Waste of money, useless.
Stay away from this piece of c**p. Buy a Kreg. I bought this one because it was cheap. Complete waste of money. The drill bits are not for the jig so they are a real pain to use. The clamping is difficult because when you start to try and drill it catches. Loads of filings coming away. The Kreg one I bought was £30 and it is amazing. Stay away from this one, buy a better quality one or don't bother.

Failed the first time used.
This is the result of using this poorly made and cheap device.If you look at the photograph, you can see on the left hand 'slot' a burr where the 10 mm drill has rubbed all the way along this jig, the sliver appearance against the blue coating. This resulting in damage to the drill, jug and work-piece,The right hand slot fared a little better, this time using the 8 mm drill, but the damage to the work-piece again was significant, and it did not drill the wood at all just rubbed it - see the brown dust covering in the right hand slot.On checking the device out, the sizes are imperial, and either the angle (15 degree) is wrong or the drill used in both slots is wrong size.Overall a poor piece of equipment, and is not fit for purpose.

rubbish
drill bits are to short, on the second hole I tried to drill I noticed aluminium filings in the sawdust, the drill cuts into the block

Give it a miss!
As others have said, this jig is hard to use and frankly rather dangerous. The drill bit chips away tiny bits of metal on every use (I had thought may be it would just need wearing in) and a clamp isn’t enough to hold it in place, it slips and slides all over, you you have to hold it down. It gets searingly hot very quickly.If you’re wanting to do pocket holes for aesthetics then give this a miss and spend the extra money on a better jig. It’s a mess!I just needed it to do a few holes for structural, not aesthetic, reasons so I took a chance on it but I do regret buying it now. It did the job badly and at great effort.

Good for the money, maybe spend more if that is an option to you
I'll start this by saying I am no wood worker. I bought this with the intention of creating some joints in MDF.I read the some of the other reviews which where slating the product. I couldn't justify the cost of a decent jig so took a gamble.The jig its self is made of aluminium, it feels like a reasonable grade. the drill bits do look like regular wood bits but I was able to get what I wanted done being careful as I went.I found that I struggled to get the depth right at first, maybe the stepped drill bit would have helped. Either way, I got the job done. I can't say for sure how long the unit will last.On a side note, I did mean to get photos of the jig in use, however I forgot to and its been raining ever since so have not been able to get out to try it since :(

Worth considering an alternative
I bought this to understand if I like pocket holes. Yes, it does drill a pocket that is usable. The actual jig has no instructions. The drill doesn't appear very sharp and seems to want to drill the jig as well as the wood. The hole clogs with saw dust. The jig moves and there is no way to reposition it in the same place again. The depth stop fir the drill doesn't stay in place. I replaced this with a well known brand for about 4 times as much. If you are even slightly serious about using pocket holes don't bother buying this.

waste of time - don't make the mistake I did
I have never worked with pocket joints before, I thought a kit would be a good start, but did not want to buy the significantly more expensive Kregg jig.I know see why they can charge a premium, the competition produce C**P, the drills are not long enough, the drill sizes do not fir standard pocket screws. the guides are so sloppy as to render the tool useless, would be better making my own out of a piece of pine with no stell insert.Very disappointment. self inflicted buy cheap, get what you deserveOnly bonus I can return through amazon

Very good, so useful.
I think it is very handy and super easy to use kit. It makes my work so much easier and can manage to help me even with very solid wood. I am really happy with the results and no screws are visible while using it. I think since I started using it, my wooden items look better and more professional. Highly recommended for everyone, not too expensive, very handy, just the right size of the kit and can be use everyday whenever you need it! On the photo, you can see that there are no screws visible, so happy about it.
