The Most Advanced Kreg Jig® Yet.
The Kreg Jig® K5 incorporates the best features of every Kreg Jig® that came before with upgrades you’ve never seen. That starts with an all-new clamping mechanism that you can adjust without tools or adjusting nuts to match your workpiece thickness. Just slide the clamp into place, “click” the large front-mounted clamp handle, and your jig is set to hold your workpiece tight every time. Plus, you’ll find large support wings to hold your workpiece steady—and they have storage compartments inside. Add in a batch of other great features like a standard swiveling dust-collection port, spring-loaded stop for the Drill Guide Block, and, of course, the ability to remove the Guide Block for portable use, and you have, quite simply, the most advanced Kreg Jig® yet.
Fast, Simple, Setup
When you’re ready to create Kreg Joints, the K5 makes it simple. Just select your screw based on thickness of your wood, set the Stop Collar using the Drill Bit Setup Block, pull the spring loaded pin to adjust the Drill Guide Block, and then set the workpiece clamp—Just slide the clamp block, pull the handle up until it clicks twice, and then push it back down. Just that easy, you’re ready to go.
Easy Thickness Adjustment
The Kreg Jig® K5 offers our simplest workpiece clamping system ever. The ratcheting clamp simply slides into place against your workpiece. Then, you lift the handle until you hear and feel two “clicks,” and that’s it. Now your clamp is set until you change to a different thickness. Fast. Sure. Simple.
Support Plus Onboard Storage
Two large support wings can be attached quickly and easily to the sides of the base. This way, long workpieces get solid footing and won’t tip. Plus, there’s a large storage compartment under the lid in each wing where you can keep your Kreg Bits, screws, and accessories close at hand but out of the way.
Swiveling Dust Collection Port
The Kreg Jig® K5 comes with a detachable dust port that swivels from side to side so that you can position it exactly where you want it, and then attach it to a standard 1-1/4″ vacuum hose. This keeps your work area free of chips and debris, makes drilling easier, and prolongs drill bit life by reducing heat.

I noticed the images display imperial measurements. Can you confirm that the actual jig has metric measurements?
Siphesihle Hato –
Good day Nivendran,
Yes, this unit is definitely in metric measurements.
Samd5047 –
Good day, does this unit also include a portable jig?
Siphesihle Hato –
Hi there, unfortunately this unit does not include the portable base found in the K4 Master System.
Samd5047 –
Which unit is better for both workshop and outdoor projects, K4 OR K5?
Siphesihle Hato –
Good day,
Both the K4 and K5 jigs are equally suitable for workshop as well as outdoor projects. The differences between the two items are the accessories included in the kits as well as the clamping mechanisms. The K5 uses a front-facing clamp whereas the K4 uses a back-facing clamp.

Good Day,
thank for your feedback but it does not help with my future choice.
Siphesihle Hato –
Good afternoon Sam, to help you make the right choice, kindly have a look at the following table which Kreg has published: http://www.kregtool.com/webres/Files/newsletters/kregplus/Images/august16/Kreg-Jig-Comparison.pdf
This table draws a comparison which outlines the differences between the Kreg pocket-hole jigs that are available.

Hi Sam, here is my opinion on these 2 units.
The K5 has replaced the K4. There are some differences between the K4 and K5 jig, but overall they perform the same function and both work very well. Both jigs handles stock thickness 12mm – 38mm.
Some Differences:
The K4MS is supplied with a 3” Reach Face Clamp & Portable Drill Guide Base (KPDGB), whereas the K5 is not supplied with these accessories. This gives the K4MS Master System more value for money. These accessories can however be purchased separately, see links below.

In my opinion, I would go for the K4MS Mater System as it is supplied with the portable base which basically offers a mobile Kreg Jig unit that would assist you in those outdoor projects.

Hi Tanya & Siphesihle, I trust that you are well. I’ve made my choice on the K5 system but purchase the portable drill guide base. I almost went an purchased the HD set for the portable benefit but would duplicate what I’m about to purchase. Thank you for the guidance as this saved me from spending unnecessarily. Let me know if I should be aware of anything else. Thanks you were great

Good Day, I write this over due response to say thanks to the team, especially Siphesihle for his great service and invaluable advice. I finally settled on the Kreg 4 system but what was amazing was that my package was delivered within 24 hours of my purchase. I never used my new purchase as yet but will provide feedback once I get started.
