Spent $35 on a 'pry bar set' that was just rebranded paint can openers

Ordered them online from a random discount tool site. The smallest one bent on the first plastic trim piece I tried to pop. My old butter knife actually works better and cost nothing. Anyone else get scammed by those cheap tool bundles?

Man, it's $35. Is it really worth getting worked up over?

Is it really worth getting worked up over?" I mean, probably not, but it's more about feeling like a chump for falling for it. Spent $35 on that same type of set a while back and the tiny pry bar bent in half on a plastic door panel. Now I just use a sturdy butter knife I grabbed from the kitchen, works better and I didn't waste cash. Plus, I also bought a "master bit set" that was just a bunch of stripped-out hex bits, so I'm 0 for 2 on cheap tool bundles. Ever had a tool fail on you in the first five seconds of use?
