What's "an ordinary DIYer"?

Someone who isn't a tool collector

Does such a DIY person exist?

No of course not. It's just a stereotype beloved by marketeers in
cheap supermarkets, TV producers and botchers.


Given that it's almost impossible to do any DIY without a tool of some
sort, the question is where to stop. In my case, that point doesn't
seem to exist, just the space to keep them all.


It's a matter of selection. Buy good quality in the first place and
the issue of storing junk that one can't bear to part with becomes
irrelevant.
