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!

For those times when pocket holes won't be hidden on the backside of your project or you want to highlight them decoratively, use pocket hole plugs. Plugs are offered in 7 solid wood species, and 5 plastic cap colors for use on laminated surfaces. 50 per

Senco FramePro 502 Full Round Head Framing Nailer Review

Senco FramePro 502 Full Round Head Framing Nailer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
At first I was skeptical because this gun is so inexpensive on Amazon but don't let it fool you. Senco knows how to make a quality gun since they were one of the first to do so. Because of the full head nails, you reload more often then most other guns so this isn't for speed framers. Received many compliments from fellow carpenters.

Milwaukee 6740-20 6.5 Amp Screwdriver Review

Milwaukee 6740-20 6.5 Amp Screwdriver
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
...This Milwaukee driver is perfect! If you are looking for real power, this is the driver! Hit the trigger, and it will almost twist your wrist. A very versatile tool, it will dimple drywall with zero damage, yet drive a screw (3 1/2") into 75+ year old studs without hesitation. The adjustment is able to change drop-off depths by 1/64". Once you set it up, it never changes. Changing bits is easy, too. The whole nose snaps off to change bits, and you don't lose your adjustment. This is one of my favorite features since my former drywall gun nose piece had to be screwed off to change bits, then readjusted. I was a little concerned about the low max RPM (2500 RPM). (Must be a guy thing!) This is more than enough speed. The trigger is very sensitive to pressure, so speed can be regulated easy. As usual, Milwaukee Tools are the best! The only drawback was delivery, not the tool. I ordered it on June 28th, and received it August 9th. Order it before you need it ...

These lights work much better than other solar lights I have purchased (and had to replace) in the past. Easy to install and give off enough light without attracting mosquitos. I am quite pleased with them and would recommend them to others.

Grabber DMP125-10 Deckmaster Hidden Deck Bracket System Brown Powder Coat Brackets with 1-1/4" Deck Screws & 1" Joist Screws 10 Pack Review

Grabber DMP125-10 Deckmaster Hidden Deck Bracket System Brown Powder Coat Brackets with 1-1/4 Deck Screws and 1 Joist Screws 10 Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently purchased 1 contractors pack and 3 individual packs of the undermount decking product called Deckmaster. I have installed them on my new deck and am hoping that they work well. I did not know of the problems until after it was too late to change my mind.
I have the following complaints about the product...
1) The quality of the product in the individual box is inferior to the quality of the product in the contractor box. Even though the boxes indicate they are the same, in actuality they are not the same. The metal used for the rails is different and the screws are different, both inferior, in the individual box. To me this is dishonest at best but leans towards outright deceit. If I had only purchased the individual box I would have been cursing the product during the entire installation because the screws are terrible.
2) The screws are not long enough. I ended up replacing ALL of the decking screws because the kept stripping out the deck, even though I had the clutch on my drill set to a very low setting. There was only 1/4" to 1/2" penetrating into the decking and it was not, and is not, satisfactory. It cost me an extra $100 to replace the screws and if I had it to do over again I would not use the product for this reason alone. I would love to ask for a rebate but I know that request would fall on deaf ears.
3) The methodology outlined in the instructions does not produce a satisfactory amount of available screw holes where the rails meet. The instructions should indicate that the rails need to overlap a bit.
4) The front and/or back edge of the deck also needs to have the rails attached if the decking is to be adequately attached. The instructions and website should reflect this.
5) Two screws is not enough to hold down the decking. I used 3 screws at every joist in order to ensure that there was adequate staying power. The kit should contain enough screws for this and the instructions should indicate this.
Overall, I believe that the product will work well but only because of the modifications that I made with the longer screws and the additional number of screws used. However, I am disappointed by the dishonesty displayed in the quality differences between the same product (contractor pack vs individual pack), and I am beyond irritated that I had to replace the screws.

I found this product to work great. Easy to apply, we just shook it up and applied with brush. We waited 24 hours and away we went. This was applied to a composite deck with fiberglass fibers which would get in the bottom of your feet. With this application, we no had the problem and this was on a deck around an above ground pool. We were very satisfied. If it holds up we will be very very satisfied!
