Great toolNov 24, 2007
By Robert Cameron "cannikin"
I read a quick review of this kit in Fine Woodworking and needed to drill some pocket holes for a workbench I'm building. Great little tool and does exactly what it says. At first I thought it felt a little flimsy (the actual hole jig is all plastic except for the two drill guides) but it's super sturdy and dead accurate.

I also purchased a bunch of Kreg screws to go with it, but the kit comes with 100 or so of various sizes and those will probably be the only ones I need for this project. But, you can never have too many screws in enough sizes!

Dandy Little DeviceNov 23, 2006
By Avelardo Moulinet "Pixels-in-Motion"
After years of watching my Good Buddy Norm Abram on the New Yankee Workshop rave about the Kreg Pocket Screw System, I was all set to get started with it,

Kreg makes many versions of their pocket hole system tools and this Kreg K3 Master Pocket Hole system has recently come out. It works like a charm.

Their least expensive kit is the Kreg MLJKIT Mini Kreg Jig Kit, which is about as basic as you can imagine, was not going to work for me.

Kreg makes all kinds of machines to make pocket holes, from their DK5100 monster for almost seven grand, to the before mentioned Mini.

This one is Just Right.

The R3 comes in a cute little plastic box, which appears sturdy enough, and has all you really need for an occasional pocket hole.

(A pocket hole is a way of drilling at an angle, a hole which allows special screws to tightly pull together two pieces of wood. It is a very efficient, fast and easy to use way of making face frames, or to basically join any two pieces of wood together.)

This kit has the duel jig which lets you drill two holes, side-by-side (or you can just use one of the holes), and on the sides there are plastic slides which let you dial in the width of the board you will be drilling. The adjustable depth can be varied from 1/2" to 1 1/2".

The special drill bit rests in the case and can be adjusted to the corresponding depth by loosening and tightening an adjustable collar with the provided allen wrench.

It takes longer to explain it than to do it.

After making the holes, you drill the special screws with the very long square drive. You can see the two pieces of wood drawn together.

The only thing I need now is the Kreg RAC Angle Clamp. It is kinda a pain to clamp the jig to the wood being drilled with small clamps. The Angle Clamp (as demonstrated by my good buddy Norm) makes this part look very easy.

This jig paid for itself in the first project that I used it on. Now I'll have to find other uses for it.

Excellent valueNov 28, 2007
By E. Weber "woodworker"
This product is great.
The jig is small so it can be used in relatively tight space.
The case is handy and the instructions clear.

A good addition to this kit would be to purchase the Kreg clamp but a third party clamp would do perfectly too.

The kit comes with several screws but in very small quantities. I strongly suggest buying the screw assortments that Kreg provides right away.

Worth Every PennyMay 16, 2008
By Drew S.
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.

Handy tool to have aroundApr 30, 2007
By J. Atkinson
I bought this thinking I would be using it to build some cabinets and bookcases, however the first project it was used for was to attach a handrail to an end post. I have to say this worked great. The only issue I have with it is the adjustable depth guides seem a little cheap and could possibly wear out rather quickly. The other is the markings in the bit holder to help you adjust the depth of the stop collar, it could be off as much as an 1/8" depending where the bit is resting. The plastic tray in the case is very light weight plastic and won't stand up to any sort of abuse. So if it breaks you'll be out your collar adjustment guide.

Don't get me wrong, I love this tool. Considering the price of this one and the next level up, I think I can deal with a few trimmed corners.
