This jig is made of aluminum plate with milled indexing and steel sleeved wear bushings in contavt with the drill bits. Capable of aligning two holes with each time you index the jig and with positive locks via thumb screws and rack teeth on the jig body. Two specialized drill bits are provided along with properly sized depth collars that lock in place via set screws and producer cleanly drilled holes for recieveing the screws. Using the jig is easy given the way the the jig indexes and the collar tightens on the drill bit with functionality that secures the board being drilled via a large thumb screw that has suitable space for a 2” thick board. Considering the MOC this jig the overall quality of the indexing system, markings and thickness of the jig metal base should have the durability of possibly lasting a lifetime in home project use. Having used similar jigs in the past the value for the money is very high given the speed you can maker solid joints with this jig specifically. Note that I anchor my jig in a woodworking vise but you can anchor to a bench or other base via the holes already available in the jig base. Instructions could be better but there are pictures with the few words contained in the color single sheet pamphlet. Read more

Seriously high quality. I have multiple Kreg branded sets and got this one to see how it compared as I wanted one to keep at my mother's house for various jobs/repairs. Well my friend watched me use it and now I need another one! Read more

I've been looking to get into pocket holing for a while, waiting for the right jig at the right price, and this one fits the bill well. You get the jig, two stepped drill bits with stop collars and adjustment keys, a bag of 20 1" screws, and a long square drive bit, and 20 hole plugs. The jig has 40mm (1 9/16") of vertical adjustment range. This lets you cut the holes about 1/4" from the edge at the shallowest setting, and a little over 3/4" from the edge at the deepest setting. The clamp opens up to 1 13/16" wide, so you can fit 2x nominal lumber in it. The jig uses the commonly used 15˚ angle and the drill bit is 3/8" on the wide part with a 4.5mm (11/64") pilot. To set the drill depth, you put the bit in the hole, pull it back at least 1/16" for safety, then attach the collar. Tighten the collar screw well to avoid gouging the jig like I did first time. If you wreck the screw, which I haven't yet, it's M6. Drilling to the full depth like this will allow the supplied screws to protrude about 1/2" as pictured, so the next thing I'm doing is buying longer screws. The jig has 3 countersunk holes in the base so you can attach it to something else. I'm going to screw mine to a scrap block of wood that I can secure in a vise when needed. Overall I think this kit is good for beginners and weekend warriors alike. I'll let the experts tell you why this $34 jig is missing some critical feature I don't know about, but I am very happy with it. Read more

This pocket hole jig is sturdy, well built and comes with everything you need to complete a few projects. It is nice that it includes two drill bits for when the first wears out. There are some small items that are missing compared to its competitors that would have made this a 5 star review, but giving it 4 stars due to its quality and value. For the price compared to others, the price makes up for some of the shortfalls. The clamp does hold your board sturdy which is important. This is a great starter unit or for those who need a pocket jig to use once in awhile. First, the only way to attach it to your workbench or something else is the three screw holes in the base compared to others having a clamp spot so you can temporarily clamp it to your work surface. Second, it is missing a drill depth gauge so you can easily set the depth collar on it. This isn't as big a deal as the first item, but still important to know before you buy. Lastly, it does not have any hole center markings so you know where to line up the board you are drilling into. This is probably the biggest miss on this design. I always pre drill all screw holes and without having these center hole marks, it becomes a guessing game and potentially having to start over if you miss your mark. Read more
