Review on R3 Promo Pocket Classic Clamp Pack by Pat Slater

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great jig, short learning curve, fully test your jig.

I love the device. This Kreg mount makes pocket holes with little to no effort. I have used it to build beehives and repair furniture and will use it to build a chicken coop. ADVANTAGES: easy to use. Makes perfect pocket holes. Also makes perfect pocket holes through branches in the wood. CONS: Only one of the holes can be used on my mount. The other one was too small for the drill when I started using it. While the measurements on the bottom of the template should represent the width of the wood you are working on, I use a shorter setting than wood in most cases. If the workpiece is not held firmly together before twisting, one of the parts will tend to move about 1/16 inch. It was annoying at first, but then I corrected it. They have a great piece of plastic that is used to clamp them, but the drilled material exit hole closes up when fastened. This leads to a compaction of the sawdust on the drill. final distance. Otherwise the drill will get stuck at the end. Final Thoughts - When your jig is fully functional it will be very easy to join two pieces of wood together. Be careful when driving the screw into the part, fast drilling will result in the screw cleaning the hole more often than not. Be sure to use a locking ring. I've found I can get a better idea of how deep the drill bit should go if I first make a test hole on a piece of scrap metal. Drills, screwdrivers, tools and screws turned up at my local hardware store. Not so expensive. If for some reason my stencil fails I will buy another one asap as I keep finding more and more things I want to use it for.
