Pocket Hole Jig Kit With Dual Column Jig, Clamp, Bit & Screws

I brought this to help make a computer table. I saw it demonstrated at Screwfix live, so knew what it could do already. It is very easy to use, and boy, does it make basic woodwork construction easy! We made the table frame in minutes! Build quality is very good too, all metal construction. I looked at other (cheaper) products out there, and opted to pay the extra for this. The built in clamp is worth it alone, as this is quite possibly what makes it such a quick item to use. We used loose on the work bench, but it does have screw holes to fix it down. I guess if you were using it for light manufacturing (ie. the same action time and time again) then this would be of great use too. Once you have set the clamp for the depth of wood you are using (I was using 19mm spruce and 18mm MDF) it takes seconds to clamp the wood in place then drill the holes. If you use two drills (one with the drill bit and one with the special driver) then the process takes less than a minute. The screws for it are expensive, but they work perfectly. As I use it more, I will experiment with standard bulk buy wood screw. The 'blurb' says it is for using to clamp joints whilst wood glue sets. All the joints I made I glued as well, then used the included screws to hold in place. You could use it with out the glue (which they were doing at the live show), but overall may not be as strong. Other all, absolutely love this product and wish I had brought one years ago!

Great product for diy used it several times Easy to use great hold make sure you use correct screws for hard and soft woods

A great sale came promptly a brilliant piece of kit. Makes the job easier.

The quality of the jig itself is very good. I have done around 400 holes into softwood. All holes are accurate and the jig has little to no signs of wear. It’s fairly small and very easy to set up and adjust. I’ve not used the clamp very much therefore cannot comment on that but it seems good enough although not that ‘heavy duty’. The square drill bits for the pocket screws are the part that lets this kit down. While being an ideal length to drive in screws without the driver getting in the way, they rounded far too quickly which I am very disappointed at. Unfortunately, the return window has closed and I cannot contact the seller but I will buy another brands bits and continue to use the jig. Aside from the poor quality drill bits, I’d say overall it’s an effective tool that is value for money - if you get it on offer.

Very good does what it says on the box

Very happy with the quality of the jig and the price too. Helped me put some frames together with pocket screws and something I'll use again and again.

Glad I bought this makes doing pocket screws a doddle, used this to make a Router Table Cabinet and it was a breeze, went together fast, came with everything I needed to do the job, highly recommend thanks seller and Amazon. I purchased another drill bit and more screws for this, so will have plenty for next job. This feels strong so hope it lasts.

Works OK but limited in timber size. Note - If you want to use it with 45mm x 45mm CLS type timber the second set of fixing holes for the clamp need to be used so 45mm just fits - and even so the clamp doesn't hold unless you hold it. That aside it works well, just be aware it is only specified up to 37mm in the smaller dimension, although also can be used with your own clamp and theirs removed.

Ho apprezzato in particolar modo la robustezza di questo strumento realizzato interamente in metallo. Anche la dotazione degli accessori inclusi è piuttosto rica di tutto l'occorrente. La grande mancanza di questo dispositivo è il fatto che non offre la possibilità di praticare i fori in base allo spessore del materiale impiegato. In effetti la piastra è fissa e non è possibile alzare o abbassare in base alle esigenze. È possibile soltanto avvicinare o allontanare la distanza tra i due fori. Infatti, nella descrizione è specificato tutto ciò ed è colpa mia se sono stato poco attento a questo importante particolare... Ho deciso quindi di renderlo e orientarmi sul modello di punta decisamente più "completo" ma anche molto più costoso... In conclusione mi sento di consigliarvi l'acquisto soltanto se vi serve per unire parti in legno di spessore da 16 mm a 19 mm, altrimenti no. Buon lavoro!!

Habe mich sehr über die Trend Pocket Hole Jig gefreut. Das Werkzeug ist sehr gut und wertig Verarbeitet – Wie nicht anders von Trend zu erwarten. Ich habe mich u.a. für die Bohrvorrichtung von Trend entschieden, da diese komplett aus Metall ist. Der Marktführer „K***“ verwendet hier einen hochwertigen Kunststoff. Wichtig zu wissen: Mit dieser Trend Bohrvorrichtung lassen sich zwar Verbindungen von Brettstärken zwischen 16 mm und 38 mm herstellen, aber optimal ist die Vorrichtung für die Verwendung von 19 mm Brettern (+/-) geeignet – nur dann befindet sich der Auslass der Bohrung in der Brettmitte. Hier gibt es ein anderes Model von Trend (Trend PH AK Pocket Hole Jig) – Hier kann u.a. die Brettstärke (wie auch bei dem Model von K***) individuell voreingestellt werden. Somit ist der Auslass der Bohrung immer mittig im Brett – Das ist nicht ohne Sinn. Da ich nur selten Brettstärken jenseits von 20 mm verwende, spielt diese Funktion für mich jedoch keine Rolle und hätte den Aufpreis zum erweiterten Model nicht gerechtfertigt. Bislang habe ich meine selbstgebauten Möbelstücke (Regale, kleine Tische und einfache kleine Schränke) mit Hilfe einer Flachdübelfräse hergestellt und fest verleimt. Das hat jedoch den Nachteil, dass ich die Möbelstücke nur „montiert“ transportiert werden können bzw. eine Demontage nicht mehr möglich ist. Meine Idee war, Möbelstücke so zu konstruieren, dass ich die einzelnen Bretter weiterhin mit Flachdübel zusammenfüge aber diese nicht mehr verleime sondern mit Pocket Holes verschraube. Die ganze Sache hat bei einem ersten Projekt sehr gut funktioniert. Durch die zusätzliche Verwendung der Flachdübel ist auch sichergestellt, dass sich die Bauteile beim verschrauben nicht verschieben und somit eine einwandfreie saubere und bündige Verbindung entsteht. Fazit: Top Produkt, einfache Handhabung und klare Kaufempfehlung

No vale para todos los grosores

Trend gefällt mir generell, da die um vertretbare Preise gute Qualität liefern. Den pocket hole jig habe ich schon öfter im einsatz gehabt. Hat man ihn einmal kommen die Anwendungen dafür plötzlich von überall. Sehr praktischer und gut verarbeiteter werkstatthelfer. Kinderleicht zu bedienen

Ausführung und Handling super! Ich habe die Vorrichtung direkt beim Bau meiner Korpusse in der Werkstatt getestet und war begeistert, welche Zeitersparnis diese Vorrichtung mit sich bringt. Das Einspannen sowie die Verstellung des Abstandes der Bohrlöcher gehen einfach von der Hand. Die mitgelieferten Schrauben und das dazugehörige Bit sind ein schönes Extra. Klare Kaufempfehlung. Preis-Leistung passt
