Aluminum with steel inserts. I've used the Kreg jig and it doesn't compare.

HOWOD Pocket Hole Jig Kit System

Q: What am i missing? absolutely love this jig. but kreg 3/8” plugs drop right in the holes and are too small?

May want check the diameter with calipers on the plugs and the bit you’re using

Q: 1.5 to 1.5 board and 2.5 screw goes about .5 inches through to far. where can i find a screw lenth guide?

Having a similar issue here. Connecting 1-1/2" thick stock, so I'm setting the depth slider at 1-1/2" and then adjusting the drill bit collar using the provided spacer card. My Kreg pocket hole jig says that I should use 2-1/4" screws for this thickness of wood. The result is screws that protrude about 1" out the side of my workpiece. Am I missing something?

Q: Has the tolerance issue with the guides been addressed on the newly manufactured jigs?

I, personally, never experienced tolerance issues with this jig. Thus, if I have a, new model, the issue is resolved. Or, the tolerance issue was something of an aberration or it is a possibility some users were not accurately checking their bit sizes. Many users, sad to say, use metric sizes v SAE and this can certainly cause tolerance issues.
