Thoughts on the new Kreg Edge?

[Max]

Kreg has released what they hope is a Festool Domino killer. https://www.kregtool.com/shop/power...rive-loose-tenon-joiner-kit/KPTBEDGE100B.html

I am curious on what the reviews will say once it's out. I'm sold on the speed, utility, flexibility, and strength of floating tenons, so I'm interested in how this stacks up against the Domino. Interestingly, it appears to use exactly the same cutter but Kreg says that their tenons are somehow different. If the Kreg is anywhere close to the Festool in performance, it's going to be a much cheaper alternative to the Domino.

No. I have too many electric tools to be buying a duplicate of a cordless tool.

Insightful review - thank you.

Now that Festool’s patent has expired I’m expecting other manufacturers will come out with their versions. I would be more tempted by a manufacturer that I had more confidence in, such as Milwaukee, DeWalt or Makita.

Already Kreg rebel on marketplace FS at 240.00. Guess original buyer didn’t like it

The Kreg Rebel is used to drill pocket holes for pocket hole joinery. It essentially drills a slanted hole in which you screw in a pocket screw to hold the two pieces together. This is a very different approach than the Festool domino or Kreg Edge - both of which drill out two holes into which a piece of wood is glued.

So far as I can tell, the Edge is still not released.

No biggie. If you do ever get an Edge, let us know what you think.

I like this review because they begrudgingly gave it. No hype, just their experience and a bit of cynicism
