Kreg Jig K5 Master System with Pocket Hole Screw Kit

Although I am new to Pocket Hole building the Kreg jig works great. The setup was easy and strait forward. In just a few minutes I was up and running making a table saw workbench. The joints are super strong and they almost square themselves . I put together the base and after cleaning up I thought oh no I didn't check for square. When I checked, all edges were right on.I chose the K5 instead of the K4 for the locking handle. Once dialed in this thing holds the wood securely and it does not slip during drilling. It is super fast to go to the next piece.The only issue I have with the jig is that the number scales are hard to read. I found a hack on Pintrest (I don't know if Amazon allows for external links in reviews) just search for "Kreg jig with white paint" and you will find it. It makes the number scale POP.One thing I did find is with using construction 2 x 4s the screws will push through while screwing because of the soft wood.. Just take care while screwing and you wont have a problem.Overall I love this Kreg Jig K5 Master System with Pocket Hole Screw Kit (5-Sizes) It comes with everything you need to start your journey of Pocket Hole building. The jig creates Strong joints and it is so easy to setup.

Bought this to construct a 6' deck box to store our patio furniture cushions in. Ended up drilling probably around 150 holes with it in a combination of cedar and pine, all said and done and every single one of them was perfect. The auto-tensioning clamp works perfectly and the unit is solidly constructed. My only gripe would be the somewhat flimsy way the vacuum attachment just snaps into place. With my shopvac hose attached, on a couple of occasions it would cause it to pop out, but for the most part it worked so I am not docking any stars for it. Most of the stock I worked with was only 5" wide, but for the few 3' sections I worked with, I didn't find the extensions to be too terribly useful, but they are a great place to store the drill bit, driver, depth guide, etc. The clamp my kit came with is really nice too..solid and easy to use. I ended up using the 1-1/4" course screws up for my project and had to run to HD and get more. Not sure if I will use most of the other types of screws anytime soon, but will be nice to have them on hand for whatever next project comes up I can use this with.Overall, having this item made my project so much easier to build. Great investment.

This was a purchase to aid me in the timely completion of a project of bedside tables that I made in a newer (and much smaller) workspace.I'm impressed! Enough so that I've used it for more than one project already and look forward to finding the next project to use it on.Well-made; tight tolerances; nicely molded and formed. Everything fits tight on the whole assembly, and with a few practice runs most people should be able to figure it out pretty quickly, given some basic math skills.The clamp mechanism is fantastic, and really makes fast time of moving from piece-to-piece. I'd consider buying just the clamp, frankly!Do you NEED to use their proprietary screws? Well, no...but SHOULD you use them? Well, yes. They've a nice flat flange and drive very straight, i.e. I believe you're getting a good product for the price you pay, despite its expense. I suppose if anyone is breaking the bank over their fastener expenses, perhaps it's time to reevaluate their lifestyle choices.My sole regret is honestly not buying the next level up and turning this into a more stationary tool in my shop area.Nicely done!

I have never used a pocket hole jig before today. This kit is pricey but worth the money.It only took about 10 minutes to set everything up for a quick trial run. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. The materials are very high quality and the whole machine just has a good feel to it.I took a couple of scraps of 1x6, put them in the jig where they were securely held and within a few minutes had my holes in place. Selecting the proper screw was a breeze with the included chart/instructions.I can see myself looking for reasons to use pocket holes now just to use this tool. It's great!Highly recommended.

I used it on several jobs and it worked like a charm building drawers etc until the pliers gave up and are unusable.

I am a novice when it comes to any type of woodwork. After watching a ton of videos on the Kreg Jig and the differences between the K3, 4 and 5. I decided to go with the K5 Master System. It came with everything to get started and finish a product. I designed and built a large 6 ft x 6 ft "L" shaped computer desk for my daughter. Having the Kreg Jig allowed me to build a sturdy frame and legs and easily attach them to the desk top with no additional bracing or framing that might normally be required without the Kreg. Now that I have this I have a ton of wood projects on my spring to do list that I would have never considered without the Kreg! Excellent product. Easy to set up and use.

I'm not a professional by any stretch. Watched a bunch of youtube videos. Started making cabinets, and this thing puts the boards together well. Super easy to use. Makes the work look professional. Highly recommend. Also got a bunch of 1" screws for putting plywood boards together. Love this thing.

1/22/18 Revised to 5 stars. I sent an email over the weekend, and followed it up with a phone call first thing this morning. They had already sent out the replacement. Can’t ask for anything better than that.Previous review:Soon as I received this immediately put it to use. I planned on using it for shelving. I drilled 30 pocket holes with it when the clamp stopped working. It made a sound like gears were stripped. I followed the instructions for the clamp, but had to give up as I couldn’t get a tight clamp. As this was a project I had to do this weekend, I went out and bought the J4 clamp. It is nowhere near as fancy, but it is much sturdier. Takes longer to set up, but it does the job.
