Review on Massca Aluminum Pocket Hole Jig System Set - ๐Ÿ”ง M1: The Ultimate Joinery Woodworking Tool Kit for DIY Carpentry Projects by Bill Lacy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Don't overpay for a Kreg K4 or similar

Maybe like me you've seen the wonders of pocket hole gauges and then rushed off to buy them just to to find a few bewildering bewildering array of options. all for your hard-earned dollars. With the exception of the most important factory settings, you'll quickly find yourself looking at simple well blocks that you clamp yourself and kits that help you set the right depth and provide the clamping. Names Craig and Armor. The Armor Auto Jug seems to have durability issues, but other than that it seems like a good attachment and possibly the easiest to use. creg I picked it up (K4) and quickly returned it as the depth indicators on the drill block were missing. Massca caught my attention as it was cheaper. and is made entirely of aluminum instead of the plastic of the other two. After the initial design and handling of the Kreg K4. I can unreservedly recommend Massca. Unlike the Kreg, it can be infinitely adjusted with set screws and a predetermined number of holes. It has metric measurements in addition to imperial measurements for continental (or 3D printed nerds) guys. Finally, the Kreg screws work with these holes, and the screwdriver that comes with the Massca drives the Kreg screws. Seriously, if you're not looking at K5 and up or similar systems, get this one. For me it's not only easier on the wallet, it's just a better tool.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Could you have opted for a newer model
