<p>So we ordered the tool and it was delivered four days later. My husband put it together on Thursday and we used it this morning. We have cut so many pocket holes I can't count. We have about 120 boards cut and ready for our patio chairs and this is what I have been doing. Four pocket holes per board with two on each end and will go back to put a single hole on the long section in all of the boards. Some boards(7) only had two holes on one end, these are the feet to the chairs which…</p>
<p>So we ordered the tool and it was delivered four days later. My husband put it together on Thursday and we used it this morning. We have cut so many pocket holes I can't count. We have about 120 boards cut and ready for our patio chairs and this is what I have been doing. Four pocket holes per board with two on each end and will go back to put a single hole on the long section in all of the boards. Some boards(7) only had two holes on one end, these are the feet to the chairs which attach to the front apron. Two of the board lengths don't need holes because we will be attaching the drilled boards to them. It started sprinkling so we had to close up shop and cover the boards up. We moved the tools inside and will wait for the weather to clear, hopefully this weekend.</p>

<p>I am a bit sore on my right arm and my back, but that is par for the course with my numerous injuries and arthritis. If I had been doing this with the drill I would have stopped on the third board because the pain would have been too great. We have worked on the boards for about 1.5 hours and am at least 2/3 through the drilling. Whew, I love this thing.</p>

<p>The Kreg company should be proud they have made a product that someone with lots of injury can enjoy using and know that the job will be done right. I can also build a craft with my husband without feeling bad because I couldn't help much before.</p>

<p>So thank you Kreg for giving me the chance to enjoy woodworking again.</p>
