That is bull****. Maybe YOU can't, but I have and do. Some of my
cheap tools have paid for my expensive tools. I have a Ryobi 9" band
saw that's made me more than 10 times what it cost, and it's still in
the shop in the shadow of its new bigger brother, which would still be
considered a cheap tool by many even though it cost 5 times as much.

On the flip side of that coin, a 9" Ryobi band saw is really over kill
considering that you certainly can use a coping saw or Craftsman Jig Saw to
do the same thing.

I think that the need of better tools is all relative to the quantity you
produce. With few exceptions better tools will speed production.
