from Kreg, when Kreg won't sell anything direct. In my experience it is far superior to biscuits or dowels. When we called Kreg's order department they refused to help us. Fortunately the tool appears to be well made, because based on my experience with customer service, I have serious doubts about Kreg's willingness to honor their warranty.
Amazon's prices were almost twice what Kreg advertised, and the shipping was free only if you order in bulk.
I love it when a tool is engineeered to make me look far more skilled than I acctually am.
