/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Do they use anything beyond the screwdrivers and bits?

If they have the ratchets and wrenches, it’s sort of a sunken cost fallacy. Too proud to admit they made a poor decision and blaming the hardware when their Joker(tm) wrench slips or thinking it’s normal that your ratchet doesn’t fit sockets from other brands because “the machining on those other sockets must suck”.

Meanwhile in the US, where we have a good selection of the best tool truck stuff and industrial brands and affordable mechanic-focused Taiwan made tools, Reddit is relegated to knoife collectors looking to add some color to their EDC, but people in the trades who were tricked by the social media campaign are often disappointed because there are far better offerings for the money.

Wera on Amazon is hilarious because 80% of it is 5 star reviews from redditors making unboxing vids and the other 20% is people in the trades who got it on a recommendation from their cousin who makes unboxing vids and say shit like “It’s ok, but for the money I wish I just went with Klein” or “The ratchet blew out on me after 2 weeks in the shop and cost almost as much as the Snap On that lasted me 20 years”

>tfw Wera collectors are the same people with a drawer full of unused Spyderco knives
Makes perfect sense

The Amazon reviews of Wera tools are priceless. None of the buyers use them to accomplish anything worthwhile.
