That $20 hinge jig cost me a full afternoon of do-overs

Picked up a cheap hinge jig last month for a set of 12 cabinet doors in Spokane, and the bushing wore down so fast that every third hole came out crooked. After shimming three doors and still hearing that awful scrape on the frame, I tossed it and marked all the hinge spots by hand with a chisel and a center punch. Anyone else found a reasonable jig that actually holds up past one project, or is hand layout just the honest way to go?
