My $60 crimp tool set crapped out after a week of installs

I picked up a budget crimp tool kit off Amazon to save some cash on a big job last month. After about 50 coax connections the ratchet mechanism just stopped catching properly. Started getting loose terminations and had to redo three drops before I figured out it was the tool. Anyone else had a cheap crimper fail mid job or should I just stick with the Klein going forward?

Klein is the way to go, never had that issue.

Oh yeah, Klein tools have never let me down either!
