Wasted $80 on a fancy coaxial stripper that only worked twice

Saw this premium ratcheting coax stripper online, supposedly the best thing since sliced bread for avionics work. Ordered it for $80 and felt like a pro stripping my first cable with it. On the third use, the blade snapped clean off inside the tool and jammed it up. Tried to warranty it but the company ghosted me. Anyone else get burned by a tool that looked legit but fell apart fast?

Best thing since sliced bread" my foot... sounds more like a $80 paperweight now. I always get burned when I buy the fancy version of something instead of the mid-range one that's been around forever. Maybe try a Klein or something boring next time if you want it to actually hold up.

Buddy of mine bought one and it died after three weeks of light use.
