    Anybody use the Kreg jig? I’m thinking about buying one. I have a shelf I am building and the from the videos I’ve watched, the Kreg would be a great option. There are several models and I’m not sure which one I would buy.

    I have a kit and a have used it for lots of projects around the house. I bought a large box of the screws with it so I don't have to worry about running out of them for years.

    My daughter wants me to build her a shelf like this one. I figured the Kreg would be handy for the joinery on the light colored wood.

    I have gone through several large boxes of the screws, building shelves, cabinets and other miscellaneous projects. My jig has two holes and I use regular vice grip pliers instead of the Kreg set. Works great and makes strong joints.

    I use my Kregs Jig for everything woodworking. Creates stronger joints with gluing and have used it on almost all of my project. Well worth the investment.

    I use mine all the time. There are a couple different starter kits. I got the cheapest and wish I had picked up the better one. I kept adding onto it and spent more than I would have originally.
