Several months ago I looked at both Kreg (all plastic) and Harbor Freight (all aluminum) pocket hole jigs. I know most of harbor freights tools are of poor quality but after seeing the pocket hole jig in person, I was impressed with it's quality, fairly thick well machined aluminum construction. Unlike Kreg, the jig hole width spacing is also fully adjustable.
Although kreg has more specific height adjustments for board thickness, HF version has 2 sets of holes for different thickness board's, one for 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" & one for 1" to 1/2". I've used it a few times since and it seems to perform ok.
Not too shabby for $65 bucks.
