High Quality Product May 15, 2006

I used to make my own pocket hole jigs. Drill a hole into a square hardwood block, cut an appropriate angle off the block, and you've got your jig. This approach gives you maximum flexibility with the angle, hole diameter and stock size. Sometimes, it's the best way to go. However, the downsides to this approach are numerous: you have to think alot (it takes some time to figure out the angle and offset), the wood jig gets sloppy after extended use and must be replaced, you need to drill twice for each hole (one countersink, and one for the screw).
Enter the Kreg jig.
Pros:
o no thinking required (well, not about how to build the jig anyway).
o easy to use.
o high quality product. This is a very well made jig, built to tight tolerances. I expect it to last for a very long time.
o the drill bit is also top quality - if you've only used cheap disount bits you will be very pleasantly surprised to see how this fine Kreg bit performs.
o instructions are clear, short, easy to follow.
o works as well as advertised. Better than I expected, actually.
o great support and product information at the kreg website.
Cons:
o you are limited to a single angle (about 15 degrees, I seem to recall).
o you are limited to a single hole width (3/8")
Overall I am very pleased with this jig. It works well and is surprisingly pleasant to use.
I've been using the Kreg screws with this jig and am very pleased with them - they are the same high quality as the jig. You can use other screws but make sure they are self-drilling.
I use any one of a number of my shop clamps to hold things in place - they work well. I suspect the kreg clamps would work better but have not tried them, and am not inclined to do so at this time.
You will need long reach robertson (square drive) screwdriver (or bit for your power driver). A 3" square drive bit with an extension will do, but a 6" bit is best. (These are available here on amazon.com, and possibly at your local hardware store.)
One last thing. Used appropriately pocket holes can be quite strong and durable, whether done with a home-made jig or the kreg.
A life saver! March 17, 2006

Much easier than trying to line up biscuts, this little tool saved me hours on my built-ins. I highly reccommend this item and using it with a corded drill for anything 3/4" and over. I used my cordless and had no problems but I think the power of a general consumer cordless drill may not be enough to make a clean hole. I definitly reccommend this liitle jig and bit or move up to the bigger one.
Replacement Bit With Extras September 3, 2006

I already own the kreg system. I use it exclusively for making things in the shop; plywod cabinets and the like. I noticed my bit dulling after hundreds of (if not a thousand) pocket holes. It almost seems like a no-brainer to buy this kit and get the extra collet for the couple bucks more it costs. It is like getting the single pocket "free".
Good value and excellent results August 5, 2005

This item is excellent for making face frames for cabinets. It is easy to use and makes an excellent tight strong joint.
Very handy -- not just for cabinet making June 8, 2007

Although this is originally intended as a cabinet making tool, the Kreg Mini Jig Kit is an incredibly useful to have around when joining wood. I don't make cabinets but use it quite frequently for remodeling and repairs where other fastening methods are impractical (which happens surprisingly often).
The jig is a bargain and having it around (with a box of the common size Kreg screws -- 1 1/4" and 2 1/2") is one of those purchases that you kick yourself for not making sooner. Highly recommended.
Obviously, if you are into serious woodworking Kreg makes bigger, better kits but you really can't beat the utility of the Mini Jig Kit.
