“It’s a poor worksman who blames his tools” has always been complete nonsense. No-one complains about imperfect tools faster and louder than a master. A master will yank a cheap or damaged tool out of your hand and yell at you for not blaming it yet
Cheap, lousy tools come from middle managers who don’t know how to do your job. Blame the hell out of poor tools and those who demand you use them
Good craftsmen don’t blame bad tools because they don’t use bad tools. They have learned the craft well enough to know what makes a good tool and will get that one and properly maintain it.
Also, good craftsmen could use bad tools if they really had to, and they’d still produce decent work out of it.
While a bad craftsman does shitty work and then blames the bad tools for it.
