kreg jig?

[grey56]

I saw someone's DH is getting this for Christmas. I have read YHL's glowing admiration for it. I see it on Amazon, but there are tons of options. The basic one looks to be $99. There are other options for less. Are those add-ons to the basic kit? Or could they stand on their own? I want to get one for DH but $99 is steep for something he may not use too often, you know?

Does anyone have info on this kreg jig, please?

Thanks!

That was me. I bought DH the $99 one from Lowes. I think it will be enough for DH's needs since he gets by now with just an old school pocket jig. I bought it mainly for some nursery building he wants to do and also b/c his anniversary present was a router table, so he's getting into making a few things.

Here's a link to my post asking about it before I bought: pandce.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=homegarden&thread=91051&page=1

WOW thank you! Very helpful! My DH has bigger aspirations than actually DOING projects so I think the $45 that someone mentioned in your post is more my speed. Thank you for linking that!

Aww, I bought the Jr one. It was $39 with free shipping. That works for me. I hope DH likes it! Thanks again!

R asked for one this Christmas. I mentioned it to my mom and he's getting the $300 toolkit. LOL - overboard much, mom?

That said, I asked him which one specifically he wanted/needed, and he said that any kreg jig is more useful than no kreg jeg. If mom hadn't gone overboard, I'd have bought the mini for him and I think it would have been good enough for his purposes.
