As a diy-er Always found it funny how YouTubers always have the most pristine tools while professionals will have the dingiest, sketchiest tools. Granted, YouTubers are representing their craft but the two (professional and YouTuber) are very distinct from each other.
It’s ok to have tools that look like they’ve gone through hell and back, because that’s the only way you know they have.
This is a fair part assesment, however you also have to consider how people take care of their tools. A 40 year old tool that looks as beat up as a 5 year old tool has been taken care of better by the owner/user.
That said, I feel like we all have that massive sacrificial flat head that’s no longer flat, super warped, got electrical bites, and still keeps chugging.
