New Kreg Jig® K5
Kreg Tool Company introduces the Kreg Jig® K5, the most advanced Kreg Jig® yet. It’s packed with innovative features that make it easier than ever to build it yourself and build it better with Kreg Joinery™.
Kreg Tool Company, a leading manufacturer of tools and accessories for woodworkers and do-it-yourselfers, is proud to announce the launch of the Kreg Jig® K5, the latest generation of our popular Kreg Pocket Hole Jig. The all-new K5 incorporates the best features of every Kreg Jig® that came before with it with a batch of new upgrades that you’ve never seen before.
Those features start with an all-new clamping mechanism that has a front-mounted handle and adjusts to different workpiece thicknesses without tools or adjusting nuts. Adjusting for different thicknesses is accomplished, instead, by simply sliding the clamping mechanism into position, lifting the front-mounted handle, and then pushing it back down. This quickly and easily sets the spring-loaded clamp to hold tight without working loose over time. Resetting for a different thickness only requires repeating the same simple steps. Rubber padding on the clamp face prevents workpiece marring.
Adjusting the K5 is simplified further thanks to a quick-release Drill Guide Block, as well as a new setting block for the drill bit stop collar. In addition to the included standard 3-hole Drill Guide Block, the Kreg Jig® K5 is also fully compatible with the Kreg Micro Pocket™ Drill Guide and Kreg Jig® HD.
The K5 supports long or wide workpieces easily thanks to a pair of removable extension wings that double as storage compartments for drill and driver bits, Kreg screws and plugs, and other K5 accessories. Add in an adjustable workpiece stop, a swiveling dust-collection port, and hex-shank drill and driver bits, and it’s easy to see that the Kreg Jig® K5 truly is the most advanced Kreg Jig® yet.
Kreg Jig® K5 buyers also get access to SkillBuilder™ videos that teach them how to get the most out of the jig, and they receive exclusive free downloadable project plans so they can start building with the K5 right away.
The new Kreg Jig® K5 will be available starting September 1, 2013 at a retail price of $139.99.
