Mini Kreg Jig

Small jig for wood joinery

I’ve been using the Mini Kreg Jig for about 10 years as I work on two 95-year-old buildings. The Kreg lets me cleanly attach wood to wood at 90 degrees without any hardware other than the screws, which are nicely recessed and mostly invisible. Shelving and trim pieces are much tidier with the Kreg.

Clamping needs to be big and no-nonsense to keep the jig stationary, but the jig and the bit take up hardly any room in my tool case given the amount of use I get from them.

The Kreg seems very well-made; the tolerances are good and it shows no sign of wearing out. I’m still on my first one.

I’m a big fan and I give Kregs as gifts to other woodworkers because it’s a great shortcut to really tidy woodwork.
