This was so worth the money! It saved so much time, it is awesome!

Easy to use, precise. Metal guides assure consistent placement of pin holes.

Drilling shelf pins without a guide is almost impossible. Kregs giude made it easy and possible.

I bought the Kreg shelf pin jig for my special book case. The jig made drilling over 100 shelf holes a lot easier then trying to drill the holes out using a tape measure.

This is a great tool!

This jig may not be super necessary but it does make the job of setting shelf pin holes so much easier. If you are making a lot of cabinets with movable shelfing then i would recommend getting this jig. Very easy to set up and use.

A bit over priced for what it is like other kreg products but I didnt find any other options. My only other complaint is that it doesnt come with a plastic storage box either.

adjustable shelves are time consuming. This jig took away some of the concern about getting it right. Kreg pocket hole jigs are also great for making a strong connection. The people in the HD Carmel Mountain store paint department are awesome. Namely Kim and Dean. Thanks for your expertise and help.

I love this jig! Quick and easy to use. Included Drill bit (5mm) is extremely sharp and makes work quick and neat. When turning jig to do the opposite side, holes are not exact but are so close it is not noticed when shelves are in place. I suppose I should give it 4 stars but I am so pleased with it, I have to give it 5 (and I have to consider the slight difference may be due to my construction !). I am a 75 yr-old woman and am making a hidden shelf rack to go behind a full-length mirror. Purchased the jig for this purpose last month (ordered Mar 28 and received via free shipping on Apr 2) and just used a couple of days ago. Pictures are of the 5 foot frame with some shelves placed just for the photo–ready to stain or paint if I ever make up my mind.For those of you who ask if the jig can be used with a 1/4in drill bit, the answer is yes. The pin guide included is 5mm on one end and 1/4in on the other so you do not need anything extra to use this kit with your 1/4in drill bit. I was so pleased with this, I bought the Kreg Crown Pro Molding Tool but haven’t used it yet. (Slow worker)

Too short. It needs to have a extension to get to average shelf height.
Modesto Ruecker (verified owner) –
The directions were easy to understand. I bought two of these jigs. The connecting pieces, drill and aligning pins all mount underneath the jog. Simple and elegant – great product.
Dawn Homenick (verified owner) –
Jig worked excellent, easy to setup and use. The drill bit did leave a lot of tear out which was disappointing. I used a corded drill and a cordless drill with no difference in the amount of tear out. Overall for a home DIYer the jig was great.

I have a number of Kreg products, and overall I’m a fan of Kreg’s product. When it came time to build some cabinets that needed shelving, the Kreg shelf pin jig seem like a no-brainer. Unfortunately the product lacks some features that would make me recommend it.While the layout of the holes is symmetrical on the jig (good, as the jig needs to be flipped for opposite sides), there are no reference marks on the side of the jig to center a hole over a line. I think this would be a really useful feature, and I don’t quite understand why something as simple as a reference mark on the jig is not included.So, I suggest before you do any critical drilling of holes is get the jig centered on a line, and place a mark on the edge of the jig to aid in alignment. Clamping. I originally tried to use a squeeze clamp , but found the force of the drill can move the jig out of alignment. I suggest going to a C-type clamp as you will need the additional force to keep the jig from moving.Lastly, the drill bit is really horrible. This is pretty well documented on one of the major online retailers. It bites rather aggressively and can tear up plywood. I would suggest going to a good quality quarter-inch bit (non-Brad point). I had much better results that way.On my first project I was using finish plywood, and the jig pretty much ruined the wood. it wasn’t a case of just sanding down the high spots. The bit was so aggressive it actually pulled some of the inner plies towards the surface and created a hill . If I was to try to sand them out I would go right through the veneer. Do yourself a favor and get yourself a brand-new, good quality bit. It will save you headaches believe me! I like the fact that the jig has a place for the drill bit on the back, and a built-in depth stop, but seems like they could’ve went a little further and made a place for the Allen wrench for the stop collar. That’s one of those items that tends to get lost. Lastly, I would say to insert your bit three quarters of the way into the jig, then make sure your drill is on high speed before you start boring. This will prevent tear out.The best advice I could probably give is to practice on some scrap first. This jig is not quite as straightforward as it would seem. I would also suggest if you’ve got a really tall cabinet is to cut some scraps of wood to align the jig as opposed to using a measuring tape. It’s really easy to get make a mistake measuring the distance from the bottom of a cabinet to the bottom of the jig. The stop block ensures the jig will remain accurately aligned. Again, make sure you use a C-type clamp, and not one of the spring type clamps. They are not strong enough. I think this jig can produce excellent results if you replace the drill bit with a better quality one, and take the time to make yourself some stop blocks to align the jig.
