Works Great! October 21, 2008
PenMangler (alabama, US of A)
I've done two projects so far with this gizmo. Anything that says "Kreg" on it is quality stuff and will do what it's supposed to do. As for the K3SP, I wonder how I got along without it. After you make a couple of quick adjustments for wood thickness and drill bit depth, you clamp the jig to the board and zip! it's done. Then you clamp the board you want to join with the pocket hole board and in about one second, you have a perfect joint. The clamp holds the boards at the point of the joint so they are both flat and square. Very strong joints, with or without glue. I highly recommend this product. br / br /UPdate Nov 5, 2008: I've finished several projects so far. Can't believe how easy it is to join wood with pocket holes. I just finished one in which a roll around platform/cabinet has a flip type deck. You put one benchtop machine (e.g. planer) on one side and a second machine (chop saw) on the other. Flip the center deck over to use one or the other. Then you have two machines using the floor space of one. Thats a goodly amount of weight, but I used only the pocket hole screws (no glue or dado) at the bottom of the cabinet (picture a shape of a "U") and it is strong and solid. This is a great jig!
Some creative uses and a hidden benefit of the Kreg K3 Standard Pack September 20, 2008
Dave Millman (San Jose, CA USA)
Other reviewers have covered the high points of this tool. I definitely think this package is the "sweet spot" because they sell an upgrade to the Master System Kreg K3UP Jig K3 Upgrade Kit. This is a no-compromise package, while the lower priced versions are not upgradable. br / br /Creative use #1: Garden gate. The existing fence used vertical boards, toenailed at the top and bottom with finish nails. Not very secure! My new gate, finished today using this Kreg jig, uses two Kreg screws at the top and bottom of each board. The gate matches the existing fence perfectly, but imagine how much more securely the boards are held in place with four screws versus 4-6 finish nails. br / br /Hidden benefit: Some of the boards I used had bad edges (crooked or worn and rounded). I wanted to use them because they were aged and matched the fence. Again, the Kreg system holds these boards tight, even though they do not touch flush with the frame. The ability to pick up the slack for the bad edges is a great benefit. br / br /Creative Use #2: Furniture repair: After finishing the gate, I realized that I had several pieces of furniture with weak or squeaky joints. No longer! We bought a new mattress for our bed, but because the new mattress and box spring are so much taller than the old set, the frame squeaks. Or it did until I popped two Kreg screws into each corner. Same story with two loose table legs and one broken drawer frame. All fixed in about two minutes each. I should mention that although I have always been a fan of quality wood glue, I haven't seen the need to glue any Kreg joints. br / br /Fantastic tool, highly recommended.
 Nice and simple joinery August 21, 2008
Brian Gregory (Atlanta, GA USA)
I am usually a consumer of reviews and not a producer, but the Kreg jig is such a nice tool that it prompted me to write a review. I am a handyman carpenter/diyer and just enjoy working with wood. Most of my projects are for the garage and therefore don't necessarily require any fancy joinery work. However, a new project - building matching bedside tables for the inside of the house - requires a whole new level of craftsmanship versus the workbench for the garage. br / br /So the Kreg jig seemed like the perfect compromise to making clean joins for the bedside table - and boy does it perform! After a bit of setting the jig up, it was very easy to make the pocket holes and make the joint. br / br /If you are planning on using this tool heavily I would recommend the master kit with the additional base/clamp system (which the standard kit can be easily upgraded too). Otherwise this kit will work for your traditional weekend warrior. br / br /The reason why I am not giving this a five-star review is that the hex-screw in the collar that goes around the drill bit was damaged and will not tighten without a lot of effort. But kudos to the Kreg Company, because I called them and they sent out a replacement part right-away at no charge. Also, the manual that comes with the kit does an excellent job of explaining the tool and how to make joins in different sizes of wood with nice hints and tips.
Throw your plate joiner away! August 3, 2008
C. Osborne (San Diego, CA)
Excellent product for producing fast, easy, exceptionally strong joints. The Kreg Jig is cheaper and more effective than a traditional plate joiner, and even with the added cost of its proprietary screws, it's an excellent purchase. br / br /Highly recommended.

This Pocket Hole Jig was very to use, even though it was my first time using it. I was building a coffee table, and I needed a way to secure the top. I was superised how easy this was. I wish that I had bought this Jig years ago. br / br / br /Thanks: Albert
