This extra-large jig makes it easy to build big and build strong using 2x4 or 4x4 boards, paired with the impressive holding power of XL Pocket-Hole Screws. The Pocket-Hole Jig XL features hardened-steel drill guides that position the stepped XL drill bit at the perfect angle for extra-large pocket holes. The two drill guides position a pair of pocket holes at ideal spacing on the width of a 2x4 or 4x4. The GripMaxx material on the underside of the jig helps it stay put while you drill. The jig includes a clamp pad adapter to secure your jig easily with Kreg clamps, as well as many other brands.
