I would have liked a larger sized ice sphere but these do work almost perfectly

I didn't want to spend a fortune on a Kreg so I bought this and it worked well. It only does 1.5" max width wood but that was fine for my project which used 5/8" plywood. I just needed recessed screws to mount the top of this board vs screwing top down. There were a few metal filings that came off the jig when drilling and the holes weren't "clean" (some rough edges) but with a little sanding, they cleaned up fine. For the DIY'er like me, I would recommend this especially for the price. And it comes in a nice carrying/storage case also.The project is a cornhole airmail box fyi.

First time I've really used pocket holes. Needed a way to assemble an odd cabinet in place in tight quarters. Pocket screws were the perfect solution. It worked so well and is so quick that I think I'm going to be using this approach for non-structural cabinets a lot more instead of glueing up biscuit-joints.A few cautions. Suggest spending a fair bit of time setting the drill stop for optimum depth then make sure that set screw is tight tight tight. Strongly advise using a variable speed drill which has really good low RPM control and good trigger control - that drill bit is really 'grabby' when you start up inside the drill guide. There's not much wood left in the plywood under the screw head, thought I could go cheap where the plywood didn't show. would have worked fine with biscuits but the internal layers weren't strong enough to hold the joint tight with just a few screw heads after a bit of lateral wracking, had to go with good 7 ply instead.

The General Tools 854 Adjustable Pocket Hole Jig provides a cheaper alternative to drilling pocket holes. This model is designed to adjust for all wood thicknesses from 0.5 inch to 1-5 inch, the range of the possible pocket hole thicknesses. It also comes apart to allow drilling posket holes on a fixed piece that does not fit into the full jig.Unfortunately, there are no instructions and minimum essential markings on the jig. There is a web site that is suposed to have answers listed on the packaging but I have not loooked at it. The best way to understand how to use the jig and screw sizes is to make trial holes on scrap lumber. Good tool for the price!

Great little jig. Makes connecting two pieces of wood together with a hidden joint simple

This tool is really well made, the height adjustment is very accurate, I wish that I had this tool for a long time, but not being a carpenter I had no idea that it existed. Would have come in handy a lot of times in the past when I had to use ugly metal brackets, whereas this is simple and elegant. If you need to do a really good job like on furiniture there are plugs to cover the holes, so nothing is visible when finished.Overall, the quality is good, no burrs or any manufacturing surprises left behind, very happy so far. I used the tool to build an 84" projector screen frame, I did a good job, it is all nice and square, no brackets, just wood and screws.

Works like a charm, I'll break the review down to under stand the 4/5 starsAccuracy:If you attached the jig to the wood and clamp it properly I'd say 49/50 times it'll work right. Not sure if I just happened to move the jig, fairly certain it was perfectly in place but 2 holes I drilled out of the some 100 I drilled came out too short and the screws went all the way into the wood I was joining with it.Versatility:It's a very small jig and has a built in clamp, so moving it around is no problem at all. On top of that it's adjustable up to 1.5 inches thick wood, which I used for 2x6's and it worked lovely.Overall the problem is incredibly easy to use and the extra screws are a nice touch, despite not actually using them. Square bit works great and works with Kreg screws.Totally recommend for a workshop on a budget.

Being a neophyte woodworker, I don't have any past experience with pocket hole jigs, but was put-off by the price of the Kreg ($99 or so). This one basically does the job, but I have no idea how long it will last. Case in point:1. When drilling initially, lots of metal chaff came out, indicating that the bit-to-guide tolerances are pretty tight - maybe too much so.2. Within 5-10 holes, the bit warped, so it's now out of true. Not enough to make it useless, but the bit is pretty clearly not up to the task, and probably won''t last through my current project (I need to drill 100 or so holes, and am less than halfway done so far).Pros:* It's cheap.* It's reasonably durable, aside from the bit.* It seems to get the job done, at least in the near term.* It adapts pretty well to drilling 4x4's or other > 2x4 stock, which I need to do.Cons:* The bit is way too lightweight, and warps. It should have been made from a better grade of steel. I'll have to order another one to ensure I make it through this project.* The jig clamp is really designed for benchtop use - it tends to bend when clamped tightly, in any case. If used sideways, more (clutch) clamps are needed to keep it from moving around.* The jig clamp is also very narrow, making it difficult to do holes in the width of a board (vs. at the ends). I had to come up with a way to prop-up the ends of boards, ensuring they're level. A few more inches' width of the jig probably would have avoided this.* If you're not careful, boards can hang-up on part of the jig, and cause the bit to pierce the end of the board as the board isn't fully seated in the jig. Make sure the board is fully-seated, every time.Finally, more of a "quality of lawyer" problem than a "quality of product" problem is the stupid safety sticker they put on the haft of the bit, which cannot be removed except by using Goof-Off or nail polish remover, ironically creating its own safety issue. Idiots.
