I had a job to do that required me to assemble the work on site. I was able to precut all parts and predrill the pocket holes in the shop. The parts were then transported to the site and assembled. Glue was applied to the pieces and assembled and ready to finish in a short time. I do not know how long and how many clamps would have been required if I had used biscuits, dowels or any other type of assembly. This is probably one of the best specialty tools I have ever bought.... This was the perfect addition to our wood shop. Really, this is simple to use, and comes with a video to show how many uses this little gem has. We do a lot of wood joining, i.e. shelving, small furniture, picture frames, and I just think this tool has so many applications! Please watch the video or go to the website and watch the infomercial because there were a few applications they suggested that I had not considered.... I got this jig for my husband for Christmas (I can take a hint). He just loves it. He just finished making a computer desk and a couple other smaller things and keeps going on about how much easier it made the job. He showed it off to my brother and now he's going to get one. It's really nice to see him enjoy this gift so much!... I purchsed the Kreg Jig K4 and found it easy to use. I made a quick monitor stand for my computer monitor from scrap pieces of wood and was pleased with the result. The kit was missing a part so I called the company and they promptly sent me out the missing part.... I have several Kreg pocket hole tools and this is another good product. It works as intended and is a time saver compared to other joining methods. Should be used in conjunction with the Kreg srews...why?...because they are well made, and not very expensive if you buy larger boxes and search by price on "Froogle". You will not be disappointed. Now, almost everything I see needs a pocket hole screw!... I bought this product for my Husband as a Christmas gift. He loves it. We are getting ready to build our own kitchen cabinets so this will get a lot of use.... I like doing woodworking - whether it is refinishing old furinture,building new shelves or barn doors. The K4 is a must have tool for anyone's work shop. I was building a wooden swinging door for my small barn and the K4 made the job so much easier and faster. The door is secured good and strong with the pocket screws. The K4 is easy to use, easy to set up or store. I had a small pocket screw kit I was using but since I purchased the K4 - I leave the other one in the tool box.
This is the best jig I have ever used. Easy to set up, easy to use. Screw system is great.
I was building a set of shelves that would be assembeled with picket screws when I decided I needed the K4 kit. I had a 20 year old aluminum pocket hole jig with a hardened insert that you just clamped to the work, but to get this lined up and clamped took a long time and I had about 90 holes to drill for this project. The Kreg K4 was so easy to set up and use and I was able to drill all the holes in just a fraction of the time. I like the K4 better than the K3 master because it's easy to cla... |
