But therein lies the rub... the tools Constantine (great post by the
way) and to a lesser degree, I suggested, aren't more or less
"powerful" than many of the tools you're use to using on another
platform. They're simply a different set of tools because the jobs are
different. By neglecting these new tools in favor of old tools that may
have served you well for other jobs because you're comfortable with the
way they feel in your hand, you are running a very real risk of not
getting a bolt tightened down properly or stripping the threads. :)
