As a hobbyist, I have also run thousands of holes with no apparent wear. I would think a pro would be using a Castle machine for pocket screws. I have one, and use the Kreg because I like it.
I also have two of the original cast aluminum models, and they are great, but I like the K3 (mine), and K5 better because of the front mounted lever.
Gotta get around to selling off that Castle someday.
PS: Really curious to see if the Kreg track fits my Makita track saw.
