    Kreg Joinery: No Glue or Complicated Math Required
    The Kreg Jig Master System takes advantage of a technique called Kreg Joinery. Unlike other techniques, Kreg Joinery requires no glue, no complicated math, and no small army of clamps to make wood joints that will last.

    With Kreg Joinery, you can finish projects in hours instead of days. You won't spend any time clamping, waiting for glue to dry, or wading through complicated math. It essentially involves drilling a hole at an angle into one workpiece, and connecting it to another workpiece with a self-tapping screw.

    Amazingly Strong with Half the Effort
    Unlike mortise and tenons, dowels, and biscuits, the self-tapping screws inside of every Kreg Joint hold the stock together without glue. You don't have to worry about precisely lining up dowel holes, or spending hours cutting a perfect mortise and tenon--you simply drill the holes, drive the screws, and move on to the next project.

    And because what you see is what you get with Kreg Joinery, you won't spend all your time calculating stock-overlaps and dry-fitting individual workpieces. All you need is simple math to get fast and accurate results.

    Kreg Jig Master System: The Ultimate Kit for Kreg Joinery
    The Kreg Jig Master System is designed for the serious woodworker or woodworking enthusiast. It can be used for thousands of applications, including furniture making and cabinetry...even simple household repairs.

    The Kreg Jig Master System includes everything you need to get started with Kreg Joinery. Its easy-access front-side clamp puts everything within arm's reach and increases the speed of your work. The dust collection shroud snaps easily in place and connects to all standard 1-1/4-inch hoses, letting you say goodbye to woodchips once and for all.

    The system's Material Support Stop adjusts to the edge of the board to precisely repeat pocket-hole positions, then swings out of the way for panels. The Drill Guide Block slides in 1/8-inch increments to center a screw in material from 1/2-inch to 1-1/2-inches thick, providing you with virtually unlimited adjustability.

    If you're new to Kreg, Kreg also offers the Kreg Jig (model K4), which is ideal for beginners. For basic woodworking or home repair projects, the Kreg Jig Jr. (model R3) has what you need to get started.

    The Kreg Difference
    While each Kreg Jig has its own features designed to meet the particular needs of its users, all Kreg Jigs share a design and high-quality construction which add up to the "Kreg Difference."

    Each Kreg Jig features hardened steel drill guides that carry a 100-percent lifetime guarantee. The body of each Kreg Jig is made from a heavy-duty glass-reinforced nylon that offers the resiliency and flexibility you need without sacrificing strength and durability.

    To create a cleaner pocket-hole and a more finished appearance, all Kreg Jigs shroud the bit and support the workpiece through 100-percent of the drill-stroke. The end result is minimal bit deflection, reduced tear-out, and a clean, pluggable Pocket-Hole fit for finished work.

    Every Kreg Jig also features an optimized 15 degree drilling angle designed to increase driving efficiency and minimize the overall size of the Pocket-Hole. This same Pocket-Hole can be created by the Kreg Jig in materials from 1/2- to 1-1/2 inches thick.

    The Kreg Jig Master System includes a 30 Day Customer Satisfaction Guarantee and Lifetime Warranty on its Hardened Steel Drill Guide.

    What's in the Box
    Kreg Jig Master System, portable base, face clamp, stepped drill bit, 6-inch square driver, 3-inch square driver, starter screw set, starter plug set, detailed instruction manual, and durable carrying case.

    Summary: Former biscuit guy
    Comment:
    I used to be a biscuit guy. Now I'm hooked on Kreg pocket screw joinery. I just built a queen size bed as my first project. It was so much easier than using biscuits for the ninety degree offset joints...just set up, clamp, drill and screw. I'll probably still use biscuits for joining flat boards for wide table tops, etc., but the Kreg system made making the bed a breeze. Buy an assortmwnt of screws and a few clamps...it is a perfect system.

    Summary: Kreg K3 Master Pocket Hole Jig System Rocks!
    Comment:
    I had been planning a project to hide my safe in my den next to a Teak wall unit. I had extra large
    pieces of teak from another wall unit not being used in my new home. I'm somewhat handy and have
    other power tools. But, like everyone else in today's world, I had little time to devote to such a
    project and make it look clean and functional. My wife is a clean freak, which is not bad. But,
    it does put a damper on my weekend projects if I can't rapped up quickly, if you know what I mean?

    The Kreg Jig System fit the bill perfectly by being able to create fast and strong joints with a clean
    looking compartment with no nails or screws visable from the outside. On top of the new constructed
    section built, I have a rather large and heavy older model Oki color laser printer. No sweat! I can most
    likely stand on that compartment and not worry about collapse. The safe is hidden now and not an eye sore
    in an otherwise sharp looking den/office. My next upgrade will be French Doors to that room.

    Of course, now that I have this new "man toy" I have found other uses like re-inforcing existing
    high quality wooden chairs we had. As far as I'm concerned, the Kreg Jig System has paid for itself
    by not having to hire someone to construct the box or replace what we had. You would be surprised what
    you can find around the house to create new stronger joints.

    Plus, it makes a darn goodwill tool with the neighbors because they don't have their own. For me, back
    for borrowing their compound miter saw or wet tile saw, etc. Plus, that another way to get them to come
    over and help you out, so they can learn first hand what to do themselves.

    That's it! Good quality product which should last a long time. Do yourself and get an extra bit and
    a box of extra screws so you are not hassled later down the road. As usual, Amazon purchase and free
    delivery was hassle free and smooth sailing.

    Summary: Drill, Drive & Done
    Comment:
    I bought this for my husband in January of 2007 and most recently I've been using it nearly every day. We were skeptical that it could be as easy as "Drill, Drive & Done" like they said in the video - but it REALLY is. Adjusting it is easy with simple instructions and the face clamp that comes with it is awesome. I've bragged about it so much that I have family members who decided to buy one too. It's money well spent!

    Summary: Amazing tool
    Comment:
    This is a realy well thought out tool. The quality is great too. I bought it for one specific project but now find I use it for all sorts of things. It's amazing how quick you can put stuff together with it. However, I would say that I don't use the vice grips much. For accurate butt joints I use a parallel clamp to get everything aligned, then run the screws in. With the vice grips the two pieces tend to slide a little as the crew goes in. Pre-drilling hardwood tends to help too. Highly recommend.
