First time I've really used pocket holes. Needed a way to assemble an odd cabinet in place in tight quarters. Pocket screws were the perfect solution. It worked so well and is so quick that I think I'm going to be using this approach for non-structural cabinets a lot more instead of glueing up biscuit-joints.
A few cautions. Suggest spending a fair bit of time setting the drill stop for optimum depth then make sure that set screw is tight tight tight. Strongly advise using a variable speed drill which has really good low RPM control and good trigger control - that drill bit is really 'grabby' when you start up inside the drill guide. There's not much wood left in the plywood under the screw head, thought I could go cheap where the plywood didn't show. would have worked fine with biscuits but the internal layers weren't strong enough to hold the joint tight with just a few screw heads after a bit of lateral wracking, had to go with good 7 ply instead.
