Kreg Tools for Pocket Hole Joinery, Cabinet Making & Shop Organization

Kreg Tool has built its reputation on one central idea: woodworkers of any skill level should be able to create strong, professional-quality joints quickly and cleanly. The Kreg pocket hole system — a stepped drill bit, angled jig, and self-tapping screws — remains the foundation of the product line, but Kreg has expanded far beyond joinery into measuring, clamping, cabinet installation, and shop organization tools that work together as a complete system.

For portable work, the Kreg 520PRO pocket hole jig clamps onto stock from 1/2" to 1-1/2" thick with preset stops for common thicknesses. The Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig XL is built for 2x4 and 4x4 lumber on outdoor furniture and other big builds. Entry-level users can start with the Kreg Mini Pocket Hole Kit and expand as projects grow in scale.

Stock up with the 675-piece pocket screw kit, which covers the most common lengths, and hide the holes with wood pocket-hole plugs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Kreg pocket hole jig and how does it work?

A Kreg pocket hole jig is a drilling guide that positions a stepped drill bit at a precise angle into the edge or face of a workpiece, creating an angled hole (pocket) that accepts a self-tapping screw. When the screw is driven into the mating piece, it pulls the joint tightly closed. The Kreg 720Pro is a popular current model with auto-set thickness adjustment.

Which Kreg pocket hole jig should I buy as a beginner?

The Kreg Mini Pocket Hole Kit is a practical starting point — it is affordable, compact, and includes everything needed for basic pocket hole joinery. As your projects grow, upgrading to the Kreg Pocket Hole Jig XL provides a bench-mounted platform for higher-volume work.

Can Kreg jigs be used for cabinet-making?

Yes. Kreg's full tool line is well suited to cabinet-making. Pocket hole jigs join face frames and carcasses, the concealed hinge jig bores precise 35mm hinge mortises, the drawer slide jig speeds slide installation, and the cabinet hardware jig ensures consistent knob and pull placement.

What is the Kreg 90 Corner Clamp used for?

The Kreg 90 Corner Clamp with Automaxx holds two workpieces at a precise 90-degree angle during pocket hole assembly, preventing parts from shifting as the screw is driven. It is essential for box and carcass construction.

Does Kreg make a tool for consistent shelf pin holes?

Yes. Kreg produces a shelf pin jig that guides a 1/4" drill bit at precise, evenly spaced intervals for shelf pin holes in cabinet sides. This eliminates the need for a commercial shelf pin template or manual measurement.

What is the Kreg MortiseMate used for?

The Kreg MortiseMate is a router jig for cutting clean, precise mortises for loose-wedge or traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery. It represents Kreg's expansion beyond pocket hole work into more traditional woodworking joinery methods.

How do Kreg's Automaxx clamps work?

Automaxx clamps automatically adjust their jaw opening to just above workpiece thickness when squeezed, then clamp down firmly. This eliminates the manual adjustment step required with traditional clamps, speeding up assembly when working with parts of similar thickness. See the Kreg clamp collection.

Does Infinity Tools carry Kreg band saw accessories?

Yes. The Kreg Precision Band Saw Fence adds accurate rip capacity to most band saw models, extending the machine's usefulness for resawing and parallel cuts.

Does Infinity Tools offer price matching on Kreg products?

Yes. Infinity Tools offers price matching on qualifying products. Full terms are available on the price-matching page.

Where can I find tutorials on using Kreg jigs and pocket hole joinery?

The Infinity Tools learning center covers pocket hole joinery setup, jig selection, screw sizing, and project tips for woodworkers at all skill levels.
