Well... The Google tells me that "grease monkey" is a derogatory term for a mechanic. I don't think it is generally meant to describe someone that you think very highly of. The Google also tells me that "craftsman" is a person who is skilled in a particular craft or art. I think this is generally used as defined. The Google never lies.
Using the two together seems to imply we have "skilled people who care about elegant code and tool selection" and "mechanics that like to tinker". Like I said, I don't think that is how you meant it... but that is how it comes off to me. And I tried really hard not to project any value judgement.
