This product is unbelievable for what it is. The holes it makes are perfect and it feels premium in every way. Don’t waste your money on cheaper ones, just buy this and enjoy it.
I was amazed just how simple it was to produce accurate work. If like me your mostly scrounging off cuts for simple garden planters and the like, this jig is excellent. If you are using store bought dressed wood, then this jig is absolutely marvellous. I can’t praise it enough.
I just made a torsion box mft table using this to do the joins
I used 18mm plywood.
I had some long lengths, and the jigs removable side supports were a god send, with the built in clamp, I was able to smash out pocket hole after hole in many bits of wood.
The dust extraction port was really handy, but it has an odd whistle as the air gets sucked through the drill holes.
I can easily change the depth of the holes, the kit is well made.
When screwing in pocket holes, the wood moves a touch. I clamped mine really well, but it still drifted slightly. Grrrr! Always clamp your joints!
(I used my mft top with dogs and clamps, 2 90 degree brackets clamped to the work peices and also quick clamps and the cutouts to hold it all in place -> result, the wood shifted very slightly -> may chuck in a dowel next time. The movement was far less than 1 mm, and I am being really picky)
When I first used the jig, I got some metal shavings as the drill removed some of the black surface finish around where the drill leaves the jib and enters the wood. Surface finish -> gone, but the metal shavings stopped as I used the jig more and more.
I’d buy this again -> its well made, the extra gubbings made it really easy to use, hardly any time spent faffing around lining things up and clamp them. Its a case of mark up where you want the holes to go, plonk it in the jig, roughly place the side supports, clamp, drill, unclamp, shift the wood to a mark, clamp…
The top of the jig has marks to show the center of the hole against the wood. Really easy to line up and adjust. I looked at cheap chinese ones, cheaper trand ones, Kreg and I am glad I got this one.
I am most impressed with this tool, it certainly does accurate job of the holes and enables you build many a project.
So I bought this as part of a covid project ot build out a workshop in the garage. I spent abput 10 minutes reading the instructions and trying it out on some scrap. Then on to building a mobile work station for my dewalt planer/thicknesser out of 4×2’s and gravel boards. The tool is a breeze to use and produces very strong joints. I used it to join the gravel board planks to made a solid top and shelf underneath. The workstation is on casters and moves round with 30kgs sitting on top with no flexing in the joints at all.
Next I made an outdoor storage chest for the garden chair cushions. Once again joining the legs and gravel board sides, top and bottom with pocket screws.
So the tool is simple to use and produces very strong joints. Only problem is you can get through a lot of screws.
Now my neighbor want me to build him a 3 bay wheelie bin storage unit, once again out of 4×2’s and gravel boards and this is just to tool to do it.
Everything you need to get going. Not enough screws provided for a project though so had to buy a pack from elsewhere. Found it easier to not use the jig as is and used the plate provided to adapt it to be clamped with the pliers. Worked more efficient that way. No faults although would be handy to have a shorter bit drive included. Over all I’m happy with purchase
Very happy with the quality all metal and easy to set up. I’ve had other pocket hole jigs all plastic this is a winner.
Not used another so can’t compare but does exactly what it said on the tin.
I looked around and came upon this and it worked really well.
I set the height of the jig to the thickness of the wood being used using the guide on the jig, simple.
I set the depth of the drill using the rotating step gauge on the jig, again simple.
I tested the settings with some scrap wood, good to go.
I was then able to mark up all the pieces of wood in pencil where I wanted the pocket holes to be and got to work.
The attached clamp allowed for quick and easy positioning of the wood to be drilled so the 406 pocket holes were soon done.
I had attached the jig to a board and then secured the board in a vice for stability and this definitely helped speed things up and this is explained in the instructions for the jig.
The vacuum attachment also helped as it meant that there was no build up of sawdust inside the jig so no stopping to tap/blow or prod the drill guides clear, they were ready to go after each drilling.
The whole set comes with a decent storage bag although I’m leaving my jig attached to the board so the jig won’t fit in the bag now.
There are cheaper versions and there are more expensive versions. I found that this jig worked very well and appears to have many more years of use to go.
Muy bueno, de calidad. El ngulo que da es perfecto.
Well made all metal construction. Quick and easy to both setup and use. Especially liked the goove in the base for clamping to a work bench, much better than having to screw down to the bench. Cheaper than the Blue ones and in my opinion miles better.
Original ordered a Kregg K5 but when I received it I was bitterly disappointed. The clamp mechanism slipped and from an engineering perspective it was a terrible design.
I then became aware of this new jig from Trend which does borrow some of the Kreggs set up features. When I received the Trend jig the difference is unbelievable, this is a quality engineered tool.
This jig is made of all metal and has a very solid clamping mechanism.
I have used it quite a bit now and I am very impressed. You will not be disappointed with this tool.
A bit pricey, but definitely worth the money. Very quick to set up and easy to use. All metal, do very sturdy and good quality. The dust extraction system works a treat when plugged into a shop vac, very clean job. A nice improvement in my set up.
I can’t say enough about this jig that does exactly what its supposed to.
Easy and intuitive to set up, quickly adjusted to suit different thicknesses of materials and enough screws in the kit to make a decent cupboard straight out the canvas carry case it comes in.
