This was my first time drilling pocket holes and this jig made it extremely beginner-friendly. I ended up drilling 52 pocket holes on the first day on my two floating nightstands. For $20 (+ the cost of pocket hole screws), I’d consider it a great investment for my workshop now that I know how easy it is to use.

I hope this video helps you on your next project!
Thanks for watching!
