Kreg Joinery: No Glue or Complicated Math Required
The Kreg Jig Jr. 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 Jr: The Perfect Home-Repair Tool
The Kreg Jig Jr. is an amazing repair jig with a compact design that lets you work where you need to most. Thanks to its Clamp Pad Adapter, the Jr. can be secured to the workpiece with any standard bar clamp or c-clamp. In addition, the adapter allows the jig to be attached directly to any Kreg Face Clamp (sold separately) for faster and more repeatable pocket-holes.

From thin drawer boxes and craft projects to stout 2x4's, this jig can handle them all. Independent Easy-Press positioning sliders feature nine separate depth settings, allowing you to easily join materials from 1/2-inch to 1-1/2-inches thick in 1/8-inch increments. And to set the jig properly, you simply depress the button on the side of the jig and move the sliders so your material thickness is aligned with the arrow on the jig body. It couldn't be any easier.

The Kreg Jig Jr. includes a compact, durable plastic carrying case that will ensure that you always have the tool, drill bit, and screws on hand to complete your next project. As a bonus, the case features a molded depth collar gauge for a handy reference.

In addition to the Kreg Jig Jr. (model R3), Kreg offers DIYers and anyone new to Kreg joinery the Kreg Jig (model K4). For serious wood workers, Kreg offers the Kreg Jig Master System (model K3MS), the ultimate kit for Kreg Joinery.

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."



Kit includes everything you need to get started.
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 Jr. includes a 30 Day Customer Satisfaction Guarantee and Lifetime Warranty on its Hardened Steel Drill Guide.

What's in the Box
Kreg Jig Jr., clamp pad adapter, stepped drill bit, 6 driver bit, depth collar, allen wrench, starter screw set, and durable carrying case.

5 out of 5 stars This is one slick little tool   July 19, 2010
Alan Darge (Farmington Hills, MI)
This is incredibly easy to use and produces a very strong joint. The tool is very well made and certainly looks as though it will give very good service for a long time. The kit is a very good deal and includes everything I need.


4 out of 5 stars This is good -- but Kreg K4 is probably what you want   June 11, 2010
D. Oliver (SF, CA USA)
I bought this item about a month ago and used it for about 40 pockets on a big project. In general I was pretty happy with it and the strength of the joints is great.

A couple of things -- if you are doing more than just the occasional pocket hole, then it's really a good idea to add a Kreg KHC-PREMIUM Face Clamp to this setup. The included face attachment makes it fast to tear down and set up from one location to the next.

And building on that, if you are doing more than a handful of pockets -- and if you're buying a tool for it, you probably are -- then I think the Kreg Jig K4 Pocket Hole System is what you'll really want. When you figure the price of a face clamp into the Jr. jig, the K4 isn't really that much more expensive and I think it would be a whole lot faster and more consistent.

All that said, this Jr. jig definitely works as advertised -- I just downgraded to 4 stars because I think there is a better option for most users.

This reduced price is the price it has been for weeks. Now they raise the price and slash it to the same price and promote it as a sale. Pitiful...


5 out of 5 stars pocket hole jig   May 19, 2010
Kirby Greene (Mineola, TX. United States)
So far I have only used this once, but it was easy to use and did the job for which it was intended.


5 out of 5 stars It's as good as everyone is saying   April 26, 2010

I just got to use the pocket hole jig for my first project. It was a couple of upright boxes that will hold the steel tubes for my temporary garage and boat house. The two boxes went together very fast. The jig was easy to use and very accurate. I used 64 screws in each box, and the second one took only 1 1/2 hours to put together. The joints are very strong (they need to be, each box will hold about 100 lbs of steel tubing).

Buy the extra screws. Replacements aren't all that expensive. I've seen boxes of 500 for $14.00.
