Who knows... Never heard of brand. Kit looks like it may be the seamed type. Around in some form from like 30 years on but never actually used one. Struck me as more a band aid to get car home from a long road trip or until really fixed. I wouldn't use one myself, though see the temptation.
Suggestion: You really do NOT want to do this job again--having done enough of them. Buy name brand parts, typically made in Europe. Top quality/go to OES supplier tends to be GKN/Lobro. Lots of sites that will give you accurate fitment info--FCP Euro, AutohausAZ, Rock Auto, ECS, etc.
You/mechanic are going to pull the half axle to do it right, so the kit really should also have the CV joint center bolt you replace in doing this. If you have not done job before--and specifically that bolt and its high torque--be sure you are up for it. Search for prior posts if needed Whether boots or CV joints or wheel bearing, all involve pulling and replacing that bolt.
