Bought a $12 bottle of hot sauce because the ad was just a guy in a chicken suit staring at the camera for 30 seconds saying nothing. That was 2019 and I still order it every few months. The trick is they never show the product until the end, so you sit there confused and then boom, you're on their site. $35 is cheap for a click that actually converts, most brands blow way more than that on ads nobody remembers.

I picked up a cheap circular saw for a deck job last summer when my worm drive was in the shop, and it cut just as good honestly. Sometimes the price tag is just about the name and not how it actually works. What I've noticed is that the blade matters way more than the tool itself, so if you swap in a decent blade on a cheap saw it'll keep up with the pricey stuff all day. The two things that usually kill cheap tools are heat and cheap bearings, so just don't run it nonstop and you should be fine. Sounds like you found a sleeper and there's nothing wrong with riding it as long as it holds up.
