I wasted $150 on a chain whip that snapped after 3 cassette swaps

Bought this cheap off-brand chain whip from Amazon back in February. First two cassettes came off fine but on the third one the handle just snapped right where it connects to the chain. Lost the $150 for the tool and had to pay my shop $40 to finish the job. Anyone else had bad luck with those no-name tools from Amazon?

$150 for a chain whip is insane, that's shop tool money.

Honestly @seanjackson, I used to think the same thing but that's a solid point. This has me rethinking my whole approach to tools.
