I was actually at Home Depot and Lowes (they are next to each other here) trying to show my wife which biscuit cutter tool I wanted and found the Kreg Master at Lowes. I told my wife to forget the cutter- just get me a router bit for biscuits and get the Kreg system instead. My birthday was Jan 16th- so she bought me 650 screws to go with it. Cost about the same as ordering online- but I got the sizes I will use most.<br />

It sounds to me like your having committment issues(haha). Only kidding, but it does sound like you need to walk around you home and get a good idea of what you would use it for. Try this list on for size, I used it on a friend of mine...<br />
<br />
Storage Area's<br />
Garage<br />
Laundry<br />
Kitchen<br />
Bed Rooms<br />
Living/Dining Room<br />
Bathrooms<br />
Outside Yards<br />
<br />
If you find you have more then three projects for any one location on your list then mark that as a "prime location", now if when your done your walk around you find…

If you find you have more then three projects for any one location on your list then mark that as a "prime location", now if when your done your walk around you find you have created more then three "prime locations".....well then you have a lot of work ahead of you and should seriously consider the K-3 set. It gives you all that you will need to start. Think about going into it with a friend and offset some of the costs.<br />
If service and supply is important to you, then go with your local outlet(Lowes) but if cost is an issue then either wait and save up the differance or go on-line. I bought my K-3 on E-bay for $110 with free shipping but that seems to have been an exception to the rule as the norm seems to be close too or same cost as the retailers. Cost is a relative issue, "It won't matter how much you save if you don't make the purchase". So step up to the plate, get yourself the K-4 or K-3 and have a Happy Birthday pcfy2.<br />

heard of this product. I drove to where I could put my hands on it, even though I knew it inside out from downloading the owner's manual. I have put this system to a very challenging, highly sceptical series of important projects, me a guy that only believed in mortise/tenon, dowels, and dovetails. I bought an extra step bit, in case they were short-lived in their<br />
edge-holding (wrong, big time), watched all the videos, bought a mulitude of screws and plugs.<br />
<br />
I buy the best, I do without until scrimping and scraping will let me do so. This system is just downright first rate.<br />
<br />
After several thousand driven screws into spruce, cedar, oak, fir and rock maple, not one misfire. Perfectly sharp bit<br />
still, mind you, I followed the book advice and bought a drill capable of their recommended two thousand rpm.<br />

Buy it and Menards this week. Regular price is $99.00 but this week it is 15% off if you put it in a green Menards bag. The bag is under a buck. It's a great deal.

We also have an area Woodcraft store, and I just recently found out that they have a reasonably impressive inventory of Kreg items. I had been thinking about buying a face clamp and a 90 degree clamp for a while, so the last time I had to visit to get something we needed for a project at work, I also whipped out my own VISA and treated myself! I used them both within days for a home cabinet project.

I bought mine at the nearest Woodcraft store (no I have no affiliation). I like to support them whenever possible because they are a good resource and carry things the big box stores don't. Support the local economy when possible.

I bought mine at Lowe's because I wanted to use it right away, but if you have the patience and want to use the plans they provide, buy it through the infomercial. You get no plans if you buy it at a store, although you can download about a half dozen of the plans from the website. But if you wanted to buy ALL of the plans they give you when you buy using the toll-free, it would cost significantly more than paying the shipping charges.
