Reviews
Tool is easy to use
"Tool is easy to use and effective. It also solves the difficulty with trying to install pocket screws into long and narrow pieces. However it is challenging to figure out how to initially assemble, insert the drill bit and figure out how to actually use it. Once those challenges have been resolved, it is a wonderful addition to my tool sets."

Best I have used so far
"I started with the K4 years ago, then upgraded to the 720 a couple of years ago. But this by far is my favorite jig to date. Instead of having to set up and balance pieces on the tool, you can put this on the wood right where you want to make the hole. The amount of time this saves is amazing. Also, when using dust collection, it makes for a clean and easy time making the holes. The only downside I had to this purchase, it the charger included does not have mounting holes on the underside to wall mount the charger. I have all my other chargers (other brands) wall mounted on a charging station, so it would be nice if they would upgrade the basic charger to allow for wall mounting, that was my only complaint about this package."
