1 out of 5 stars Rip off   December 19, 2008

My wife gave me this as a gift. She meant well, so I appreciate it.

But this DVD is worthless. Waste of money. Con job. I like Kreg tools, but they need to get out of the DVD business. I don't see why they want to screw over their customers like this. I feel like my wife just paid $10 for me to see some low budget infomerical. Wait a minute, the infomerical would actually have more information.

Even a total newbie would be better off getting his information elsewhere.

I agree with the other reviewer: SHAME ON YOU KREG. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME. You saw the chance to make a quick buck and didn't care if you screwed us over. If I ever meet the CEO of Kreg, this DVD is going to be shoved up a very dark place on his person.




3 out of 5 stars Good training tool for those that learn visually   November 23, 2008
Edgardo Rivera (Barceloneta, Puerto Rico)
The DVD is short and it doesn't focus specifically on the tool. Having said that, it's a good learning tool for those that prefer to learn visually, instead of reading through the manual. It would have been better if they had covered their frequently asked questions (FAQ's) from their website. It's OK for the price, but something like this should have been provided for free on their website.


1 out of 5 stars Pocket Hole DVD of Limited Value   November 16, 2008

I purchased the Kreg Master System and thought the DVD would be a good addition since I hadn't done pocket holes before. Much to my disapointment the DVD turned out to be more of a sales pitch than a tutorial on Kreg's system. In my opinion the DVD should have been included in the Master System. I wouldn't recommend this Video.


2 out of 5 stars If you've seen a Kreg demo, don't waste your time   September 17, 2008
New England Yankee (Northern New England)

Let me say at the outset that I love the Kreg jigs. I own one of the master sets and use it all time. In fact, it's one of the most-used tools in my shop. It's a testament to Kreg's jigs that the company has become virtually synonymous with pocket hole tools, although a variety of companies produce them.

That said, this DVD is nothing more than a brief demo. It may be worthwhile if you've never seen a pocket hole jig used, but you'll get just as much out of a 10 minute in-person demo at your local Woodcraft or woodworking show.

By the way, referencing comments in a few other reviews - my copy of this DVD WAS free when I purchased my jig.



5 out of 5 stars Good demo of the Kreg jig's capabilities   April 25, 2008

I don't own a Kreg jig (yet) and wanted to see what it could do. This was a very good demo of its capabilities, using a cabinet as the project being built. The DVD quaility is good, and the process is clear. After viewing the DVD, I am seriously considering purchasing a Kreg jig. I've always told sales people that if they just demonstrate their product's capabilities then it will sell itself. Don't give me words, SHOW ME! This DVD did just that.

I suppose if you already had a Kreg jig and were expecting lots of new info, you might be disappointed. It doesn't show cabinet design, layout, wood selection, etc, but that has already been covered by others. I'm mainly intrested in what the jig can do, not watch someone run a board through a planer. I found it a great sales tool for those of us that don't own a Kreg jig and are on the fence about making a purchase.

Speaking of sales tools, it would be pretty effective for Kreg to have these videos for FREE on their website, as a means of educating folks about what their jig can do. (I'm in the market for a dovetail jig, and the Leigh site has a KILLER selection of on-line videos that demo their jigs.) If Kreg did the same thing I think they would see a decrease in $10 DVD sales and an increase in $139 jig sales.
