I asked what everyone is using for Pocket Hole Jigs in another

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.


General Tools also makes a generic pocket hole jig.
The only concern I would have on non-Kreg jigs is how easy is it to
adjust for thickness of material? The adjustment on Kregs is fast and
simple.

So does it have a couple of common thickness in mind? Say maybe 1/2", 3/4",
and 1 1/2"? The HF model does that, but I don't think it's infinitely
variable.
