fair point but i think the point of the phrase is that a good workman wouldn't get bad tools to begin with or would replace/fix their tools when they became hard to use so a poor workman is either stupid enough to get shit tools or has good tools but is too bad to use them then proceeds to act as if its the tools fault

Yeah, they're HIS tools. Blaming your own tools, you either suck at using tools, or you suck at buying tools/planning.
