Dropped $45 on a 'pro-level' tamper that didn't fit my portafilter

Bought a fancy 58.4mm tamper from some Insta ad, turns out my machine's portafilter actually needs 58.5mm. Now it's a $45 paperweight because returns cost more than the thing itself. Anyone else get burned by those millimeter specs?

Bought a 58.5mm leveler once and it wobbled in my portafilter like a loose tooth. Ended up using it to press tofu instead.

Grabbed the 58mm version and it fits snug no wobble at all.
