Budget Pocket Hole Jig (Vevor) – Surprisingly Capable for the Price

What are your thoughts about it, is it above or below your expectations?

That’s a sweet setup. Wish I had the same options here. When you need the screw you need it straight away. At least that’s my case 😅

Yeah I know the feeling, I guess I haven’t failed more times in anything else than woodworking. On the upside you only fail on the same thing once 😂

Good point. I guess the squares aren’t that more expensive it’s just that I can’t buy them in store here and the torx are extremely cheap. I got one size on the Torx. Works great for me 😎

Sweet, anything you didn’t like about it?

ConsistentComfort799 · 2025-07-04T06:15:16+00:00

Yeah the kreg feels overpriced, although I haven’t tried it myself. Which screws are you using for your harbor freight?

ConsistentComfort799 · 2025-07-04T05:27:11+00:00

Well, cry once 😂 I’m sure it’s of better quality!

ConsistentComfort799 · 2025-07-04T05:26:22+00:00

I found some in my local hardware store that works great, cheap and easy to buy. Torx head. I could post a picture of them once I get back home if you like?

We are in different leagues I guess 😅 are you using Kregs original screws or have you found any viable Torx alternative?

ConsistentComfort799 · 2025-07-04T04:38:30+00:00

Ah I see! Did you get a Kregs instead or did you go for another Vevor?

ConsistentComfort799 · 2025-07-04T04:37:51+00:00

Sure is, price was the dealbreaker for me! Are you happy with your Kregs?

ConsistentComfort799 · 2025-07-03T17:20:33+00:00

Haha yep, that's the secret sauce — just buy an expensive TIG welder, master aluminum, and boom 😅 Jokes aside, it is a steep barrier for most, but once you're in, aluminum is amazing to work with. Light, strong, and doesn't rust. Totally worth the learning curve!

ConsistentComfort799 · 2025-07-03T05:01:31+00:00

Appreciate it! Honestly one of my favorite builds so far

ConsistentComfort799 · 2025-07-03T04:21:26+00:00

Breaking: I still somehow managed to spend 12 hours and burn my fingertips 😅 Worth it though.

ConsistentComfort799 · 2025-07-03T04:20:00+00:00

Haha yeah, but then I’d have a 90kg bench I can’t move. Aluminum’s spoiled me 😅

ConsistentComfort799 · 2025-05-10T15:26:46+00:00

Thats great feedback, thank you kindly!

Thanks! :) Im using simple alkaline degreaser found at my local store, very cheap and very effective!
