Ten Kreg Tools I Love (and one I hate)
In this video we go over ten Kreg tools that we love and one that we hate. Kreg does a great job of making affordable tools that also work really well for the average DIY'er and for the most part, we enjoy their tools. But there is one that was a swing and a miss...

The dust-off dance by your cheery shop teammate made me smile!
My beloved wife bought me the Kreg Track Saw and it is incredible! Yeah, it isn’t a Festool, but I also have a 8-year old Nissan Frontier that ain’t a Ford F250, but it meets my needs!
Good insights and feedback. Thank you. I only have the Kreg Rip-Cut tool and love it. I've used it several times. Looking forward to getting more of their products.
The Kreg concealed hinge jig works great. I was able to install door hinges in the kitchen cabinet doors I've made.
I like the relaxed way you speak without the over excited way some speak. your information is clear and you get the message across very well, so I will subscribe to your channel. thank you.
I bought the Crosscut Station a few weeks ago and man I'm so happy I got it. I only own simple power tools like a circular saw, jig saw, oscillating saw, drill and sander, and I was struggling to make accurate and consistent cross cuts. It really does work so well, and saves me from buying a miter saw.
I just bought the cross cut station and can't wait to put it together. I built cabinets just using my circular saw last year, no other saws, and that was a huge pain to get it just right. I'm hoping I'll have an easier time with the station for the next set of cabinets I make.
I find the Kreg Foreman an major addition to my shop. I have had it for about 8 years. It simplifies a project with many pocket holes. And with the addition of the mini and larger bits it becomes even more versatile.
Kreg Rip jig.. Rate: 1. I tried it on 2 saws, hate it! Cabinet hardware jig. a 9 for me. Did my sister in laws 9 drawers with it, worked great. Shelf pin jig. 10. Love it I've had my pocket hole jig from Kreg for 15 years now, still rocking on! Now, I'm trying to work with the drawer slide jig, and wish I'd bought the Rockler one instead, but we'll see. Not tried anything else yet
I have quite a couple of Kreg products and although I've found most of them quite useful, I've had my share of issues with them too. I've lost at least two of those stupidly small connecting screws that are used to join the Accu-Cut's two tracks together, so I wish they were available separately. I bought the handle pull jig without realising that the drawers I wanted to use it on were much too deep, so I just used the jig as a template to make my own larger one, and then used the removable parts from the jig on that, so in the end it was no train smash, just took more time. It may be plasticky and the dust extraction attachment may pop out without warning if I don't position the vacuum hose just so, but I still like my K5 pocket hole jig. Pretty sure the price was excessive though. Probably my most-used, least expensive and therefore most-loved Kreg tools are the eight 6” sellf-adjusting clamps I bought on special from a local woodworking tool shop. They're quite different from the normal Kreg face clamps in that they're all metal without the soft-touch handles and the clamping surfaces are also a lot smaller than the regular Kreg Automaxx clamps' large round ones, so I think they may have in fact been intended for the metal work industry rather than for woodwork. In dollar terms they were less than US$10 apiece, however, and I haven't yet managed to make any dents in the wood I've clamped with them, no matter how high the clamping force is set. They're also supposed to self-adjust to the thickness of the material, but they're not always very consistent in the amount of force they exert, so I keep adjusting that myself. I also have the folding work table, the 'Mobile Project Centre,' and it was one of the first Kreg products I bought when I started out and needed somewhere to work on. I found it useful and sturdy enough, if a little small, and by rights I could be looking for another one, but if I compare the price they're going for now to that of the Bora Centipede system the latter certainly seems to make a lot more sense. I can in fact buy a Centipede that's much larger than two Kregs joined together for quite a bit less than the price of one more Kreg project centre and throw my own sheet of plywood on there as a top!
Looking at the accu-cut, thanks for the honest comments and good information.
I've also got another video where I do a deep dive into that one and the rip cut if you're interested
@@DebtFreeDIY Thank you, will check them out
Thank you! Informative and concise. The chapter marks on the vid are so helpful!
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for taking the time to watch!
I agree with you, I have the corner clamp jig and have never been able to use it to any satisfactory conclusion.
