Isn't that the point here, whilst all groups benefit from having
semi-pro and fully pro people from the trades, what is often forgotten
by those same people is that they might in a month use a tool more
than an average DIYer does in a year - IOW if the DIYer is going to
build their own house than the expense of buying pro tools makes sense
how ever you look at it but for someone who just does the odd DIY job
around it doesn't, the price certainly reflects the build quality but
not always the accuracy during the tools designed life span (which
will be measured in operating hours).

This would be true if "DIYers" as a class only wanted something that
will get the job done as cheaply as possible and don't care what the
quality of the results or the experience of use are like. While in some
cases this may be true, in many it is not.
