Miller Dowel's 1X Joinery Kit - Birch Review

I typically build utility grade cabinet drawers with my biscuit joiner, because it's relatively easy to use and produces a strong joint. I bought these to try as an alternative. After making a few drawers with these I like the attractiveness of the dowel pins' end grain, but it took me twice as long to build these drawers as it would have with my biscuit joiner.

Typically you assemble a drawer, clamp it up, and adjust for squareness. These pins have to be driven in, so the process of driving the pins creates force on the assembly which pulls it apart. To fix this issue, you have to clamp the assembly at the 90 degree angle to hold the two boards you are trying to assemble (Rockler sells a angle bracket for this purpose or you can build your own). I found this to be a tedious process that would not have to be done with dovetails or biscuits.

On the plus-side, the dowels seem to produce a comparably strong joint.
