Kreg C-WHT White Plastic Caps (50-Pack) Review

I had read the review below and was worried about getting these pegs to work with my project.
Well, I did figure out why the pegs don't always fit the hole very well - The pocket hole jig is adjustable to accomodate wood that is 3/4" thick up to 1 1/2" thick. This dramatically changes the depth of the hole. If your hole is drilled into 3/4" wood, the pegs do stick up quite a lot. They fit perfectly into a hole drilled into 1 1/2" thick wood.
The solution is really simple though - just trim the peg a bit before you put it in the hole. You don't have to cut the slanted end, just the nearly flat end that rests against the head of the screw. With a little experimenting, it is easy to eyeball the correct cut that will bring the peg into a reasonable sanding height. It isn't ideal and I'd much rather have pegs specifically designed for 3/4" stock but they certainly aren't impossible - it beats making the whole plug from scratch!

I can't speak to other brands of pocket screws, but I can speak to the downfalls of using non-pocket stainless screws in a pocket-hole application. Don't do it. All I had on hand was 2 1/2" stainless trim screws with a countersunk head. Instead of delaying my project and acquiring the right materials, I used the non-pocket screws with poor results. The countersunk head caused splitting in my workpiece that increased to unacceptable levels over the winter. I have since added additional pocketholes and used these screws with much better results.

Stainless steel offers maximum protection in an environment where ordinary carbon steel fasteners are prone to rust. These screws feature the same high performance design that you have come to expect from Kreg pocket-hole screws with the added benefits of 305 alloy stainless steel. Screws are suitable for most marine applications. Perfect for outdoor furniture. Handy for most outdoor projects, compatible with ACQ treated lumber, and reduces staining in acidic woods such as cedar and redwood
