Pocket hole screw jigs

[Jokerman]

Has anyone got any experience of using these jigs.
A|friend is making up loads of frames and racks and is thinking of buying one.
Screwfix do a cheap version and Axminster do a range including both Kreg and their own brand. Much more expensive - but there must be a difference
What do you use and what would you recommend?
For me I'd stick to biscuits.
Regards to all.

I have the Kreg pocket rocket-piece of cake to use and works well. Useful with or sometimes instead of biscuits.

Hi I have just bought a pocket rocket and I'm really impressed, as Philly says its easy to use.
I was tempted by the others in Axminsters book but the kreg is sooo simple.

I have the Kreg 2000 set - really recommended. I would go for the newer one which has dust extraction options etc. Well worth the money.

Hi Mike

I'd vote for the Kreg as well.

I'll go with the rest, the Kreg is a real sturdy piece of kit, wouldn't be without it, and talk about a time saver.

picked up the Trend half price a while back - works pretty good (my 11 year old daughter uses it!) but I think it costs more than the Kregg.

Hi Mike
Looks like these get the thumbs up. But before you go out spending your money, can I suggest you get the next copy of GW, in which, I believe, several will be tested. And if you are the make-it-rather-than-buy-it sort, I have a design for a router jig which does the same job, but keeps the screw perpendicular to the joint, thus reducing misalignment.

GW - bringing you what you want, when you want it.

Hmm, I think I'll try and sell that line to Nick

Do people recommend the Kreg Mini Jig or only the Pro one?
