I was one of the folks that posted the negative reviews on this new version of the Krieg pocket hole jig. It had WAY too many issues (especially the pricier 720PRO). It felt like it was rushed to market on a decent idea but wasn't tested in real world scenarios. I went back to my sturdier, and older version of the Krieg pocket hole jig.
Hmmmm might do hd, 16 to not deal with woot....
Interesting. The usage issues surrounding these new models of Kreg jigs coupled with the fact that this is a deal through Woot are enough reason for me to go ahead and pass

Based on the experiences with the few orders I've placed with Woot over the years, I hate their services and ignore most every deal that comes up on here for them on principle... But damnit, I do love me some Kreg jigs. This is a tough one

I'd like to know if these are the ones everyone returned or if it was a bad batch. I've seen some review of the clamping mechanism not being a good 90 deg.

Has me on the fence.. also maybe there's a chance there might be a sale during the holidays on these jigs. If not, I don't mind just getting it full price with no issues and peace of mind I can return it freely if there is.

Almost thought that was a Glock storage lock or something.

Whats the point of this? The Massca is aluminum with a hookup for dust collection.

Yup smells like they are trying to blow through questionable inventory to maybe get to a better batch

I don't see much benefit of this over the K4. The K4 is sturdy, has more adjustments, a more reliable locking mechanism... The Massca looks reasonable as well, though I don't see a way to easily clamp it to your work bench.

Darn that stinks!? I have only ordered maybe 5 times but everything went flawlessly luckily 😅 comparing with its parent company Amazon shipping/item being ready to ship was "regular to slow". I have only ever purchased their daily lightning type deals though so maybe that had an affect or less issues 🤔