Bloody great video... I had my cart open clicking add add add, remove corner clamp. Your videos have been so useful for our upcoming pantry renovation.
Glad to hear it! Appreciate the support! Holler if I can be of any help!
@@DebtFreeDIY Appreciate it heaps! Cheers! 😁😁
You are spot on about the corner clamp. I borrowed one of those, wasn't overly impressed.
Thank you for the tip! The pocket hole clamp has been annoying the few times I used them. 1st time inexperience second time didn’t work with 4x4s to 2x4s.
I own six Kreg tools you mentioned. I love five out of six. The Accu-cut is a back-saver for this ol' retired dude. I can single-handedly cut down sheet goods with great accuracy. It has paid for itself many times over. The 'ghetto' track saw is another great tool for breaking down sheets. I have the shelf pin jig and simply love it. The self-adjust clamps are must haves. The six-inch version gets used with the drawer hardware guide to provide clearance for the drill chuck...one clamping action and I can drill all the necessary holes. I have never run across an instance where I needed to go down the drawer face more than five inches, so that is not an issue for me. Pocket holes. Hmmm. I still have the first jig I got some twenty-someodd years ago, but upgraded to the new small kit when my original drill bit got too dull. I bought two of the forty dollar kits to give myself extraordinary flexibility. Love that thing to death. The single problem I have with pocket holes is/are impact drivers. Do not use them. You will smash out the hole over-torquing the screw, ruin the board and possibly the project. I have a 12v Bosch clutched screwdriver that works like a dream for those screws, and will likely buy two more drills so I have a matching trio of pocket-hole drill bit, a six inch long 1/8" drill bit (I like to finish the screw hole all the way thru so the screw only bites into the joined part) and the six inch #2 Robertson driver. Don't have the pocket hole clamp yet, but Santa will likely get me a few soon... Have but don't find useful...the drawer slide jig. I find it far easier to cut scrap wood spacers than to fiddle around with trying to get proper alignment and spacing with that jig. It is the only blue tool I have that I was disappointed with.
Using a drill is good advice but a variable speed impact driver should give enough control to prevent over torquing. I had the old style single speed dewalt which would frequently snap small screw heads off if you weren't quick to get off the trigger, worked fine but a precision instrument it was not. The new 3 speed DCF887 is well worth the upgrade, I frequently use the lowest setting which is probably slightly less torque than a moderate hand tightening.
I recently got the corner clamp. I too was unimpressed. I'm going to send it back.
I’ve got the pocket hole and the rip cut. Love them both.
5:49 is the best part of this video.... you go boy....you are a lucky man...
Thank you for this video. I am a newbie at all of this making lots of boxes at the moment.
No problem! Drawer boxes, I assume?
The Kreg track saw (ACS) is absolutely worth the jump to that next price point. Great video! Thanks for your insights.
Thanks for the insight. I've been checking it out along with the other players out there. It looks really good!
Glad to see the corner clamp experience - that’s what it looked like they might do, but I’ve been tempted because of the reviews. I think I’ll steer clear. I had that kind of experience with the drawer jig. It was over 1/8” off of square from front to back, which is pretty awful for an operation that requires dead level positioning. Only tool I’ve ever tossed straight in the trash. (I waited too long to use it to be able to return it.)
I have about half if the tools you reviewed. Love my pocket hole jig and my rip-cut. Yet to use the drawer slide jig. Wanting the gauge blocks and drawer pull jig.
In my opinion great post I give it a 10..... your ratings were spot on, I like that you didn't have a intro like other KZheadrs You just got right to the point. I think you only had two B rolls lots of KZheadrs are using them too much. Great post I'll keep watching as you get right to the point
Agree 100% with the intro comment. The only use those noisy, long intros serve is to exercise my FF button. Thank you for getting down to business quickly.
Appreciate the input!
corner clamp 100% agree!!!! Bought it thinking it would speed up some projects I was working on but I've been thoroughly disappointed. Never could get it to clamp tight. Haven't used it since.
Super helpful! Thanks!!
Gotta get the concealed hinge jig. That and the pocket hole jig are my favorite for sure
This is great feedback for me being a beginner DYIer.. I have since brought a couple of the Kreg tools. Many thanks.
