Why nobody tells you those cheap coping saw blades are a total scam

I bought a 12 pack of no-name blades from a hardware store in Phoenix for like $8. They snapped on the third cut and the teeth were dull before I finished one window casing. I lost 2 hours redoing the cuts with my old blade and the wood was all chewed up. My buddy laughed and said I should have spent $15 on a decent 5 pack instead. Anyone else get burned by cheap tool accessories?

Bought a similar pack and the teeth were gone before I finished one cut.

Were you using it on something harder than normal wood or pushing way too hard? I've had cheap packs die fast but usually they last through at least a few cuts. Maybe that one was just a defective batch or something.
