Great machine for production work. I have stopped using biscuits on my miters and switched to pocket screws, joints hold tite even with changes in humidity. Item would have received 5 stars but I had to add spacer block on arm that activates switch in back of unit.

I purchased the Kreg DB110 Foreman from amazon.com in September of 2006. It has worked flawlessly until this Saturday when a part on the arm broke.

This morning I called Kreg Tools and they are sending me a new arm for no cost.

This is a great tool which is supported by a company that actually backs its products. I am impressed. What could be better?

I bought this a few years ago and have enjoyed increased productivity with it. However, the bushing around the motor mount shredded and it was unusable. I emailed Kreg and asked how I could purchase a replacement part. They replied that the part was a problem that had been improved in subsequent models. They took my address and shipped me an entire new motor and guide plate free of charge. That is the kind of customer service I wish all companies had. The tool is fantastic and now I know the company is too.

I have waited for a year or so to bite the bullet and buy this pocket hole machine. I use a lot of pocket holes in many of my carpentry projects. The manual one is fine but the semi-automatic Foreman is amazing. Not cheap but well worth the price. I have been using on a daily basis. Great product.

Great product. Tremondous time saver. Paid for itself in first two months by saving time hand drilling pocket holes. Much prefer this over Porter Cable.
Fast and simple to use.

I labored over the decision to purchase this tool for months and then after it was ordered, I suffered buyer's remorse until the day I drilled the first hole. Now, I highly recommend this purchase even to hobbyists who would only use it infrequently.

I have owned the Foreman for a few years. It is a huge time saver and works extremely well. I to experienced the welds on the arm breaking and the motor mount failing, but Kreg sent me new parts very quickly at no charge. Not only is this one of my favorite tools in the shop making cabinet work quick and enjoyable, the exceptional customer service is second to none. If you use a Kreg Jig now, you will not be sorry upgrading to the Foreman. Thanks Kreg tools for taking care of us cabinet makers!

I own this tool and have used it in a home shop (very light duty) for a couple of years. The welds that connect the lever arm to the actuator rod cracked. I contacted Kreg and was told I had to purchase a new actuator arm. I was expecting better service from Kreg and have been happy with their other products. I ended up repairing the unit myself thanks to a welder friend but was disappointed in Kreg Tools support and my opinion of the company has been lowered a notch.
