That $4 paintbrush from the hardware store in Boise outlasted my $60 set

Used it to sweep creosote off a liner last Tuesday and the bristles held up perfect while my expensive ones shed like a mangy dog, so what's your go-to cheap tool that refuses to quit?

Cheap tools know their job and do it, expensive ones act like they're above it all. That $10 putty knife I've had for years has outlasted three fancy ones from the big box stores. Price tags don't mean squat once you've got actual grime on your hands.
