The jig is only suitable for gaps of 5mm or greater between decking boards. If the gap is smaller the drill bit cuts into the adjacent board leaving a mark.In addition, only the Kreg screws fit into the jig meaning you have to buy their own screws that use a square shaped bit rather than a standard hex bit.I do not recommend buying this product if you want a 3mm gap between your decking boards and don't want to use the Kreg scews.

If you are a homeowner and want a deck essentially free of fasteners, this is a valuable tool. I have several Kreg jigs and the step-drill bits used for the pocket holes can be notoriously prone to breaking, but that was not my experience with this jig. It's time-consuming and you must be willing to put the work in to it, but the result is a surface free of screws, which means no exposed metal and no nail pops. For me, this was a deck rebuild, and I decided to go with pressure-treated wood rather than composite, as the latter required more structural support and was prone to warping, discoloration, and being hot under foot. Following the instructions, re-decking my 8X12 deck was kind of tedious yet free of surprises. In my photos, please overlook the puttied knotholes and you'll see a fastener-free surface.One caveat: the first (and maybe last) board(s) won't be this way. You can't get a good angle to install a pocket-hole screw for these, so I used counter-sunk deck screws and wood putty on top, to preserve a fastener-free look.TIPS:• An angle drill or angle attachment for a drill is super-helpful for installing those first boards or any that can't be accessed with the pocket-hole screws.• For the first several boards, I found it easier to mark first, then drill on sawhorses, replacing to install. Once I got a few feet from the house, I just drilled and screwed boards in place.• You may be able to 'correct' and straighten boards that are warped, if you use the spacer guides near your first screws, and then space while pushing in against the board as you go.•Using two drills saves much time if you are drilling and screwing as you go.NOTE: I see this is marked as a "frequently returned item." It's most useful for a handy homeowner. Commercial deck builders will either have more substantial tools, or use more efficient (but less aesthetically pleasing) methods such as pneumatic nailing. If you have the patience and can follow instructions, this is a very useful tool.In the photos, I've just finished the deck. I haven't stained it yet and don't know about the longer-term reliability of the Kreg screws, but I will update this as I see how it does over time.

A great product for attaching deck boards, especially if you want the screws hidden from view. It is especially for minor deck repairs!

La utilidad es inmediatamente comprobable. Con dos taladros fue más eficiente
