Kreg K3MS K3 Master Pocket Hole Jig System
Customer Review: Changed my finishing technique and provided more options
Summary: 5 Stars
Great kit. I bought it never having used a pocket hole kit. I did 2 practice joints and rolled right into cabinet facing finish work with great results. Kit includes all you need to be quite effective and the case provides room for all the components and extra bits and screws. Only advise is use a good drill with a settable clutch to prevent stripping screws in joints. This makes makes face joints strong and great looking with out glue squeezeoutCustomer Review: Disappointing results in dense cabinet hardwood
Summary: 2 Stars
I was excited to start using my new Kreg jig when I got it and was immediately disappointed when the mating 1 1/2 x 3/4 inch hickory face frame split when I drove in the screws. I thought it was just a bad coincidence, but then the other end split too. So I think I'm doing something wrong and open the manual where it assures you that no pre-drilling is needed and specifically names hickory and maple as examples. Obviously this isn't true, so I set out to pre-drill the holes in the next joints. I put the screw in just so it marks the matting piece and then back the screw out. Pilot the hole then drive the screw back in. Now I'm thinking this is not a time saving device as advertised. This time on the second screw, it snaps off in the middle. I think well maybe it was a weak screw and maybe I over worked it until three screws later another one snaps off. I've got to tell you, save your money and your time on this thing unless you are planning on using less dense wood or wider face frames. With all the fiddling around to pilot drill the matting pieces it is much quicker to use a biscuit joiner with FF biscuits.Customer Review: Dove Tail or Pocket Hole?
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm partial to dove tail joints, but this Kreg K3 Kit makes the job faster, with far less work.
Depending on how much time you have to finish a project and what look you want to show for "craftmenship" should dictate your choice to go "dove tail" or "pocket hole."
Great time saving alternative that I highly recommend.
Customer Review: Drill, Drive & Done
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my husband in January of 2007 and most recently I've been using it nearly every day. We were skeptical that it could be as easy as "Drill, Drive & Done" like they said in the video - but it REALLY is. Adjusting it is easy with simple instructions and the face clamp that comes with it is awesome. I've bragged about it so much that I have family members who decided to buy one too. It's money well spent!
