    Why does my pocket hole joinery ?

    I've had a Kreg K4 for a number of years and only use it occasionally.
    However, I can't recall one successful joint that I have ever made.

    For example, my latest failure was to build a gate for my chicken fence.
    I used furring strips and tried to make it sort of like a cabinet face frame.

    Using the recommended size screw was too short and used the next size which sort of held but a couple of the cross pieces pulled out.
    I believe I have the jig and bit set properly; read and re-read directions and watched a ton of videos to see if I can figure it out.
    I clutch down when driving screws

    Why this matters is that I need to build a couple cabinets for my kitchen.
    It would be really nice to use pocket screws.

    If anyone has thoughts I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks
