It performs great and the screws were just the size I needed. I’ll keep this tool for years.

This was an easy to use jig and kit. I used it to build a computer desk and it couldn’t have been easier!

I’ve always been intrigued by finish carpentry methods but the first thing I realized upon inspecting this kit and its instructions was that my considerable electrical and plumbing skills were going to be of little value here. It strikes me that some fine woodworking experience and associated accessories were going to be required for professional looking results. However for anyone motivated enough to acquire these skills, a kit like this is probably a good starting point to get their feet wet.

Very simple to use, not as costly as other brands. The kit comes well packed with everything to get you started.

Overall good tool. I do have some reservations on how long it will last. Each time I used it some of the gray plastic was cut as well leaving me to believe over time the guide holes will get much bigger. Also I found the included dowels won’t work for me, I’ll get a full dowel stick and use a chisel or multi tool to cut them off flush. The angle was not right and would have needed a lot of filler. The tool is very easy to use and I highly recommend that you clamp the jig in place tightly so that it does not wonder when first drilling.The drill bit is very sharp and worked great for me and it was great to have everything in one case. To hold more screws I think I’ll cut out more of the foam. Also I ended up pushing the Allen wrench into the foam so it would not get lost.

I’m really surprised at home much I love this tool. The kit itself seems unnecessary, since it’s mostly just screws, but the jig and the drill bit are awesome.I only with it came with a few clamps, as clamps make it so much more usable.
Beulah Shanahan (verified owner) –
Works Great! I choose this as an alternative to the more expansive Kreg Jig so if that’s you, make the move. All you’ll need is a clamp to secure it to your wood. I highly recommend this jig. Well worth the purchase.

This 89-PIECE POCKET HOLE JIG KIT is nice because it has what you need in one case. You just align both pieces and place the jig on the side. Drill the holes and install the screws using the included bits. Once the screws are installed, you figure which plug to use and install it into the hole with a bit of glue. Cut or sand off the remainder of the plug that is sticking out of the hole and your ready to do the next side.

The yellow sliding gauge to set the depth of the pocket hole would not lock into the 1 1/2″ slot, so I returned it and ordered a Milescraft brand jig. I rated this set 3 stars rather than 2, just because the other components were good.

This General Tools Pocket Hole Jig Kit (89-Piece) overall is not a bad product. It comes with 5 different type of screws. Fine thread for hardwood and course thread for soft wood such as pine, fir and ceder. The 3/8 inch step drill bit with a stop collar for setting the depth of the pocket hole to the thickness of the wood is easy to set. The 6 inch square head bit drives the screws good. The reason for only 3 stars is due to the depth setting configuration. Looking at a picture of the pocket hole jig is a yellow sliding level that you set to the thickness of the wood you are joining. The BIG problem with it is you can not see the scale! You can feel the the indentations but with no contrasting color it is unreadable. If General Tools would have marked them in a contrasting color I would have gone with 5 stars. But since they didn’t everything in this kit except the jig will be used in my Kreg Pocket Hole Jig.

The pocket hole get was simple to use and with the various screws that came with the kit, the first experience was positive.

This is very similar to so some other brands of pocket hole kits, but at a slightly lower price, plus a couple additional frustrations.Everything needed is included in the kit except for a clamp, and you will definitely need one, preferably a strong locking c-clamp style. Other brands include this or at least include a grove in the body of the pocket hole jig for the clamp to fit, a feature lacking here.If you are new to using pocket hole screws, you might find this kit frustrating, since I considered the directions to be poorly written and poorly illustrated. There is a nice adjustment guide for determining the setting for proper location of the drill stop, but it is made of cardboard instead of something more durable like plastic. I needed to use solvent to remove a warning tag from around the bit, cautioning to use the right speed when drilling, but nowhere was it stated what that proper speed should be. The bit included with the set is long enough for the common 3/4 inch thicknesses, but if you want to use this kit for 1 inch or thicker boards, you will need a different bit, which isn’t included. The sliding depth selection gauge is a nice feature, but the thickness markings are hard to read, especially in bright light.I like that there is a nice case to keep all of the materials, and the included screws are a nice touch, but the wood filler dowels were cut to the wrong angle and seemed to fit a bit loose. The system works fine with this kit, and the results are satisfactory, and this kit should work well if you are using it in a home-shop, and not on a regular basis.If you have already decided that you need a pocket hole kit, do your homework and check around, so that you know what various kits contain. If this is new to you, check tutorial videos online so you have a better idea what to look for.

Just what I was looking for

I wanted to hide the screws on a deck project and at the same time try and create a better bond by not splitting the wood. I was really surprised at how well this product worked. I felt it brought me to a higher level wood working. The product is very strong and should last a long period of time, and I kinda of like the design without the built in clamp in that it’s more universal. Definitely worth the cost and a great item to have in your tool box.

No more guessing and redrilling. Easy chart to calculate, and no more broken bits! Item is Just like the kreg jig. Make sure you have a clamp or five.
Marion Bernhard (verified owner) –
I like this tool. Works very great. The only problem I had was the yellow plastic part which helps with drilling the correct hole depth. It doesn’t hold in place very well when trying to drill longer holes. But other than that it works just fine.
Jermey Kulas (verified owner) –
this pocket jig is very well made and has every thing that you are looking for to try and get started in making hidden pocket holes for in wood working. I think that this is the perfect size for some one to have in any hobbyists arsenal for hiding all your great work. I think for the money this is just as good as the other brands aka Kreg and is a great bang for the buck.

I don’t use pocket holes very often in my woodworking, but enough to know what I like and don’t like about them. The thickness of wood I commonly would use pocket holes on is 3/4 inch and 1 1/2 inch. Seldom anything else. For 3/4 inch holes on single boards this system works well. Clean holes, easy to set up and the screws go in just as you would expect. Bad news there was it made for a weak joint. My first thought was maybe I didn’t measure it right, so I double checked it and I was right on the money. My second thought was the screws themselves. I replaced them with a different brand of screws and it made a very firm connection. So my recommendation here would be to invest in screws in the size you most commonly use, but invest in better screws. So far so good. Then I went to try a 1 1/2 inch board, no can do for a couple reasons. One you have to go buy a special 7 inch drill bit. Secondly the base locks into all the other size board thickness, but not the 1 1/2. So while it says it can do up to 1 1/2, I would say don’t use for 1 1/2 inch boards. You can do it, but it not as good there as it was for 3/4 inch. I also found adding a pocket hole into a pre-exsisting joint to tighten it up clumsy at best. So if your plan is to put pocket holes into wood 1 inch thick or smaller, this jig is easy to use and will do the job you want it to. For thicker boards, you will have to fork out for another drill bit and I also recommend investing in better screws.

Works well! Very easy to use, and the holes it makes seem great.
