Kreg Owners' Community

I live in Japan, and I can't find any Kreg screws here. I'm not a big fan of having a huge boxful of metal shipped overseas, so it would be ideal to find a supplier here in Japan.

I can find pan-head screws, but they are really expensive here. (50mm pan-head screws are about $.50 each, for instance.) They also don't seem to make anything but countersinking screws that are longer than 50mm, and you need 64mm screws for 1.5" wood.

Any ideas or advice would be appreciated. TIA.

Hello Doug; Sounds like you have a real delema. What about bevel head screws? Are they more reasonably priced? I have used bevel head deck screws on outside projects with a washer that is smallenough to fit the pocket hole. What about sourcing the Kerg Pocket screws for Europe?

Thanks for your reply! Using deck screws with washers works pretty well, but the sizes here are slightly different. You just have to do a few test joints to get the drilling depth right.

Doug,  I realize this reply is old and you may already have your reply, but the off corporation is one of the main sellers of all Kreg products including router supplies, T-track and of course pocket hole products.  Just go to www.offcorp.co.jp or search on google and you will find it.  I live in Japan, too, and I have been using their website to purchase supplies for years.  There is also another company, KQLFT.com also carries tons of stuff from many companies known across the woodworker spectrum that would interest you, especially Kreg.  They also carry Kreg products

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction.  I have considerable experience with conventional…
