GOINGMAKE All Metal Pocket Hole Jig Kit,Pocket Hole Screw Jig System

If you're looking for the best affordable pocket hole jig, buy this one.I previously owned 3 of the blue jigs, you know. the ones that rhyme with Keg. While they performed well, they always felt very overpriced for some injection molded plastic.This GOINGMAKE pocket hole jig is no joke. You are GOING-TO-MAKE with it!Some have complained that the bits are a little brittle and I could see that. Most Titanium Nitride( you know the cheap gold) bits I have used are sharp but brittle and do well for a bit but then break. I will say it survived my first failure where I didn't set the height of the gauge at first and plunged the bit into the aluminum base of the jig... Now I have a dimple in the jig to remind me. SET THE JIG...It worked beautifully in MDF, and in Hardwoods like my piece of cherry with very minimal tear out. I tested the worst of the worst cases, across grain, with the drill in the slow mode. On the left was fast, and right was slow, in this case, drill in the fast mode will produce better results as its a higher number of cuts pocket hole.Not to mention the jig is beautiful, the all metal construction, the ability to take it off of the hold down, and use it with standard clamps makes it incredibly versatile and easy to use, and the vacuum attachment is icing on the cake!If you buy this, be prepared to buy a good quality spare pocket hole bit if down time from a broken bit is a no go for you. Buy this over the blue brand.If I had one tip to the manufacturer, it's to place a detent(is that the correct word) or protrusion along pocket hole jig itself so when it rides in the slot it stays aligned better. Currently there an be some slop, although when you clamp down, that slop goes away.

I like GOINGMAKE's line of equipment. The black & white design is clean, and easy to read. I have purchased a few things from this company and this pockethole jig is one of my favorites to build with. This thing is a beast as far as build quality and easy to use since it comes apart with just 2 screws. It combines the ability to make a variety of different adjustments for wood thickness, yes, but the base also contains a spot to adjust the depth collar on the 2 drill bits that come with the tool.I really do love the ability to disassemble the jig and clamp part of it to the end of a longer board such as a 2x2 or a 2x4 that is too long for standing up in the jig on the workbench. I was looking at possibly having to buy 2 separate tools. This just made things that much easier and didn't cost me any more money.The vacuum port is a nice feature. I can connect it to my shopvac for dust collection. The opening is 1 1/2 inches O.D. and whether you work in metric or imperial, GOINGMAKE has included both sets of measurements on every piece so there's no need for conversion math.Im really happy with the quality of what I got for $50. There are a couple more Goingmake tools I will likely just get myself for Christmas this year.

I work in carpentry, and the one I had before broke; I found this one, and it has turned out to be very high quality and a great price, it is strong and very durable.

The jig itself is good. Feels well made and solid. Dust collection is a nice touch. The drill bits included with the jig are worthless. Both drill bits broke on the very first use on soft pine. If you buy some quality pocket hole bits, the jig works well.

This is the best Going Make tool they have. Way better than the Kreg equivalent at this price point. My only gripe is that the 1.5" setting flat out doesn't work. The holding clamp doesn't retract far enough to hold a 1.5" thick board, which would be frustrating if I did that a lot. It works great for everything 5/8 - 5/4

Great!!

Works as expected. Ive gone though many pocket jigs the big brand is plastic and this is pretty robust in comparison. No complaints Drills good and straight holes.

Solid tool

Broke both bits' tips in my first 4 holes. Might be a user error (was putting pocket holes in 16mm MDF), not sure.

I had a basic pocket hole jig before, but purchased this as an upgrade largely because of the dust port. That said, there are several other good features, in particular the scales built into the base, etc. that help with setup for differing thicknesses of stock. I built a base to hold it and accessories, including a small spacer the right thickness to support the edge of whatever you are preparing to drill flat on the bed of the jig. This makes it easy to clamp the jig on it's base to the workbench and when needed. The quality of the jig is good, however, one of the drill bits broke soon after I began using it (hence the 4 stars).
