ARMOR TOOL Auto-Jig Pocket Hole Jig System - Starter Pack - Woodworking Joinery Tool with Self-Adjusting Design & 50 Assorted Screws - APJ-1400

I've been using this jig for the past 2 years and I've been 100% satisified with the tool. Easy to setup and easy to use. I recently broke the end off of the drill bit and I'd like to get it replaced. I've looked for Armor's support but have been unable to find anything and it appears they've been taken over by Bora Tools as of May 2024. Anyone have any advice?

I am very happy with this product. Great design and engineering. I had a traditional blue pocket hole jig for years but did not use it because it was tedious. I saw this on YouTube, did some research, and then purchased it. It exceeds my expectations. It is fast, easy to use, and well designed.In addition to that, I discovered they have terrific customer service. On the first day, I called customer support. Received a call back from one of their engineers the same afternoon. He solved my dilemma. Have had no problems or issues since.

The media could not be loaded. The auto-jig really does save time over the smaller, hand pocket hole jigs. Not having to fumble with clamps with this thing greatly improves efficiency when you're having to make multiple pocket holes. It appears to be of good quality, but I haven't had it long enough to see how durable it is over time, but it doesn't appear like I'll have any issues with it.I like how the block itself can be adjusted to put holes at different widths apart or positions in reference to the clamped board. The way this system also automatically sets the position of the collar on the drill bit is great! Between that and the index on the side of the block telling you what size screw you need, it greatly reduces the chance of making an error when making pocket hole joinery.The only area I see that could be improved is a wider portion where the edge of the board rests. This would help ensure you're making the holes perfectly perpendicular to the edge of the board, particularly when you're at a corner of a wider board. However, this can be worked around when mounting it to a bench top by mounting boards along the side of the jig for the piece your working on to rest.Overall, I have no complaints with the auto-jig and look forward to using it more going forward. The efficiency gains in my shop are going to be great!

The media could not be loaded. The Jig is great and drilled clean pocket holes, used it to fo about 40 pocket holes on some 2x4s for a lumber cart. Setting the depth on the pocket hole bit and clamping boards is good. The Jig itself is made out of a reinforced plastic and feels nice and sturdy.The bit it came with to drive the pocket hole screws rounded off on the 8th screw and was basically unusable after that. Luckily I had another similar bit that I finished my project with. But they need to source a better manufacturer foe the driver bit.

I am a new comer to woodworking. Overall I was able to finish my queen size bed frame. I did all of the pocket holes with this jig. The features I enjoy is the no guessing on where to put the collar on the drill bit for correct size. Once you place the wood in the clamp and tighten the clamp, the drill bit is already attached to the base therefore wherever you clamp down just tighten the setscrew on the drill bit and it is measured to size. No guessing at all. On the side of the drill holes, they provide the size of the screw in color. Once again, when you clamp down the lever, just look at the side and you'll see that color screw is going to go when you assemble your project together for that specific pocket hole. Because it's a portable size i am assuming this is why it doesn't not accommodate larger size wood other than 2 inch. I was able to make pocket holes on 2x4 and 2x6 and 2x8. See the pattern.Now my biggest complain for me, and I may be doing something wrong....is that the bottom of the base is not covered. When I made plenty of holes, the wood chipping would get into the gears and it would be difficult to open and close the clamp lever. Maybe I need a solid base to place this on to prevent this from happening. To fix this, all I did was turn upside down, spray a little bit of compress air and bam, I was back into the game. Also the bit for the screw is located under the jig so you need to ensure to remove it before clamping it to a table. Maybe that is why there's no bottom cover, I am not sure. Other that than, like i've mentioned, I was able to complete my queen size bed frame and my visitor told mw the frame was solid.

I love the automatically adjusting feature. Makes it quite easy to set everything up just right. The only thing I'm less than thrilled about is the amount of retraction that the clamp does when you release the clamp; it's still quite tight and it makes removing the piece a bit tough. I suspect this will loosen up after a bit of use.Additionally, if you're okay with waiting for a longer delivery, ordering straight from their site seems to include one of their auto-adjusting face clamps. I would have loved to get one of the clamps in this deal but I needed the next day shipping more.

Package arrived in perfect condition with all parts and accessories in tact. The jig is well thought out and I appreciate the ease of use; I especially like the color coded system. Jig itself appears to be well built and heavy, it feels substantial. Hoping to get alot of use out of this tool!
