 Best for painted work September 12, 2008
I'm ambivalent about exposed, finished (plugged) pocket holes. Face it, they just aren't as attractive or decorative as, say, exposed dovetails. The fancied-up project you see in ads with contrasting color plugs doesn't improve things much, either.
Plugs DO work ... mostly. The basic problem is that the edge of a pocket hole is typically not very clean, so while the plug can be seated and glued in quite firmly, the effect at the edges still isn't pristine enough to my eyes to for finish quality. Other reviewers have commented on the large amount of protruding plug that has to be trimmed & sanded, which I wholeheartedly second.
I personally think the best use for pocket hole plugs is for painted work, where the plug can be made completely invisible.
 Kreg System June 24, 2008
I love my Kreg system. I built cabinets for a cabin with no previous experience and they look professional.

getting "plugged in"... September 15, 2007
These plugs work great. I don't think I'd have the patience to cut my own when I need to either hide pocket holes or, use them as part of the design. As good as they are I've given 4 stars because of price, otherwise they are a 5 star product.

I have been using this system for some time and these plugs just finish the joint off. Thanks Kreg.
ps: If you want to set off a joint ie: drawer- use a dark plug.
