<p>I have the K5 and very happy with it. I built a box and mounted it on top of the box with a drawer underneath to store the Kreg clamps etc. Very handy, when I need to do pocket hole joinery I just get out the box set it on the bench and get started! </p>

<p>I personally prefer the clamp on the front side, as in a K3 & K5.</p>
<p>The K4 has the clamping lever on the back side---difficult to ready access when working with larger panels.</p>
<p>I prefer the adjustable clamping pressure that can be achieved on the K3 and K4.</p>
<p>Dust vac port is a big plus when drilling lots of holes.</p>

<p>I have several Kreg pocket hole drilling jigs.</p>
<p>The K3 Master, had the K4 (prefer the K3 with the handle at the front),</p>
<p>the R3, the mini, the micro, HD jig and the Foreman.</p>
<p>Each have specific uses and useful for their intended purpose---</p>
<p>either building and/or repairing products.</p>
<p>As well as a variety of several associated clamps.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The Kreg pocket hole drilling jigs are the best since the invention of slicing bread.</p>

<p>If I was just starting, I would get the K5. As mentioned, it's more "flexible" than the earlier jigs. I'm still using my K2000 jig. No vacuum port but it still works very well and I will continue to use until it falls apart.</p>

<p>I didn't realize there was a K3 MS. I've never seen one. </p>
<p>I like the K5MS because the vacuum port swivels and the front operating lever. The storage is a bonus. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, I have the K4 MS - Fixed port and lever is behind the work piece. Difficult when working with large work pieces.</p>
