Simple to use and set up, the Kreg Jig K5 allows skilled craftsmen and DIY woodworkers to construct furniture, cabinetry and other wood-joined creations with strong, tight-fitting joints. Drilling perfectly deep and angled pocket holes is a cinch thanks to a tool-free clamp that easily and tightly positions a 1/2 in. to 1-1/2 in. workpiece into place. A quick-release 3-hole drill guide on the jig slides up and down to match board thickness while a stop-collar setting block allows precise depth stop measurement. To make repeated holes of the same dimensions on several pieces of wood, use the adjustable workpiece stop to quickly and accurately line up your boards along the base before clamping into place. The removable extension wings provide support for long or wide workpieces and the built-in swiveling dust collection port keeps your work area clean by allowing attachment of a 1-1/4 in. vacuum hose.

There is a bit of a learning curve but this jig is easy to use and makes a strong joint! I literally used it to widen my work bench table top so I could set this jig up

Excellent little tool. Highly recomend spending a little extra on the K5 vs the K4.

While pocket holes are not the perfect solution for every joint, I find myself using this more and more. And pocket holes are easy and you don’t have to be accurate.Recently I’ve used it to build a new pantry for our on-going kitchen remodel, as you can see in the picture I’ve attached. The panty (besides the doors) is put together entirely with pocket hole screws and glue. Nothing else. From the box to the face frame. And it’s rock solid. An out of the box use… I needed to extend the kitchen fascia for the new pantry and pocket holes to the rescue. Made it much easier to attach the 2X4’s. Sure better than toe nailing and so much more of a solid joint.I am not crazy about the plastic side pieces so I mounted the unit in my miter saw bench, giving me plenty of room for just about any size piece I need.If you are trying to decide between this and the K4, get this one because it has the locking handle is in the front, so much better. Having the handle in the back doesn’t make a lot of sense. More so when you are drilling bigger pieces, like cabinet parts. The dust collection is a very nice feature on this unit as well, works quite well.Like I said, even though it’s not perfect for every joint, I’ve gotten hooked on pocket holes and sure I will be using them more and more.This jig is well worth the money and will pay for itself.

The clamp on the jig didn’t work so Kreg sent me another and now it works great! So much easier then clamping onto each board.

I haven’t used it much yet but it seems to be well built. It is working as well as my other Kreg jig as far as hole placement and quality. Adjustments are easy to make and when mounted to a table it very stable. The wings seemed a bit flimsy until I mounted the jig on a board but now its fine.

I upgraded my old Kreg system to this one and I’m glad it did. The locking mechanism is quick and easy to operate one handed. The wings out to the side are great for helping keeping large pieces steady. I attached it to 3/4” MDF board and that helps with clamping it down.

First of all let me just start by saying this is my first jig. I did my research and so glad I decided on this one. Very sturdy and makes things much easier and stronger. Would definitely recommend to those interested in getting a jig.

Assembly was easy, once I watched a video of how to set it all up.
Annette Robel (verified owner) –
Good product. will work for what I need.
Zelda Hartmann (verified owner) –
Really easy to use has a nice little storage space for extra screws
Don Grant (verified owner) –
The jig has worked perfectly for me building a small cabinet. I also used just hole guide out of the jig to fix shelf in our pantry. I’ve had this system maybe 3 weeks and it has performed as advertised!
Michele Crona (verified owner) –
This thing was pretty straight forward out of the box, so set up was easy. Clamping the board down is very easy, and really quick. While the storage containers are a little small, they are more than enough to keep the tools that come with the kit. I highly recommend purchasing this jig.
