Why does nobody talk about using a dollar store squeegee for applying vinyl wrap?

I was sure a $1.25 squeegee would scratch my wrap job, but it actually glided smoother and saved me from buying a $12 kit for my truck decal project last weekend, has anyone else tried cheap tools that ended up working better than the expensive ones?

Wait, wait wait. The_price at a dollar store? I've been using these expensive felt squeegees that cost like $8 each and they leave micro scratches if I'm not careful. Now I gotta know, was it just a plain flat squeegee or one of those with the little felt strip on it? Because if a literal $1.25 piece of plastic is out here outperforming my "professional grade" tools, I'm honestly kind of mad I didn't think of this sooner.

Funny how my cheap squeegee works better than I do.

50/50 chance it's the blade angle you're holding it at.
