Any link for the Kreg or Porter-Cable? And they are more professional, flexible, and heavy-duty?

I didn't either for the longest time. In fact, I had the original K4, sold it, bought the updated one and then saw the Porter-Cable and eventually bought one. There are some con's with the...

I never knew this existed! I just glanced at it on Amazon and it looks incredible. It’s about the same price as a Kreg K5, too.

FYI, if you're thinking of going with Kreg or Porter-Cable, Kreg is good for weekend woodworking or when you don't have a mix of 1/2, 3/4" as well as 2x4's. That's where Kreg's system becomes a...

I’ve bought this thing before. It’s junk, better off going with a real Kreg.

If your corner shelf needs to hold a lot of weight and you can't get support brackets near the connection, then you need to look at joints with more surface area to glue, such as a spline joint or...

I aluminum sounds good and all compared to plastic, but how much does the clamping mechanism flex? Does it hold well? Does it hold flat against the workpiece?

Thanks again. The weight could be heavy so a biscuit joiner is out. Good to know for the future though.

Haven't used kreg. Can't complain about the HF one. It even disassembles so you can clamp it to tiny parts or cramped spaces.

Even the dowel solution was stronger, which says a lot, its just a matter of it being a very weak solution regardless, there is no way around it, its the nature of the solution, you wouldn't screw in...

I agree with the others that the Kreg R3 looks a lot better given it can be adjusted for wood thickness. I have a Kreg K5 that I rarely use but an R3 would be great for repairs.

I've never used this one so can't comment but I have both Kreg K4 and Porter-Cable QuikJig. Both with pro's and con's.
Either way don't forget, glue is MUCH stronger when combined with pocket...
