Kreg Kreg Jig K5 Master System with Pocket Hole Screw Kit (5 Sizes)

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.

We wanted to replace the upstairs and downstairs railings in our home, but did not want to pay the $8,000 quote we received to have someone do the work. I decided to do the work myself and decided to use pocket holes and screws to attach the railings to the newel posts. This tool made the process quick and easy. The pocket hole joints are very strong and after applying a little stain to the holes they were practically invisible. The railing turned out beautifully. I initially thought the cost of the tool was a little high, but after using it repeatedly on this project I can definitely say that it was worth every penny. If you have a project that requires pocket holes this tool is a must.

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 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.

Great engineering on this product. I've used it a few times and works great once you get the 5 minute crash course on how to set it up. My only complaint is the same complaint I have with all Kreg products. You're paying a fairly premium price for a tool that is made out of plastic. Of course it's dense plastic that may stand the test of time but for $160+ for something this small you'd think they could make it out of metal.
