Hi mate, good video. The clamp is to clamp the PH jig to the workpiece, that’s why it’s the shape it is. 👍🏻

This looks like it is far higher quality & better value than the products that Kreg do. Thanks for the video, i really enjoyed it. Trend stuff is normally top notch.

I have the same one - great tool imo. I used a penny to help set the drill depth after a bit of testing I found it to be the sweet spot.

We build camper vans and this pocket hole jig is used ALL THE TIME!

Good demo of the PHJ. The reason it is only £50 - oddly enough, that's what I paid around 4 years ago - is that it has been replaced with a newer model with, among other things, the ability to adjust for different thicknesses of material. Of course, you can use it on 25 or larger stock, but the screw will not exit in the centre of the material, making the joint significantly weaker.
As you say, the clamp is the weak component of the package, and the limitation of only being able to use it on 18mm material. That said, It is very well made, and an absolute bargain at £50.

Thank you for the review and demo. I am looking into one of these as I have been using the smaller version, that could be tedious and does not got the options, hence upgrading. I am no professional but like to do bit of DIY now and then to keep myself busy. Being disabled, any jig comes very handy. I love those Robertson screws you were using in the video. Nevertheless, thank you once again for the video.
I also got a young channel, which needs a lot of work and my time. Have a look at the contents by all means, as I believe *Our World is a Shared Experience* ... Remember, *_Life_* is *_Short_* so *_Live Long_* and *_Prosper_* 🖖... Look after yourself and each other & Stay Safe brother-man...

Thanks for the review. I bought this a few months ago for shelving in mine shed but haven’t used it yet

[williamd]

The adjuster on the drill bit can be adjusted to how far you want to drill

Just ordered this on Amazon. £55. Sweet

[dtwistrewind]

Had this about two weeks made about twenty pocket holes and the Allen key bolt that tensions the pocket hole blocks striped the thread, should have been a thumb screw for something that is used often, I had to retap to get it working again, the unit itself is good but corners have been cut.

Thanks for your review 👍
I'm just about to start hobby woodworking, so this will no doubt sound like a daft question. Are you choosing which screw length to use just by estimation?
Which length of screw tends to be most commonly used?
Thanks very much.

Hi good video, however, the clamp is for holding down the jig base, not for clamping the work piece.
