My seam roller handle snapped clean off on a Friday afternoon job

Honestly, it was the last seam on a 400 square foot living room in Phoenix, and the metal just gave out. Tbh I had to finish the job by pressing down with the broken stub, which killed my palm. Ngl I've had that Stanley roller for like 8 years, so I guess it was time, but the timing was awful. Ended up ordering a new one from the supply house for $35, but had to wait until Monday. Has anyone else had a tool fail right at the finish line, and what's your go-to brand for a heavy-duty replacement?

Check the warranty first, maybe?

Isn't that always the best move? I just saved a ton on a laptop repair because it was still covered. Saved me from a huge headache.
