If you're worried about breaking your pocket hole jig, then you're using it wrong.

Your drill is made of plastic, and it doesn't break unless you seriously abuse it.
These pocket hole jigs are made of plastic, and they don't break unless you seriously abuse them.
Kreg uses steel where necessary and a high quality glass impregnated nylon for the rest. They are plenty strong and durable for their intended use so there's not much reason to switch to aluminum.
I agree that their shipping prices can be a bit high. If you live near a store they ship to store for free.

I'm in the same boat. I'm trying to compare it to competitor brands to see if it's still slick after shipping

the item seems to be more solid than the Kreg that I have. The base is plastic not sure how well it will hold up in the long run.

You can get Chinese ones made out of milled aluminum for the same price. Don't settle for cheap plastic.

Out of lightweight material that is meant to absorb drop impacts or vibrations without cracking/breaking. You picked the worst possible tool choice for your "gotcha".

I have a clamp-in-place Kreg which has been great but I'd like one with vacuum and bench mount... Aluminum like the Powertec one seems like a good option. Is there a reason for Kreg or Armor-tool over an aluminum version?

Yes, but in this case I meant it as in buying a Chinese product directly from a Chinese store rather than a domestic one. Shipping is crazy fast these days, especially for BG.
