Tried those cheap fiber bend testers from Amazon, regret it after 2 jobs

Picked up one of those $35 fiber optic bend testers off Amazon last month. Figured it would be a quick way to check tight spots without hauling the good OTDR out of the truck. First job went fine, second job it said a line was good and the customer had no signal. Redid the whole run and found a kink behind a drop ceiling. The cheap unit just didnt catch it. Lesson learned, I'll spend the extra hour or use the real gear. Anyone else had a cheap tool just flat out lie to them on a job?
