I asked what everyone is using for Pocket Hole Jigs in another thread, but
having noodled about some since then, it seems worthwhile starting a
specific thread on the matter.

What I use now is some cheap junk jig that I bought years ago, and leaves
more to be desired than it does to offer in functionality and useability. I
was looking at the Kreg K3 kit, and came across videos and opinions on the
Harbor Freight jig. That jig is viewable on their web site. Of course - it
is cheaper than the Kreg, will accommodate both 1x stock and 2x stock, looks
to be well built, etc. It has now become a contender.

So - what is everyone else using?

Is anyone using or familiar with the Harbor Freight offering?

Other comments?

OT comments are normal in a community, so I won't make a big deal out of
them if they pop up in this thread.

I bought the Kreg k3 some years ago, not too expensive, simple, efficient,
versatile and possibly one of my most used tools.

I don't know anything about anybody elses jig, I would spring for another
Kreg in a heartbeat if I needed a new one. (price has went up a lot
though)

The only part of the k3 kit I haven't used is the stop assembly gizmo,
I usually just register off the edge of the jig or mark the location on
long
material.
