Kreg Handheld Pocket Hole Jig PRO Review

Allows you to drill holes at the right angle. Worked great for a home computer desk project with the desk aprons attached. Very happy with the pocket holes and ease of use. The holes I made were in 3/4 pine board. Perfectly centered and the included screws are carefully tightened with an impact wrench. I'm not a carpenter but I'm sure it looks like I know what I'm doing or has given me some confidence!

I used the Kreg R3 light for years until I finally broke part of it. I decided it was time for an update even though I don't do much pocket hole carpentry. Holy cow, this device is way easier to use! Simply slide the workpiece into the fixture and pull the trigger to tighten. The trigger clamp holds the part securely enough for drilling.

I think for $100 there should be a test pack of 50 x 1" screws plus two more lengths. Also, the 1/2" plywood I use is actually 15/32" thick, and even 1" countersunk screws place the tip of the screws very close to the edge of the plywood. Hope they don't break through. I won't know until those 1" screws arrive…
