Took a gamble on a $50 diamond blade from a hardware store in Phoenix instead of my usual $200 pro one

Old timer at the job site told me I was wasting money on expensive blades and I figured I'd prove him wrong but that cheap blade actually cut just as clean through a 40-foot driveway last Thursday, anyone else had luck with budget blades or was this a fluke?

That cheap blade actually cut just as clean" is what got me. I've had the same thing happen with a $30 blade from Home Depot here in Austin that lasted through a whole patio job. It's like sometimes you get lucky and the budget stuff just works, you know? But I've also had cheap blades explode on me halfway through a cut, so it's a real toss up. Maybe it depends on the batch or the type of concrete you're hitting.
