I apologize if any hobbyist reading this is offended. I have great respect for hobbyists. But I have no respect for the position that toy tools are generally suitable for hobbyists, or that there's a small subset of available parts that will cover most hobbyist needs. Indeed, the hobbyist universe I perceive is broader than the one where I work (scientific instruments for spacecraft). Hobbyists have as much need for excellent tools as professionals.
