That $300 fusion splicer kit was a total scam for me

Bought one of those budget fusion splicer kits off an online auction site last spring. The electrodes burned out after maybe 60 splices and the alignment was never true, even after I cleaned everything twice. I ended up renting a proper unit from a local shop for a weekend job and it paid for itself in time saved. Anyone else get burned by cheap splicing gear or did I just pick a bad brand?

Honestly, 60 splices on cheap electrodes sounds about right for those kits, they're basically disposable.