Absolutely! Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching!
Right there with you. The right angle clamp was the worst. I returned it immediately.
Great content, thanks. I actually find all of Kregg's clamps hard to use. I find that I have to add a thin sheet of bicycle inner tube tire to get a better grip, otherwise they tend to slip around. But, I think that what bothers me more is how expensive Kregg's clamps are.
I am with you 100.%
I have several Kreg tools. The one I use the most is the multi mark tool. It’s also one of my favorites.
Dude I agree with you have been using those same tools you reviewed and my projects look like they have been made with high end tools. Oh and that corner clamp tool I returned it to the store after one weekends us just fustrating.
Thank you for the guidance. We are new to woodworking and home renovations. Tool suggestions are appreciated. And your wife was adorable in this video!
Glad you found it helpful! And yes, my wife is definitely the real MVP. 😊 Thanks for watching!
Very helpful and informative and entertaining, great video. Thanks 😊
You're welcome, William! Thanks for watching!
I'm glad I found your channel and this particular video. I've had the pocket hole jig 320 for years and loved it so much I bought the 720 last year and love it even more. I been wondering how well the draw slide jig works and that is when your video popped up in my feed. This video answered that question and many more questions I've had especially for the rip-cut and accu-cut attachments. The shelf pin jig looks very handy too.
Glad you found it all helpful! I'm a big fan of all of those items!
I love the concealed hinge jig. About $29 and makes installing hinges easy. Includes Forstner bit and depth stop.
Bingo! And the crown mold jig is a 10 also , love the T track for making a a 32" x 72" clamp up table for cabinet doors and drawers
Love this video, liked and subscribed. Agree with you on the automaxx clamp, a little wonky at times and the corner clamp is just frustrating! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
I love my Kreg tools! One of my favorites is the Adaptive Cutting System Saw. It's basically a plunge saw and a track. I bought an extra track to make rip cuts on sheet goods. I just built my daughter a floor to ceiling fireplace enclosure from 3 sheets of 3/4" ply using ONLY the track saw and a pocket hole jig! ( I don't know how to post pics in comments.)
I have the Rip Cut, Accu Cut, and 520 pocket hole jig. I dont regret buying any of them.
good man may god bless you
Brilliant- thank you!
The Kreg multi mark layout tool is handy. It runs about $16-$18.
Good to know! I've seen it in store but haven't picked one up.
2:10 100% agree I have one and its pure magic to use and so easy ..👍
Thanks for sharing!
I too will give the draw sliders a ten. Had an old cabinet that I wanted a draw at the bottom as well. With using the drawsliders, it ain't rocket science to use. Oh and the draw, I found at a garage sale. I always take a tape measure when I go to those sales. Like, Mitch, I love my Kreg tools too, the few that I have. Although I do have friends with different Kreg tools...we borrow each others. One of them has a K5 jig which I like using, and has the tool pockets either side. He doesn't like the new 720. He tried it at a tool expo and wasn't impressed, but he did say two things...it's what you are used to, re the K5, and someone else will try the 720 and love it. I also have the original small jigs..not as quick as a K5, but for small jobs, my jigs do the honours. I also borrowed his draw handle jig, and the adjustable shelf pin jig...my TV cabinet didn't have enough shelves...but there was plenty of room for two more shelves but the furniture manufacture in their wisdom didn't think of that. It's great having friends with the same brand tools and we return to each in the same way we borrow them. Nice and clean, and in the cases or boxes they came in.
I have many of the tools discussed here (not the corner clamp). the one I hate is the cabinet hardware jig. It has great reviews, but in my experience the flexing of the thin plastic pulls the drill guides out of alignment. I threw it away after smashing it to pieces with a hammer. Very satisfying!
🤣 🤣 🤣 That's the newest one on the list that I own. I have noticed that flexing. I had to loosen up on clamping it.
5:44 Best part of video!!!
Nice video I love Kreg jigs and tools too
I’m amazed by the quality of cut and accuracy I get out of my accu-cut. Perfect for the occasional weekend hobbyist who doesn’t want to invest into a dedicated track saw
Agreed!
