The first cool car I ever owned was an old '67 Mustang. I rebuilt the motor myself. I used a come-along attached to a tree branch as an engine hoist. All my tools were Stanley or Montgomery Wards, usually from a pawn shop. I used a crescent wrench if I didn't have the right size socket and used a screwdriver as a pry bar and chisel. Engine ran great when I was done. Does that mean that's the only way to do it?
Why do you own a socket set when a crescent wrench "turns the nut the same way"? Why drive a Porsche, a Civic is the same thing, right?
I agree that lots of people don't use their fancy kitchens, but even then it's a good investment as it's expected for resale in certain types of houses. But just because you make a living selling toys to posers doesn't mean everyone who buys that stuff does it for looks.
If you know how to use the tools, the tools do make a difference. Maybe the old sales guy thinks a turkey pot pie and a Schlitz is good eats. More power to him, but just because he can't tell the difference doesn't mean no one else can.
