The guides on Kreg Jigs are metal.

I certainly hope so!

Regardless, if I can buy an all metal one, why buy plastic? I'll
never buy anything from Kreg, cuz they can make 'em outta metal, but
choose plastic cuz it's cheaper.

Like I sed, I prefer NOT to buy plastic, if I can avoid it. Sometimes
I cannot.

Most of the all metal pocket hole jigs I have seen are not as
adjustable as a lot of kreg jigs are might be a reason not to allow
your prejudice against any plastic in a tool to blind you.

the problem with the "nonadjustable" jig is that it is designed for 3/4"
thick material. You can put 2 by material in it but the screws exit and
enter other 2 by material 3/8" from the edge.
Ideally all pocket hole screws should enter and exit the material near
the center of the material.