The pocket plug cutter is amazing can make plugs from all scrap wood and can match the wood
Nice! I didn't realize that was a thing! Might have to check into it! Thanks for the suggestion!
Great video highlighting Kregs lineup. I have the 6" clamp and it works flawless so yours may just be funky. I'd buy another one if it doesn't work right, the mechanics of it may be off. I bought the single jig first and the K5 a few weeks later. Its amazing and I've never looked back. I want the track saw next. I have a table saw but the track saw looks fun haha. Keep up the good work.
I'm right there with you on the track saw! Thanks so much for the encouragement!
Funny, the 90 degree clamp I have heard is a looser too. Many guys bought it & had problems. Some on Amazon reviews even went as far to say they had to do some fixing to it & then it works right- but that it should have came that way in the 1st place. Thanks for the video. Keeping this one.
Thanks so much for watching! Glad you found it helpful.
I totally agree I bought two of the corner clamps and at first, I liked them but the more I fought with them I detested them. They are someplace in the shop gathering dust. I bought another type and am very happy.
Which type did you purchase?
What was the one you liked?
I was introduced to Kreg tools when the K2 Master System first hit the market in the 1990's. I do a lot of work on cabins in remote locations. So what tools to bring can be an issue, in so much as getting them to the site. Not all sites have roads leading to them. On occasion I've had to fly in, so space and weight are huge factors in a small single engine aircraft. Other than a mitre saw, circular saw, router, some cordless tools, a small generator, and a few other ubiquitous hand tools , I pretty much bring all the Kreg tools you featured in this video. The above mentioned tools allow me just about to coverall the bases. My most recent addition, although not a Kreg tool, is an EcoFlow Delta Pro solar generator, smart battery, and solar panels, and eliminated the gasoline generator. Thank for sharing your thoughts on Kreg tools, I find them almost indispensable. They may not be the end all to be all, but no single tool ever is.
That's so cool! Thanks for sharing and for watching!
I could not agree with you more about the corner clamps. I have never been able to get them adjusted correctly before they get airborne across the shop...
As a new DIYer, thank you to all the commentors! jigs are a new concept to me; just have a power drill and oscillating saw- everything else here are hand tools.
I agree with the Corner Jig score of one. As you said, it moves and it doesn't matter if you have mitred corners or butt corners, it still is a frustrating too to usel. That said, I have lots of KREG tools for different purposes and I find them all BRILLIANT but the corner clamp......-10.
I purchased the Chinese knock off for half the price and it sounds like I have the same issues as the original Kreg corner clamps.
My thoughts and my Kreg tools: I have two pocket hole jigs, the one that you have clamp R3 and although it takes time to setup it works nice and i still use but i recently bought the newer version (predecessor to 520?) that sits on bench this is so much better! Much quicker to make the holes and love this jig. I have regular and right angle clamps, regular clamps work fantastic for countless tasks where right angle works real well for pocket holes Rip cut I have the older version before they improved it and made surface that runs along board side longer so mine is smaller. This tool has sat in its storage place for over two years unused as it was useless to me. Wobble a bunch, really hard to start off and end up straight because guide surface is so small. One of these days i am going look at it and try to make a new longer guide to see if it makes it useable. Accu-cut works great is it on par with much more expensive ones I’d say no but for the price this is very helpful tool. Multi mark is a helpful tool i like the level bubble and use often but it has limited use, i could probably live without using other tools but i don’t regret buying and as i said i use often. Drawer pull jig, works great easy to setup and I felt was both bets bang for buck and smallest accurate jig available. Lastly i have contacted Kreg customer service and a few occasions and have to say my experience with them has been excellent!
Thanks for sharing your experience with their tools!
Have, love, and use the pocket hole jig. I actually have one of the first ones they made. made of aircraft aluminum and I bought it about 30 years ago. Have the rip jig and use it all of the time. You do have to concentrate but when you do, it is a great item. Have and use the auto clamps. Love them... Like the right angle clamp.. With all rip cuts or the rip jig, I use a 2" foam under the wood so I don't have to worry about the end piece falling. i get better cuts at the end too. Track saw, hell no. Not for that price. I use a board with a guide for the saw and it works just as good as the most expensive track saw. Use my shelf pin jig all of the time. Corner clamps - wouldn't spend any money on any of them.
