Review on πŸ”¨ Enhance Your Deck with the Kreg Deck Jig - The Ultimate Deck-building Tool by Roberto Strumer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Happy with tensioner not screws

I bought this clamp with 700 painted screws. Jig served its purpose and looks like it will hold up for more projects. The screws did not fit into the metal holes in the bracket. So I had to screw in the screws without tools. Judging by the reviews of the screws, they really have quality control issues. Next time I'll probably use a hole punch and use GRK trim screws since the Kreg screws don't go through the metal pilot holes anyway. Luckily I used about 600 screws and didn't round them off. a little bit more. I have a feeling people have trouble rounding off the proprietary bit quickly because they used a metal stop that was supposed to prevent the screw from going too deep. The idea is that when the screw reaches the right depth, the bit will pop out of the head of the screw while it's still turning. After a few hundred times I see this destroying the tip of the bit. Freedom of action should help mitigate this. In addition, if you lightly file the tip of the drill, you can restore the previously destroyed drill.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Damaged
