I'm a sucker for most infomercials, and I've been disappointed after purchasing infomercial crap before. I saw the Kreg stuff on an infomercial initially so I was leary despite being intrigued.I had already repaired my wooden dining room chairs with wooden dowels in the spindles, some wood lag screws, and Gorilla Glue, all to no avail. My three monkeys, er sons, broke my initial round of repairs and several chair arms and legs got all wobbly or had completely broken off. The company that made the chairs went out of business, so no matching chairs were available for our set of 10 chairs.I broke down and bought this Kreg Mini Jig Kit, along with a box of assorted screws, the set of two drivers, and the oblong oak plugs. I bought some face clamps at Lowe's, and you will definitely need some good clamps to make the system work. I'm an addict now to this Kreg Jig idea. The Mini Kreg Jig worked great. It's designed for flat stock, but with some finagling I was able to clamp onto the unusual shapes of the chair spindles, etc. and the repairs seem rock solid. They have held up longer than my initial glue/dowel/screw repair, despite having to drill through my previous glue and dowel work. My three testers haven't been able to break anything loose yet.Since then, the kids trundle bed frame came apart, and the repair of 3/4" to 3/4" stock at a 90 degree angle was very simple, fast and satisfying. The repair is more solid than the initial bedframe construction. I'm a Kreg addict now, looking around the house for other wood repairs. The repairs are amazingly fast and strong. I glue some of them, but it's optional. Believe the infomercial--this is a great system, and it works like they show in the video.You must be very careful with your measurements, and set the drill stop at exactly 4-1/4" or whatever the directions tell you for the thickness of stock you're using. I bought this Mini Kreg Jig, and it works fine but if I ever need to replace it, I will get the "Kreg R3 Jr. Pocket Hole Jig System" which has some jigs to help set the measurements quickly and correctly. I would probably get the Kreg clamps too--mine from Lowe's are plastic and sometimes the jig slips a bit. The R3 also has two parallel pocket holes which would be stronger than the singles I've done. I'm buying the Kreg stuff as a gift for my parents who do household repairs/woodworking and I will get them the R3 Jr. Kit, a box of assorted screws, the oblong wood plugs, and a face clamp. The R3 kit has the driver or I would get that too. This is a great product. If you're wavering, just do it. You won't be disappointed.

I love this jig and have been using it to build several raised planter boxes and an outdoor table. Other than the jig, you will also need an adjustable clamp to keep it in place when drilling, a measuring tape to adjust the depth setting on the bit, and your drill (obviously). Now although I love this jig, I have a few places where it can be improved upon to make it even better. Many of these adjustments, I have made myself already, but it would have been nicer (and looked better) if it was included in the original product.1/ It would be nice if there was a place to keep the hex wrench to make the adjustments. I was constantly changing the depth of the drill bit so I needed the hex wrench handy. I ended up drilling a small hole in the side of jig so I could keep the wrench with the jig at all times.2/ The depth settings are printed on the instructions, but they should have been etched into the jig itself. I ended up writing the various setting configurations on one side of the jig so I didn’t have to memorize the setting or keep track of the paper instructions. Since I didn’t have a box or anything to keep the wrench or instructions, I figured I was going to lose the instructions at some point so having these settings directly on the jig made it a lot easier to switch configurations at any given time.3/ Other indicators on the jig itself would have also been helpful. I found I needed to know where the center point was to help align with my measurement markings. I ended up drawing a single line down the center and on the two sides to help line up the jig more accurately.4/ Setting indicators on the drill bit. I ended up marking up the three depth settings using a marker to help alight the nut, but always had to double check my configuration with a measuring tape. It would have been nicer to have small depth marking on the bit itself to make changing the settings quick and easy.All that said, this little jig was small, compact, and did a great job on several of my projects. I didn’t realize how much i would use it until after I got it. now I can imagine not having this as an option for attaching two pieces of wood.

This keyhole jig is a very convenient option for making pocket holes. The jig takes a bit of time to line up accurately, but once you are dialed in, you get excellent results. While it may not be as accurate as other jigs, it is very convenient and small enough to get into the tight spaces, especially if you're like me and forget one or two pocket holes after joining the wood.The bit is very sharp. Compared to other pilot hole drill bits, this one gives me the cleanest holes. A bit of warning: the bit gets very hot. I managed to burn myself enough to form blisters. I recommend a bit of a cool-down time between holes to maximize performance.Be sure to purchase a good clamp or the jig may move during cutting.The one thing this jig needs is a small guide to make it easier to line up the jig with the edge of the stock. It would increase the speed of cutting the pocket holes.

Idéal pour des assemblages faciles et résistants voire invisibles si on rebouche le trou avec un tourillon!

Este es un producto que recomiendo ampliamente por su alta calidad, a pesar del ritmo de trabajo con la uso se ha mantenido en buenas condiciones. A pesar de su precio que es algo elevado, creo que vale bien la pena por el valor que te ofrece.