Oh yeah the corner clamp from Kreg. I should have bought two of them....... one to put dog poop on and the other one to cover it up with. Totally on board with you on that one.
I had a terrible experience with the Accu-Cut. My Milwaukee cordless saw seemed not to fit, and the cuts were all over the place.
Great review and channel
Excellent video. Earned a subscriber. Cheers.
You clamp has a little screw that can change the pressure of the clamp grip
lol, Festool = kidney. That got me to subscribe to your channel. I am in the market for a drawer pull jig and glad I saw this video. Thanks!
I love the set up blocks, I use them all the time, even on the table saw. But after I had mine for a year or so I stumbled across the same exact thing for about a third of the price. I told my friend about them and he ordered it and they are identical. Oh well, mine are prettier lol.
So which ones are the half priced one?
Well said !!
Thank you!
The pin shelf spacer jig (or whatever it is called) I agree is amazing. Every time I use it it gives me such joy 😀
I know I’m late to this party- just wanted to mention the Kreg Euro hinge jig is really good as well, in fact I like much better than the hardware placement jig or the drawer slide jig. The other thing in my shop is the Kreg router table insert- also works just fine. I also have the mitersaw flip stop system- it’s ok for rough cuts but has way too much slop to count on for precision. Kreg stuff is not Incra or Festool or Lee Valley or even Porter-Cable. But it’s pretty good for what it is and I’ve definitely found good value in almost all of it. I also of course have several of the pocket hole Jigs - my fave is the discontinued R4 (I think) anyway the one with the locking lever toward the operator. I have a newer one which is stupid - you have to reach OVER the workpiece to lock it bc the lever is on the back.EDIT I think it’s K4 not R4. But you all knew that 😂
Thanks for sharing!
Have you ever tried the Kreg nine dollar drill guide? I’m doing a table top glue up using dowels for aligning, and I don’t want to spend a ton of money on Dowelmax or Jessem. I plan to use transfer tape and an awl to mark the corresponding dowel spots, but I need something to drill accurate 90° angles with my hand drill.
I've used the one from Milescraft. It works great. Use the dowel pin center finders and that will help as well
Interesting 👍 👍
Thanks for watching!
Try the Straight Edge Guide. Accu-Cut on steroids as you can use it not only on the circular saw, but also the jig saw, a router, and even a recip saw.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into it!
love the clip from Monk
Such a great show!
Yeah there's way better corner, 90 clamps out there..but all you said you like everyone likes.. appreciate this content cause market is so saturated with tools it's hard to know what's a gimmick and what's not...I need easy use with no fighting it or I myself will throw it out...
I make my corner pieces as necessary... No shifting shall ever be allowed
Cabinet hardware jig was $34 and it has some good features and some bad features. For that price, it should come with a clamp.
I have a really nice shop. It is not a production shop therefore the need for high end tools like track saws is not in my needs. I can always make a cheap guide for cross cutting sheet goods. I do have several Kreg tools and love every one of them.
You have to love your wife for doing a great move and job.
I agree with your opinion of the Corner Clamp. There are better / easier ways to accomplish it's supposed function. I tried using it just a few hours ago. Ended up taking it off .
Dang. I didn't realize the lineup was so vast
520 pro. Works great and GV.
I agree on the corner clamp. First one I purchased ( price prohibitive ) and it’s a waste or at least so far
Glad I'm not the only one! 😂
I'm so glad you both said this. I'm just bought it and thought I was doing something wrong!
I have two corner clamps that I have on occasion managed to use successfully, but yes, it takes a lot of adjusting and readjusting of the material to get them to clamp the material the way you want to. Haven't used them on anything that I needed to clamp super accurately, however, just on stuff I'd made for the shop.
Amen on that corner clamp. It's the biggest piece of garbage I've ever bought. For the price they charge for that clamp, I expect a heck of a lot more.
😂😂😂 100%
What table saw do you have? Thanks for a great video!
Hi, it's the Grizzly G0715p. Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
I agree corner clamp is a waste of money. Hard to adjust to wood thickness .
