That $75 fancy tong set I bought on a whim - handle melted on the first heat treat.
I dropped 75 bucks on these nice forged tongs with leather grips and the leather caught fire while I was pulling a 3/8 inch bar out of the forge, so now I'm back to using my rusty old ones - anyone else had fancy gear just fail on them like that?

Oh wait... the leather grips caught fire?! That's insane for 75 bucks. I would've been so mad watching my money go up in literal smoke like that.

Is it bad that my first thought was "at least you got a cool story out of it"? I once spent $80 on a frying pan that melted on my stove, so I guess we're both paying for the entertainment value.
