Rockler Pock-It Hole Clamp

Is this supposed to be hand held? That threaded rod looks like a depth adjustment. Unless this thing can be clamped down, I would be reluctant to use it. – lol

I am pretty sure that this is used to hold the pieces together after the pocket holes are already drilled. The piece in the picture has 3 holes, the clamp is fitted into one of these holes and has an arbor that fits into the hole, and the screw clamp is used to pull the pieces together.

I think it’s a clamp to screw pocket holes together.

I saw this on their site. Looks like a handy tool. I can’t afford it right now, but I would like to get one, it looks very helpful.

If you go to Rockler’s site you can see a video demonstration of this clamp. Since Rockler is currently offering free shipping I’ll probably order one. They look handy and they address a problem I have had in the past.

On a tangent….
I made a DIY version in less than an hour and posted it, here…

mikedrums DIY version looks just as good (same concept)..

Is it good technology if the solution requires yet more technology because the original solution created a new problem?

I’m sticking with simple wood joints and glue.

Steve, I’m curious how you get your glue joints to dry without the use of “yet more technology” like clamps. :-)

Love the drainboard, by the way.