100%
Holy crap dude. You being on here blows my freaking mind. Small world huh
Hey buddy, long time no see! 😁
What's the difference between the rip cut and accu cut. Which do you use for cutting 4x8 panels down to the final dimensions.
The rip cut has a limit of 24". The accucut can cut anywhere any width. You can even buy an extension to take it to 96". I use both. But to just cut a 4x8 sheet down to 4' length or something you'd use the accucut.
I am building bench tool stands for my woodworking tools. I want to use 2x4’s for the stringers and a 1 1/2” butcher block for the top. Is it okay to attach the top with pocket holes? How much overhang should I have so I don’t tear through the countertop?
To attach the top I would use a figure 8 fastener. You can pick them up on Amazon. It's a pretty simple system and allows for seasonal wood movement
What is a good corner clamp that you would recommend or use now?
So I shelled out a little money and bought the CSP Clamping system from Woodpeckers. It's a couple hundred bucks though. There are cheaper options on Amazon that are similar. Just search "90 degree clamp" or "right angle clamp". Or if you don't mind the price, the Woodpeckers clamps are great.
5:44 LOL Not only is your wife helpful she's got a since of humor.
She's definitely the funny one... 😊
I have a kreg rip cut circular saw guide. it was cheap and perfect for my needs. Ideally it's supposed to be for making the same cuts consistently. But if you have to make multiple different size cuts this may not be the ideal product for you. Do read the directions because it's not very intuitive.
I haven't had any luck with any of them. I practiced and wasted so much good lumber. I just couldn't figure it out. 😞
I bought the Accucut system to convert my Milwaukee saw to a “track saw” like system. Piece of junk. Stepped up and bought Milwaukee track saw. No regrets.
Nice video, but I have to know what movie scene was that in the beginning made me laugh
The "well, well, well, how the turn tables" quote? That's from The Office. 🤣
Have you tried the Kresge 720 pocket hole jig? There’s lots of negative reviews so I’ve heard!
I haven't but I've heard some of the same things!
For me it’s the (not) accu cut. It’s kinda hokey how it attaches to the saw but sloppy fit between the track and the saw base makes it barely any better than just following a line free handed. I bought a Makita track saw and it is amazing. If anyone wants to buy an accu cut cheap I’ve got one to dispose of.
Don’t get the longer f style clamps, they’re rubbish but most Kreg gear is clever & get the job done
I love Kreg tools, but they use a bit too much plastic. I wish they would sell more expensive versions of their tools with higher quality materials. I have the newest pocket hole jig (I also had the old one but sold it) and it's just too much cheap feeling plastic. The extension wings are just thin plastic. When you lock it you feel the flex in the body of the jig because the plastic is not ridge enough. If they sold the same style pocket jig with better materials, I'd pay $250 for it no problem. I recently purchased their MFT table which comes with a bunch of accessories, and they are all made of cheap plastic. The MFT table isn't cheap either, it costs $400 for just the table. I also purchased their clamping saw horses to sit the MFT table on and they set me back $165 each. The saw horses are super nice though. Probably the highest quality thing they make. They are very heavy duty and high quality.
I just remembered another tool of theirs which I wish they made with higher quality materials, and that is their inset hinge jig. The housing that holds the bit is plastic! Make that out of metal and charge an extra $20 for it. It's so dumb that they would make the whole jig out of plastic. Granted, it works, and I've done many 35mm holes with it, but it annoys me to use it.
I really appreciate this comment and completely agree. Another quality tier would be fantastic. Because I'm with you... I'd pay more for an even better quality tool. Obviously they're trying to reach a specific customer market but a 20-30 dollar increase with better material would actually be fantastic. Good to know on the newer pocket hole jig too because I've considered upgrading... Thanks for watching!
They don't need to sell more expensive tools… their tools are already overpriced. They need metal versions at the current price points.
Yeah, the corner clamp hasn't worked well for me at all.
I do not know how you get your corner clap to do what it does in the clip you showed. I tried mine on several types and sizes of lumber and none of them kicked out like that.
It could totally be user error. It does that every time for me. Either that or maybe I just got a flawed unit?
