I'm glad I made this purchase.

This is a great addition to my workshop. I used to use a set of pocket Kreg mini screws that had to be manually pressed into the work piece. It did its job but I needed something stronger and not bulky for the clamp. I considered buying a Kreg system for a workbench but saw one at a much cheaper price. So far I have not regretted the purchase. It's durable, performs the same functions, and costs less. For me it's a win-win situation.

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Too sensitive: power tool and hand tool

I used it to fasten regular 1" x 3" boards and on the sixth or seventh hole the drill bit broke (the smaller diameter part) and made the whole set unusable. . The wood I use is very soft so I don't know why it can break so easily as the drill bit is powered by a jig and it's not easy to turn to break. Probably got caught in a knot on the board (didn't think to check). Buying a replacement drill bit ($20) seems about as expensive as buying a new set. Disappointing!

  • This is great

The best option out there! Better than expensive counterparts!

Well I just looked back and realized I've had this fixture for almost two years now. I've made a lot of furniture out of it over the last two years, including a large sideboard for my wife, a coat rack, DVD shelves and more. I can say it takes a little longer because you have to drill through each piece, but if you add some wood glue to each piece and then twist them together they are exceptionally strong! I can confidently say that this thing is phenomenal. I feel like the furniture I built is

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Compatibility

Works just as good as the $129 model sold by Kg Love this kit. All I had to do was screw both pieces onto a 12" x 14" piece of plywood. The jig is a great tool to speed up pocket hole drilling. It seems very precise and has an easy threaded hole depth adjustment. I recommend this jig is for anyone, especially the average carpenter looking to get into pocket hole carpentry. With the device, even large pieces of wood can be quickly and easily joined together. This is a great tool at aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Not the best

CMT PPJ-02 Pocket-Pro Starter Kit is excellent for pocket gauges. Thickness of the boards, simply loosen the two knobs and slide the template up or down to adjust for the thickness of the wood. Used the jig the day after it arrived this week to build a cedar planter box as a Mother's Day gift. Worked with a variety of cedar boards, 1x4, 1x6, 2x4, 4x4Kit came with a pocket hole gauge, barrel clamp, drill bit (with a retaining ring already attached), screwdriver and a few pocket hole screwsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Great value for money

My brother has a Kreg pocket hole tool but I needed my own tools so I looked up Revain and found this CMT pocket hole tool. It was about two-thirds the cost of a similar blue light, so I decided to take a chance and give it a try. I was most concerned about the quality compared to the blue brand. Well I was very happy with the quality and design of this light. I suspected it might be made in China, like most instruments these days, but as far as I can tell it's made in the EU. At least theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Hard to say
