Of course I have a video on the use of this tool except that I use the cheap model from Harbor Freight.

I'm going to buy this next week when I'm in the USA.. I don't think I have seen it in Canada. Is it at most big box stores? I just bought one today at the home depot in Halifax. So you can get them in Canada.

I just saw the Kreg Pocket Hole Jig on sale at HD for $89.... You can't beat that. Order it online if you want. I don't see the sale going on there but I saw it at my HD. Might be a Fathers Day thing.

The $40 kit with the clamp is a must have they also have a new clamp that automatically adjusts to the proper Widths I'm getting one of those - great time saver

OH Lordy! This would have saved me two days of trying to figure out how to frame my Shasta 20! I will buy tomorrow and I will watch Larry's video on it. This is going to save me and my loved ones a lot of complaints about my attitude [/URL]

Great for twisty nails and any nails in tight places you can't get a hammer to swing at. Works great on bouncy wood like the middle of your trailer ceiling and walls.

This thread deserves a bump. I came across a reference to a Kreg Jig in a restoration blog and wondered what it was. After getting help to find the search page, I found this thread. Very valuable for anyone going to remove the skin and redo some framing.
Gee, almost makes me want to find a trashed trailer to rebuild….(well, I am not there yet)

I can't stand rebuilding trailers but using the tools are a lot of fun...

Okay, Just to clarify. Everyone is drooling over (Link >>) this little bad boy, right? I have a $25 Amazon gift card give to me from a former student that has been in search of something to buy. I think I found my ticket. If you scroll down a little on the linked page, it shows two other items that other people buy with it. the total price is @$83. Are these the accessories that some of you mentioned that should be purchased with it? I did a quick search on Craigslist and only found the K5 for about $80 from one seller. If I am spending $80, then i think I would rather get the accessory "bundle". cheers Rod

That is the one I use. Bought it at Lowes also bought a package of one hundred screws for 3/4 inch boards, ran out of screws instantly and now buy three hundred at a time. They supposedly sell packs of 500 cheaper but I have never found them.
