Pocket Hole Screw Systems [Posted on 2007-05-09]
I had put off making cabinets because my few feeble attempts at using dowels were a failure. Never could get them to align properly even using doweling jigs that cost nearly as much as this tool.
I needed to spruce up my garage and wanted some custom sized wall cabinets. After watching Norm on The New Yankee Workshop use the pocket screw system, I ordered this tool from Amazon and went for it.
Kreg R2 Rocket Pockethole System
I must say I was amazed at how easy it was and how tightly the joints on the face frames fit together. My cabinets turned out very nice.
I used poplar for the face frames and used the 1-1/4 inch coarse screws.
Tip: Buy an assortment of the screws in different lengths. They come in handy for non-pocket uses due to the #2 square drive head. I used the 2-1/2 inch screws to mount the cabinets on the walls.
It's a nice tool for the occasional cabinet maker and I'm sure I will find other projects to make use of it.
Great for the beginner and more. [Posted on 2007-10-21]
I love it, love it, love it. There's a few things in woodworking life that I adore, a sharp set of chisels, a dialed-in table saw, and this Kreg pocket hole kit. I call it a kit because it's just enough to start getting experience and having fun, but then you want the master system.
The plastic is light and functional. The clamp is sufficient. I use other clamping methods to fit the need and use. First time user, I practiced using it, adjusting the depth collar and hole alignment to get it down just right.
What a product! [Posted on 2007-11-03]
This does everything you want it to do. If you know what pocket screws are the Kreg is the legend, if you don't do woodwork, don't waste your time or money. This is the real thing! Highly recommended. See their other items, they are great time savers and make your work professional!

although it's a early model I love it. easy to use and alot quicker than using biscuits when applicable
GREATEST LITTLE TOOL [Posted on 2008-04-26]
This is probably one of the best little tools I have in my arsenal. Glueing boards together or any kind of a butt joint is a snap with this little jewel. I love it and would highly recommend it to any woodworker. The only problem in this area is finding retailers that carry it. Don't let that hold you back though because you can get everything you need for supplies if you have to at AMAZON for very reasonable prices. I have recommended this to friends and they are very happy that I did. No more doweling or biscuit joining for me. This is too simple and accurate.
