Bought a cheap paint thickness gauge online and it cost me a whole day

I got a $40 digital gauge from some random website to save cash on a Honda Accord job. The numbers were all over the place, so I kept re-sanding areas I didn't need to touch. Ended up wasting about 8 hours reworking the whole passenger door before I borrowed a mate's proper tool and saw the real readings. Has anyone found a decent budget gauge that actually works, or is it just worth paying for the good stuff?

Nah, you just didn't calibrate it right.

Guess I'll just throw the whole thing out then.
