Tbh I lost a whole afternoon trying to save a buck with a cheap taping knife from a big box store.

Honestly it flexed so bad on a flat seam that I had to redo the whole wall and wasted about 4 hours of my day.

Wasted 4 hours" seems a bit much, even with a floppy knife. Tylerr29's buddy sanding for two hours over a small patch is just as wild.

Oh man, my buddy had the same thing happen with a cheap spackle knife. The blade was so thin it just flopped over, left ridges everywhere. He ended up sanding for like two hours to fix one small patch.

My cousin's cheap putty knife bent so bad it looked like a modern art sculpture.
