Great starter jig ... August 28, 2008 Works like a charm. While the depth adjustment is a little clunky - its usually done only once (unless you are wise enough to use mixed stock). I usually keep a couple drywall screws handy to clamp it down in odd places. Overall - you will get addicted to the simplicity and efficiency of this jig. The reason I gave it 4 stars is that this jig does not break down to a single pocket - which is what you need if you are left staring @ the 3/4" side of 4/4 stock. Otherwise - just go for it.
I'm well pleased July 11, 2008 I used this product to repair some squeeky kitchen chairs. It worked just as advertised and I am very satisfied with the results. I have examined similar "knock off" products but each one was lacking in one way or another. This is probably to avoid patent infringement issues. Kreg is the original and clearly the best. I am looking forward to discovering more applications for this system.
61 yr old woman gets it right on 4th drill hole! June 13, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm one of those people who only read directions if I can't figure out how to use something intuitively. By attempt #4, I was an expert user. LOL.
I don't have dado blades for making dado joints, nor do I own a dovehole jig. I HATE 45 angle joints with a passion! Most of my joining is plain, old-fashioned, line'er up butt joints.
15 years ago, I'd seen this tool demo'd at a huge woodworking show I was wandering through in Portland OR. It has stuck in my mind as a "must have" slick jig tool, all these years. I couldn't remember the name, but I sure remembered "slanty holes" and tried to find something locally. You should see what Home Depot sells--talk about awkward and tomfoolery! YUCKERS!!
This is everything I remembered, and thanks to Amazon, I now know its name is KREG.
I'd just never had a need for it before now. I'm "retired now" you know, and have never been busier! LOL
Now, in my 60s, I have time to screen in a front porch, (done!) install headers for the transom above my new door, (done) and remodel my own bathroom to install a jacuzzi. (THAT IS NEXT! LOL!)
I remembered my "wow" impression for butt joining wall studs and headers with this "blue tool." I went to Amazon to find the best price., and it was received in the mail almost before I had time to turn around. THANKS!
NOW, I'll read the directions. (grin)

Saw this item used on "Cool Tools" and figured id give it a try. 3 words, Absolutely love it. Create quick solid joints without having to wait for glue to set. Great for quick little projects where I don't feel like breaking out the plate joiner/glue or make Tenons/Mortises. However its still strong enough for cabinets. The case is small enough to not take up any more of my already limited storage space and still has room to store all my accompanying accessories. The chart on the inside of the case takes all the guess work out of which screws to use with which size/type wood. Even more helpful on the inside of the case is the measuring guide for setting the drill bit depth. I don't know about the rest of you users but while convenient for the measuring guide, keeping the inside plastic seemed like such a waste of storage space for me. The jig it self is very easy to use with preset sizes just a click away. Overall I love this tool and it has more then paid for its self as far as I am concerned.
My one bit of advice, make sure you have a very strong clamp otherwise the jig will slide sideways when you start drilling.
The perfect solution for my project April 27, 2008 I am building a railing system for my porch, consisting of sub-sections that contain the balusters that are mounted under the top rail. This product has allowed me to achieve professional looking results, while being designed and built by an amateur. I will no doubt find this just as valuable for future furniture projects, as well. The product is well designed, and the adjustments make it versatile and nearly "goof-proof". Thank you, Kreg, for your excellent product.
