Product Description |

The 1 piece design eliminates clogging and provides a much smoother and faster drilling stroke than the drill bits with replaceable center drills. The KJD bit for our manual pocket hole jigs is made of high speed steel that increases the bit's life. |

High speed steel, high polish, very sharp |
These are tailor-made for drilling pocket holes - not just because of the stepped design, but because of their high-polish, sharpness, and temper. Drilling a lot of pocket holes in a row generates a lot of heat, and these bits hold up to the heat and keep their edge.
If you are replacing a lost bit, be aware that this bit does not include the depth collar, which may be found here: Kreg H9474 Depth Collar w/ Allen® Wrench
Kreg also makes a square shank version, for quick-change bit holders: Kreg Hex Shank Pocket-Hole Drill Bit and a quick change set including the quick-change driving bit: Kreg Quick-Change Pocket-Hole Kit.
Finally, Kreg also makes cobalt steel bits that can be used either in their pocket hole machines or in a hand-held drill. These are exceptionally hard and will hold up to extreme use and high heat. They are expensive, though, and if you are going to use one in a hand-held drill, make sure you buy the right-hand twist version: Kreg DKDB 3/8-Inch Step Twist Drill Bit for Pocket Hole Machines. |

This Step Drill Bit Gets The Job Done |
|
These step bits work very well in the pocket hole jig. However, the small diameter tip can break off if one is not careful, so I keep a spare bit on hand. |

great spare |
I have one of the 'generic' pocket hole jigs you can get at most big box home improvement stores. when my original bit broke, I was in the middle of a project on a rare day off, so I had to buy a whole other jig set ($30) in order to keep going. So I decided a spare would be a good idea. This is the best price on a spare bit I could find. The Kreg bit seems to be a little sharper than the generic one that came with my jig, so the generic bit is now my backup.
It's a good idea to keep one extra around. They are good bits, but the tip is definitely the weak point of the entire system. hopefully the kreg bit is a little better made. |

Kreg pocket hole bit |

Tried other manufacturers but recommend using only this Kreg step drill bit. The metal seems to be harder and the pilot hole a better length than other step drill bits. |

Top Tools |
|
Outstanding tool and superior quality. (I needed spare bits - they occasionally dull and on rare occasion, when pushed too hard in very hard wood, the tip may break) I laid my hands on a Kreg Jig about 7 years ago and had to have one. Now it is one of the most used tools in my shop. I build furniture and Cabinets, and have found the quality of my product has increased and the speed of production has trippled. What a Tool, I cannot say enough good about it. Buy one and use it! You will not be sorry. |
