I suspected it would be that video! FWIW, Steve walks back his opinion a bit in a video a week later:

One slight correction is all three sizes of biscuits (#0, #10, #20) are the same thickness, but overall great informative response! The Length and width are what get larger (not thicker or thinner). Since they are all the same thickness the same blade on the biscuit joiner can be used, just set to a difference depth into the board that it cuts to use different biscuit sizes. It is always best to use the largest biscuit that will fit your work.

Good video. Once I pick this up I'll have both. For $45 I can see using both for different situations.
Use both together - biscuits to align the joint, pocket screws to keep it together while the glue dries.

I'll be joining 1.5" butcher block countertops together really soon. I have a pocket hole jig but was wondering what the best way would be to make sure the alignment is as close perfect as possible. Would you use both methods in this case?

Ultimately, a good dose of Titebond III (on properly jointed edges) will be stronger than screws. Personally, as I have the necessary clamps, I'd prefer biscuits, glue, and clamps. As you suggested, you run the risk of shifting the alignment of your joints with screws.

It'd be a good option - especially if it wood be difficult in your scenario to use cauls, clamps, or whatever to keep the surface perfectly aligned while screwing. That slight angle of pocket holes can be quite damnable at times.

Another option to look into wood be dowels. They actually add some strength to the joint. Or if money is no object, the Festool Domino.

I have this and while it takes some time to get used to the one screw for tightening and adjusting the height of the cut location is a pain in the ass. Get it centered and then tighten it and it moves. It is nice to get things aligned on one side but make sure you mark and do the same side of the board. Once you get used to it, its great of large glue ups of large surfaces. Such as tables, I haven't had great luck on using it on corners and such but each person might have better luck than I did as I'm far from adept at using this thing.

Bottom Line: Great deal on this tool save your money now as the price of lumber is crazy high and you will need it to buy actual lumber.

Lol yes 1k+ makes me not even having to research the Festool Domino!

Thanks everyone and thank you OP for posting the deal. I'm going to order one. Can't have the wife complaining about a tiny misalignment.

In the video the guy shows this, but basically he clamps known straight pieces of wood to the top and bottom (you would be clamping the alignment boards onto the butcher block) , in a few places so that it is perfectly aligned

Yes, Steven walked back on his earlier opinion "a bit", so this changes his opinion of the biscuit joiner from "totally useless" to "a bit useful". LMAO

Does a pocket hole jig give more strength than a biscuit in case of edge to edge (building a countertop with multiple 6" wide boards)? In the video referenced it was more just mentioned that it wasn't worth the cost since other tools/methods could do the same thing. and that edge to edge the glue was strong enough and the biscuit doesn't add any significant strength.
Biscuits are primarily for fast, easy alignment in large glue-ups. Stage all the pieces together, draw a pencil line across the two pieces you're joining, and put the joiner mark right on the pencil mark. Additionally, biscuits are invisible whereas pocket holes are ugly - if you have exposure on both sides (or are very picky), the biscuit would be superior.

I say this as someone who's almost worn out their Porter Cable pocket hole jig, and does not own a biscuit joiner..

IMHO, for kitchen remodelling, it might be worthwhile to spend the money on a festool domino machine. You get really good result, and a festool domino machine for future projects.
