Hit 50 uses on my cheap oscillating tool blade and it still cuts

I bought a 5-pack of blades at Harbor Freight for 8 bucks back in January thinking they'd be junk. But after using the same one for 50 cuts through trim, drywall, and even a few nails, it's STILL going strong. I kept waiting for it to dull out but I must have gotten lucky with my batch or something. Has anyone else had a cheap blade last way longer than expected or am I just not cutting hard enough stuff?

Wait, 50 cuts including nails? That blade should be toast. Are you sure you're not secretly made of magic or something?

Wait, are you calling me a wizard just cause I got lucky on a saw blade? @evaperez, I swear I was half-expecting sparks to fly and the blade to self-destruct on the last cut. Honestly, it was more luck than magic, but I'll take the compliment.
