Pocket hole jig - is this one worth it?

[Jillos]

I want to have a go with pocket holes - I make a lot of planters and other bits for my garden, and figure it would just be a useful tool to have. As I've not had one before, I don't want to splash on a Kreg, but I found a you tuber who endorsed this one:

As always with Amazon, the reviews are mixed, and a few folk seem to be saying that the drill guides wear out quickly.

Does anyone have one, and is it worth a punt do you think?

I have a Trend one that's very similar - works fine - all pretty simple. Buy one. [You'll probably find the same thing on Banggood/Alie/Temu for a lot less money if that's an issue]

The Kreg range is great but overkill/expensive - watch Shara at Woodshop Diaries on YT - she's the "pocket hole queen" making everything with them.
