Big fan of the Kreig Pocket Hole line! Easy enough for a beginner. Don't forget the clamp!

I have a Kreg HD mount and a smaller Kreg mount kit. This kit is only for bigger holes/bolts than the other kit.

  • If you are building walls, railings, patio furniture, fences, benches

I've increased my rating to 5 stars for a quality product and great customer service. While drilling blind holes can be time consuming vs just bridging the joint and using glue/screws, it's definitely worth it for a clean look. I have used the standard Kreg Jig for 3/4 plywood and board and have been happy with its…
