Kreg K4 Pocket Hole System

Kreg’s latest pocket hole jig is designed to bring woodworking to the masses. Not only does it make new DIY projects easier to assemble, the drill guide spacer block makes it a snap to repair furniture, like that rickety chair you’ve been meaning to do something about.

At Rockler Woodworking and Hardware, you can pick up the new Kreg K4 pocket hole system discounted about $40 less than the previous K3 model. That’s a deal, Lucille.

Set-up is easy with this tool since the measurements are embossed on the sturdy nylon body.

Pocket hole joinery has the advantage of swift assembly without glue or clamps. For extra strength, you can still use traditional techniques like dovetail joints.

The Kreg system comes with everything you need to get started except for a drill to drive the screws. The included 6” Square Driver Bit ensures that you won’t have the stripping problem associated with Phillips head screws.

If you’re new to woodworking, there’s no reason to be intimidated. Kreg has included a DVD that goes through set-up, basic joints, and a number of tutorials. As the guy on the screen mentions, you can go to their web site to download more project plans.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to the wood shop. I’m finally going to tackle that chair my wife has been complaining about…
