Rant: My cheap tablet for on-site markups cost me a full day of work

I bought a no-name brand drawing tablet for $80 to do quick redlines in the field. The pen pressure just stopped working after a month, right in the middle of a big site plan update. I had to go back to the office and redo three hours of work on my main machine. Has anyone found a reliable budget tablet that can actually handle daily use?

Check if your software has a pressure sensitivity toggle.

That's a classic problem with the super cheap tablets. Saw a review that said the drivers for those off-brand ones are often the weak point. Maybe try a used Wacom Intuos, the older models are built like tanks.
