I'm talking about tools you love to use. Tools that make a difference when

become quite clear.

When you ask a tool to do a job it wasn't intended to do, guess what,
it doesn't perform well. If you take a cheap a tool to an expensive
piece of wood and wreck it you're an idiot, not for buying the tool
but for having happen exactly what you'd expect to happen and then
blaming the tool. If you feel like your tools are holding you back
then by all means get a better tool for the task at hand. But don't
insinuate that anyone who doesn't spend as much on tools as you
doesn't care about the quality of their work as much as you do.
