Key Features
Automatic Clamping Automaxx dual-action clamping grabs the workpiece and adjusts for thickness at the same time. That means faster setup and fewer mistakes when you move between different board sizes. Wide Material Range The Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig 720 works with material from 1/2 inch to 1-1/2 inch thick. That covers a lot of common woodworking jobs, from lighter shop builds to heavier cabinet and furniture parts. Cleaner Drilling Built-in dust collection with a vacuum adapter and chip ejection port helps keep chips moving out of the jig. You get a cleaner work area and better visibility while drilling pocket holes.
Overview
The Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig 720 is Kreg’s premium pocket-hole joinery jig for faster, more consistent wood fastening. This is a pocket-hole jig designed for drilling fast, repeatable pocket holes in wood stock. Model Number KPHJ720. It is built for woodworkers, cabinet installers, furniture builders, and serious DIY users who want quicker setup and more reliable results than a basic pocket-hole jig.
The big selling point here is the Automaxx dual-action clamping system. Instead of stopping to manually reset the clamp for every material thickness, the jig automatically adjusts while it clamps the board. On the bench, that saves time when you’re bouncing between different parts and helps keep hole placement more consistent. The working range of 1/2 inch to 1-1/2 inch covers common material sizes used in cabinetry, shelving, face frames, and furniture building.
Kreg also built the Pocket-Hole Jig 720 to be easier to live with over the long haul. The body uses impact-resistant polymer, while the frame adds steel where stiffness matters. That combination gives you a jig that is tough enough for regular shop use without feeling overly bulky. The hardened-steel drill guides are a key wear point on any pocket-hole jig, and Kreg backs those guides with a lifetime warranty, which matters if this tool is going to see a lot of repetitive drilling.
Setup details are where this jig separates itself from simpler options. The quick-set drill bit and stop collar help shorten the process of getting ready to drill, while the GripMaxx anti-slip clamping surface helps keep the workpiece from creeping when the bit starts cutting. That matters because shifting at the jig is one of the fastest ways to ruin alignment on pocket-hole joinery. When a jig holds steady, assembly goes smoother and final fit-up is better.
Dust handling is another practical upgrade. The integrated dust collection system includes a vacuum adapter and chip ejection port, so chips have somewhere to go instead of packing into the drill area. If you’ve used a pocket-hole jig that clogs up after a string of holes, you already know why this is worth having. Better chip evacuation helps keep drilling smoother and cleanup shorter.
The Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig 720 also gives you a cleaner workstation thanks to onboard storage for accessories. Keeping the setup tools and drivers on the jig means less hunting around the bench when you’re in the middle of a project. Kreg also notes that this jig can be expanded with the Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig Clamp or Kreg Docking Station, sold separately, for users who want a more built-out joining station.
Out of the box, Kreg includes 60 pocket-hole screws and a free project plan, so you can put the jig to work right away. That does not make it a full hardware solution for every build, but it does give first-time users enough to get started and learn the system without immediately needing extra supplies.
If you build cabinets, face frames, utility shop projects, shelving, or small furniture, this jig makes a strong case for itself. It is especially appealing for users who value repeatability, quick setup, and less fiddling between boards of different thicknesses. If you only drill a handful of pocket holes once a year, a simpler jig may be enough. If you use pocket-hole joinery regularly, the time savings on this one add up fast.

Pro Tip
If you’re batching parts in different thicknesses, keep matching screw sizes separated before you start. The Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig 720 adjusts to stock thickness fast, so the next thing that usually slows people down is grabbing the wrong screws, not setting the jig.
Warranty & Support
The hardened-steel drill guides on the Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig 720 are backed by a lifetime warranty.

- Who it’s for: Woodworkers, cabinet builders, and serious DIY users who drill enough pocket holes to appreciate faster clamping and easier changeovers.
- Why it stands out: The automatic clamping system, broad 1/2 inch to 1-1/2 inch material range, onboard storage, and built-in dust collection make it more job-friendly than a stripped-down jig.
- Worth knowing: You get screws to start with, but this is still a system tool. If you build often, you’ll want extra Kreg screws and may want the optional clamp or docking station.
