PSA: Don't waste money on those cheap seam rollers from the hardware store

Bought a $8 seam roller from a big box store thinking it'd do the job. After 3 jobs, it fell apart and I had to redo a seam that cost me an extra 2 hours of time. Anyone else have better luck with the higher-end ones?

Bought one of those cheap seam rollers too and felt like I was playing Jenga with my drywall. Thing wobbled worse than my uncle at a family reunion after three beers. Ended up with a roller that had the handle snap clean off mid seam - gave the wall a nice little surprise crack for my trouble. Guess you get what you pay for, right? Lesson learned the hard way.

Snapped clean off mid seam? That's wild.
