My thoughts on pocket hole jigs. There are those who bought Kreg the first time, and those who wished they had. DAMHIK! I'm still using an A-2 (the aluminum one) from 21 years ago. Bought it as we were leaving American Woodworker Show in Philly. Plane ride to Philly was only 54 minutes flying time, but ride home seemed a lot longer having just plopped down a little over a hundred on a "useless jig." To get "started" in pocket hole joinery, buy the single hole jig (about $20), which comes with both jig, bit, and stop collar, and then buy a set of HF swivel pad vise grips. You will be good to go. Klingspor, HD, and Lowes all sell the single hole jig.
