The quality of the tool is a bit on the consumer side, but considering the price, I think that it is acceptable. The ruler adjustments on the bottom slide confidently into place. The metal bushing (ring in the blue plastic) really helps keep things in place and I didn't find it to be wearing out or poorly constructed after several hundred holes drilled. The price of the screws that match the tool need to be bought deliberately as the type of wood and thickness really make a difference. I haven't tried to use regular screws to save a few dollars yet, but probably won't for projects that I will use or keep for a while like dresser or tables or benches. The screws never pierce the finished surface when all your measurements are done correctly, and never seem to have trouble locking into the wood, even for soft wood like the cheap pine sold at do it yourself stores.
A great tool for beginner or average joe who is looking to make some projects and save some time. With more skill you could use a router to make dovetail joints for stronger and a more professional piece. For someone without any significant training and only a little bit of experience, this tool has saved me lots of time and allowed me to do family projects I wouldn't have attempted otherwise. I don't find the price of the screws to be out of line when you look at how much features are built into the screws, self tapping, washer head with a confident square drive head make for no stress assembly. I looked at the Kreg jigs that were more expensive but decided this was a good cost for benefit factor. I didn't find any other jigs that did more for this price, for people of this skill level. When my table was assembled, I stood on it and the project didn't even creak, squeak or wobble. Measure, Drill, Glue, clamp and screw to perfection. :)
One of the best things about this jig is its cost-effectiveness. It is an affordable option for anyone who wants to start building furniture or other woodworking projects using pocket holes. The jig is also very easy to use, even for beginners, and comes with clear instructions that make setup and use a breeze.
However, one downside is that the square bit can deform if driven with too much power. This can be a problem if you're using a drill that doesn't have adjustable torque settings. However, with a little bit of practice, it's easy to get a feel for the right amount of pressure to apply.
Nevertheless, I've found that the drill bit that comes with the jig stays very sharp over time, which is a huge plus. It's also easy to find replacement bits online or at most hardware stores, so you don't have to worry about running out of bits when you need them most.
Overall, I highly recommend the Kreg R3 to anyone who wants to start using pocket hole joinery in their woodworking projects. Its cost-effectiveness, ease of use, and ability to create strong and professional-looking joints make it an excellent investment for any DIY enthusiast or professional woodworker.

Taking it out of the box it's the typical Kreg stuff - very simple instructions with an idiot proof model. It goes together in about 15 seconds and about 30 seconds later, you're making pocket holes. You'll initially think the holes are oddly spaced, but as soon as you drive the screws in, game on. Nice, tight joints in about a minute.
So for the downsides and cautions: First, you'll get a little blue plastic shaving when you use it the first few times. It's just a manufacturing tolerance thing from the injection mold. The holes are new, so some plastic gets in them. It stops after a dozen or so holes. Second, do NOT use this with standard screws - they'll explode the holes and ruin your piece. The Kreg screws are thin and have flat heads to join versus tension. Third, and this is a lesson hard learned, clutch down on your drill. The Kreg screws are insanely sharp and they work VERY well - if you' don't use your clutch, you'll run the screws right through the work piece, even though you're not really supposed to be able to. I ran them right through several 2x4's and a 1x6 with no resistance at all. They're VERY good screws.
I've built a garden box, a lumber rack, some firepit benches, and even my own miter saw bench. I then built a tabletop for my sawhorses and a couple jigs - all with a Kreg jig, a Kreg RipCut on my circ saw, and a regular old 10" chop saw. My entire workshop can literally fit in the trunk of my car.
I'm glad I got the 250 pack of screws - once you start, you just want to build and build some more!

aunque no tengo la pinza se puede utilizar y mantener sujeto a la madera a perforar
Viene con sus guías que facilitan mucho el entender como trabaja
Es de plástico pero de buen material, se ve que va resistir
Este modelo ya me esta convenciendo de comprar un modelo más avanzado,
Este modelo es bueno para probar si la herramienta le va a nuestro trabajo
Lo único malo es que los tornillos de la marca son caros pero en ML venden una caja de 800 piezas de 1.5 pulgadas que es el que sirve para unir madera de una pulgada, por 380 pesos y es muy buen precio
Al final eso me convenció de comprar este medelo para probar
Los tornillos que compre en ML se ven en la última foto, y sirven tanto para el atornillador de kreg cuadrado o una Phillips número 2 así que es muy versatil
