# 4, a tool snob. Just like the coffee snobs who pay $3.50 for a cup of Joe
at Fartbucks, if you don't pay a ton of money it's not worth crap. Maybe he
doesn't have the skill to use any tool to it's utmost capability, and buys
the most expensive tools to compensate for his lack of skill.

I also buy expensive tools. I don't buy them BECAUSE they are
expensive. I buy them because they are good, and often have to pay
quite a bit more than the cheap hardware store crap to get that
quality. I'm spoiled by inheriting a bunch of good tools from my
dad. Practically all of what is in the local hardware store is
observed instantly to be far inferior to those old tools.
It is getting really hard to find ANY decent tools anymore,
power or hand. I have some old Craftsman screwdrivers, and when
they wear out, I'm going to have a problem replacing them.
(And forget Sears, of course.)
