The $20 LED work light from Harbor Freight actually held up for a full kitchen remodel
I bought it as a joke to see how fast it'd die, but it lasted through three weeks of drywall dust and drops. Anyone else have a cheap tool that surprised them?

Oh wow, I heard those things are surprisingly tough for the price!

Oh man, I totally relate to this! I picked up one of those cheap LED tripod lights (the kind that looks like it belongs in a low-budget music video) and figured it'd fizzle out after one use. But that thing survived me dropping it off a ladder twice and somehow still works, which is more than I can say for my phone screen (RIP). Honestly, it's become my weirdest source of pride, like "yeah, my lamp is tougher than your lamp." I love when cheap stuff just decides to be durable for no reason.
