 "Very Good Starter Pocket Hole Jig Kit" 2010-04-07
By Martin Guerra (Newfoundland PA)
Having never used a pocket hole jig before, I chose the General Tool 849 because it was made of a sturdy metal (instead of plastic) and because it was a complete set, including drill bit, hex wrench and screws.
Thus far I have used it once, but I have plans for other projects. It worked very well in my first project. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. No complaints or regrets. I'm very satisfied with this tool.

This jig wears very quickly. I drilled 128 pocket holes with this jig. As I assembled my project I noticed that the pocket hole screw heads were beginning to protrude and then the wood pieces I was screwing together were beginning to crack. Why? Because the inside of the jig wears so quickly that the pocket holes become shallower and shallower until they are no good at all. It cost me over $200 in materials and a lot of rework. Lesson to self: It NEVER pays to buy cheap tools. Don't buy this one unless you plan to drill less than 50 or so pocket holes.


 "Disappointing" 2009-07-19
By Mary E. Parker (Dallas)
Bought this jig to save money. The first pocket hole was great. The next dozen or so were awful. And yes, with every drill (despite following the directions about taking it slow and withdrawing periodically)lots of metal shavings fell out. Ultimately, the jig was useless.

This is an OK product if you don't plan on using it a whole lot. I found it difficult to set up & less than accurate for "production" work. Just fine for occasional use by weekend craftsmen. Practice on scrap before using on your project.


 "Not for me." 2008-12-10
By Anthony V. Mirabella
I really wanted to like this pocket hole jig. While I thought the Kreg jigs were really cool, I assumed this bare bones jig would be just fine for my purposes. Unfortunately, less than 24 hours after purchasing this, I was on my way back to the store to return it. The drill bit failed on the first use. I "pumped" the drill bit in & out to clear the debris like the instructions suggested, but half way into the second hole, "Snap!", and she was done. Kreg's similarly priced unit, the R3, is well worth the extra $10. If trying to decide between this and the Kreg R3, its a no-brainer.
