That would make me think he was new
at the job, with a new set of tools.

But you are not the customer. They like shiny professional looking tools.

Well-used, but well-maintained, tools
are the mark of the craftsman.

Turn up in old scruffy clothes an tool bag full of crap and half rusty cheap
iron tools and instantly you are branded a cowboy. The Brits have not
grasped this yet. The Americans figured this out decades ago. In the
recent TV prog, Posh Plumbers, the owner had the right idea. The men, and
women, had to look smart at all times, otherwise you were reprimanded, and
the vans clean, looking like new. The van with your name on is also an
advertising board, so must be clean at all times.

Is this what the people who come and rectify your balls ups look like?

I have shiny toys, look - I must be good
