Pocket hole jig

[jonathan-m]

I ordered the UJK last month based on user comments on axminster, still wasn't delivered though.
It is to replace my Trend jig because that one is limited to 16mm thick, what i also like about UJK is that they have a range of TX20 screws, so no more Robinson for me!
They can be used on Kreg though, even if it's a tight fit.

If i had known about the Kreg K5 when i ordered i would have given it a second thought.

Hi Timtool,
I'm in the market for a pocket hole jig as well and was wondering if you regret getting the UJK over a Kreg?
At the moment I'm leaning towards the UJK because of the imperial markings and the fact that apparantly one needs to create a dust extraction adapter to fit a Festool hose on the Kreg.
What's your advice?

Jonathan-m - you don't have to make an adapter.  The Fein step vac adapter works great with the Kreg jig to connect it to a Festool CT and it is very inexpensive.
