Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Thomas Shey]

Survivorship bias is a thing, too. I've got cheap, crappy modern tools and good modern tools. Guess which ones last longer?

Very possible. I'm not a handy enough person I would automatically know where to draw the line between good modern hand tools and bad ones.

Generally speaking, I only bother buying the good stuff if I have a cheap one wear out on me. Or if I use it enough that it hurts my hands and I care enough to get a more ergonomic version. I can't tell you how much easier flat pack furniture is with a high quality, long handled, ball end allen wrench.

I can beleive it. I can't say I use anything but screwdrivers and occasional wrenches, so my sense of such things is not good.
