    I don't mean it badly, of course. Most beginners and even more than
    beginners think of pliers as two halves in shapes that squeeze
    together. I have a whole spectrum of foreseeable things that I expect
    to get out of them, and the design needs to fit that plan or I won't
    buy them. The same goes for tweezers, which I use a lot - not just
    any tweezer will do, they need to have just that taper, and just that
    point. It's not that I'm picky, it's that I can choose between
    designs of tools, and I choose by my needs, not price or anything
    else - what someone tells me I should want, for instance. I don't
    work around my tools, my tools are chosen for my work, and one must
    know one's work in order to do that.
