Kreg R3 Pocket Hole Jig Display at Home Depot Holiday 2015

Over at Home Depot, where there are a whole lot of great Black Friday and holiday deals, we spotted a Kreg pocket hole jig deal that’s worth a closer look.

If you buy the Kreg R3 jig, which we bought ourselves a while back, you get a free clamp.

If you’re thinking of getting into pocket hole joinery, this is the kit to get. It’s not as fully featured as Kreg’s larger sets, but it’s functional enough to handle most of your needs with relative ease. And even if you upgrade to a larger set later on, the R3 jig will still come in handy.

While not a spectacular deal, Kreg jigs don’t go on sale very often, and a free clamp is a free clamp. It doesn’t look like you get Kreg’s premium face frame clamp ($20 via Amazon), but it probably has the same large clamping pads.

For what it’s worth, I don’t use a Kreg clamp with my R3 kit, I use a regular Irwin Vise Grip locking C-clamp with swivel pads, which can be found for $9-14 at Amazon and elsewhere.

The Kreg R3 pocket hole jig set comes with the jig, a special drill bit (replacements are available, but the bits last pretty long), a long Robertson #2 screwdriver bit, a stop collar, a hex wrench for adjusting the stop collar, and a carrying case.

The set also comes with a couple of starter screws and hole plugs.

You’ll probably want to buy some pocket hole screws, pronto, whether you buy this for yourself or give it as a gift. You can buy an assortment, or just a box in one or two sizes that correspond to the thickness and type of wood you plan on working with.

If you buy this set from Home Depot online, you should probably set it up for in-store pickup. If you order it online for home delivery, there’s a chance you’ll get the set without the free clamp, and you won’t know until you receive it.
