Never underestimate the power of bad tools. A very long time ago I tried
to learn to play the guitar. I was given an inexpensive learning guitar
by the instructor which was included in the cost of the course. My
fingers always hurt and I could barely bend the strings to reach the
fretboard. I gave it up as hopeless, that I just wasn't talented enough.
Years later I picked up a good guitar and was amazed, (though I still
didn't have any talent, but that's besides the point).
I discovered the same thing about woodworking tools.
Personally, I don't know how a person can think their skills won't do
justice to a good tool.
