The right tool, for the right job.

If you watch an expert arborist (tree man) at work, you’ll notice that they’ve removed every single safety guard from their chainsaws.

Every now and then, there’s a nasty accident, but most of them respect their tools, and just make a lot of money (which you’ll understand, if you’ve ever hired one).

Same goes for pretty much any vocation.

That said, manufacturers have learned that there’s a lot of money to be made, selling professional tools, to insecure fools with money.

There’s a big ego hit, in LARPing a highly-experienced engineer, when you’re not one, yourself.
