Perhaps you want to try pocket hole joinery for the first time? Or, maybe you want to add to your existing collection of pocket hole jigs. Either way, be assured that Kreg is the leader in this technology!
Great product ideas sometimes emerge when two different disciplines such as woodworking and metalworking collide. In 1986 Craig Sommerfeld was in the process of building his house and needed to find a way to attach his doweled face frames to his kitchen cabinet carcase members. A tool and die maker by trade, but a woodworker out of necessity, Craig had a problem. Not wanting to nail them on and then fill with putty, he designed and built "Craig’s Jig" which was a single-hole pocket hole jig crafted from steel and aluminum that allowed him to attach the face frames from the inside of the cabinet where the joint could be hidden from view. Encouraged by friends and co-workers, Craig built a few more jigs and set out to show them to the public at a woodworking show. What Craig found at these woodworking shows was an audience who had no knowledge of the joining method he was promoting, however they were very interested in learning about a new way to build woodworking projects. So… week after week, month after month, year after year, Craig would build his product during the week and promote them at the weekend woodworking shows. Hundreds of trade shows and thousands of demonstrations later Kreg Tool Company has emerged as the leader in Pocket Hole Technology. From the manual K3 Kreg Jig® to the fully-automatic Pro Series machines, Kreg offers a simple solution that has changed the way thousands of woodworkers join wood.
In 2003, Kreg diversified its product offerings by adding a category of products named Precision Measuring Systems. These products consist of a Precision Miter Gauge, Precision Band Saw Fence, and Precision Trak and Stop Kit that enable a tablesaw, band saw, and miter saw to cut more accurately and consistently than ever before.
Why is pocket hole joinery so popular? Mainly because of its speed, strength and simplicity. Speed comes from the fact that the self-tapping screw eliminates the need to pre-drill the mating workpiece, which avoids many alignment problems caused by having to layout and drill for aligning fasteners as with dowel, biscuit, and mortise and tenon joints. Secondly, the self-tapping screw also serves as an internal clamp, which eliminates clamping the joint as the glue dries. This saves the investment in various clamping devices, the time and frustration of clamping, as well as the problems associated with pulling the assembly out of square with clamping pressure.
The strength of a pocket hole joint can be explained with two simple statements. First, a mechanical screw has physical properties that make it stronger than a biscuit, dowel, or tenon. Secondly, the amount of constant clamping force placed on the joint line by driving the screw combined with today’s glue technology makes for an incredibly strong wood-to-wood bond.
With products ranging from $13 up to $7,499 USD Kreg offers a full-line of pocket hole tools to fit every budget and production schedule. Three manual tools; the Mini Kreg Jig®, RocketTM Jig, and K3 Kreg Jig® offer inexpensive solutions for individuals looking to get started with pocket hole joinery, while the semi-automatic Foreman machine and the fully-automatic Pro Series machines offer larger shops the speed and durability needed to produce production pocket holes. Our newest line of Precision Measuring products are premium accessory upgrades to make the woodworking machines in your shop more accurate and easy to use.
Kreg products are available through distribution outlets across the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, and more. You can also see Kreg products in action at various woodworking trade shows throughout the year. We ask that you give our products a try, we are confident you will be impressed with their quality, durability, attention to detail, and service after the sale.

The ultimate package for pocket hole joinery from “The Pocket Hole Professionalsâ€. The K3 Kreg Jig is packed with loads of innovative new features. The first of these new features is a three drill guide block that can now be used in two separate tool bodies. Slide the block into the benchtop base and drill pocket holes on your workbench, or remove the drill guide block and quickly place it into the smaller, portable base for use on the job site. The face of the drill guide block now features a metal insert that will produce years of clean-cut pocket holes. In addition, the benchtop base features patent pending front side clamping that places the clamp handle on the same side as you drill - No more reaching around the workpiece to clamp! Are you tired of having to clean up wood chips after a day of drilling pocket holes? The benchtop base also accepts a snap-on dust collection shroud that can be easily connected to a shop-vac for chip free drilling! We’ve also built-in more height adjustment into the drill guide block, allowing you to center a screw in materials from 1/2†to 1-1/2†thick in 1/8†increments. Another new addition to the K3 model is the Material Support Stop. This innovative feature allows you to place pocket holes in exactly the same location on multiple workpieces for true production style pocket hole drilling. The stop is hinged so it can be easily moved out of the way when drilling panels. Quite simply, the Kreg Jig K3 Master System is the most feature packed pocket hole tool on the market, from the legendary leader in pocket hole technology. Patent Pending.
