Kreg makes good jigs, make sure you get the correct one for your needs
Wish Kreg's jigs weren't so expensive, but they do make a good product. Simple to use, and for 50 bucks, it's an easy way to really step up your weekend carpentry game. Wish they'd sell a cheaper option, that didn't include all the extras, like the bags of different size screws, the hole fillers, the carrying case, the Kreg clamp plate.....maybe those are nice for some people, but I really just needed the jig and bit.
One tip- if you're buying this for any project that is made out of 2x4's, this 2 barrel jig isn't what you want. The barrels are too close together for 2x4's. Kreg makes a 3 barrel jig, I believe it's their 100 dollar kit, and you'd use the outside barrels on 2x4's. With this 2 barrel jig, you have to move the jig to drill the 2nd hole on 2x4's. So, in hindsight, I would've bought either the single barrel jig, or the 3 barrel. I'm sure this one has it's uses with other dimensions of lumber, but I work with 2x4's a lot.
