Kreg Pocket Jig Accessories — Screws, Bits & Plugs

Kreg Pocket Jig Accessories — Screws, Drill Bits, Plugs & More

A Kreg pocket hole jig is only as effective as the consumables and accessories that support it. Infinity Tools carries the full range of Kreg pocket jig accessories — from self-tapping screws in multiple sizes and thread types to replacement drill bits, pocket hole plugs, and plug-cutting bits for concealing finished joints.

Kreg pocket screws come in fine-thread versions for hardwood and plywood, and coarse-thread versions for softwood, MDF, and other porous materials. Matching thread type to wood species ensures the screw seats without stripping and pulls the joint tightly closed. The Kreg 675-piece self-tapping pocket screw kit provides an assortment of sizes for immediate use. Individual sizes — such as the 3/4" #6 fine pan head screw and the 1-1/4" #8 coarse Maxi-Loc head — are also available for targeted restocking.

Drill Bits and Plug Accessories for a Clean Finish

The Kreg hex shank pocket hole drill bit is a stepped bit that bores the pocket at the correct angle and depth for Kreg screws — the hex shank prevents slipping in the jig's bushing. For projects where you want a seamless finish, Kreg wood pocket hole plugs fill the exposed pocket after assembly, and the Kreg custom plug-cutting bit lets you cut matching plugs from your own project wood for an invisible repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between fine-thread and coarse-thread Kreg pocket screws?

Fine-thread Kreg screws are designed for hardwoods and plywood, where the denser grain provides adequate thread purchase with a finer pitch. Coarse-thread screws are designed for softwoods, MDF, and particleboard, where the wider thread bites into the looser fiber structure more effectively.

How do I choose the right Kreg screw length for my project?

Screw length is determined by the thickness of the workpiece being joined. Kreg's general rule is to set the jig and screw length based on the thickness of the board receiving the pocket hole. The jig's built-in guide or Kreg's screw selection chart simplifies this. The 675-piece screw kit includes multiple sizes to cover common thicknesses.

What is the Maxi-Loc head on Kreg pocket screws?

The Maxi-Loc head is a wider, washer-style head design that spreads clamping load over a larger area of the pocket face. This provides more holding power than a standard pan head, especially in softer materials like pine, MDF, and poplar.

When should I use pocket hole plugs?

Use Kreg wood pocket hole plugs when the pocket hole is visible on a finished surface — for example, on the exterior of a bookcase side or the back of a cabinet door stile. For interiors that are never seen, plugging is optional.

What is the advantage of a hex shank pocket hole drill bit?

The hex shank on the Kreg hex shank drill bit locks securely in the Kreg jig's stepped bushing, preventing bit rotation within the guide. This ensures the stepped hole is drilled at the precise angle and depth required for correct screw seating every time.

How do I make grain-matched plugs to conceal pocket holes?

The Kreg custom plug-cutting bit is a router bit that cuts round plugs from scrap pieces of your project wood. Because the plug is made from the same species and cut to match the grain direction, it blends nearly invisibly into the finished surface after gluing and sanding flush.

Can I use regular wood screws in a Kreg pocket hole?

It is not recommended. Kreg pocket holes are sized and angled specifically for the head geometry and thread pitch of Kreg's self-tapping screws. Standard screws may not seat properly in the pocket, can strip the hole, or may not generate the clamping force required to pull the joint tight.

Are Kreg pocket jig accessories compatible with all Kreg jig models?

Yes. Kreg's screws, drill bits, and accessories are designed for use across the full range of Kreg pocket hole jig systems. Pair these accessories with a Kreg pocket hole jig system for a complete setup.
