Probably serious. My employer buys my tools, and replaces them if they break. If I continue breaking them, they get better ones until they quit breaking.
I feel the same way about knives.
Actually it keeps fresh tools in circulation therefore boosting productivity. No sense to try and use lousy old worn out tools.i feel bad for y'alls employers and customers and for y'all in general. as they replace tools y'all destroy.... there goes profits for the owner, cheaper prices for the customer, and bonuses and pay raises for y'all etc, etc, etc....
so be it. thanks for clarifying.

Or much sense in using something in a manner it's not designed for with the intention of breaking it.

"If you go through a lot of hammers each month, I don't think it necessarily means you're a hard worker. It may just mean that you have a lot to learn about proper hammer maintenance." Jack Handey, Deep Thoughts
We're not talking hammers here. Think matabos, porta bands, rattle guns, drill motors, roto hammers and a whole lot of other expensive crap. Once it's past its prime you smoke it, cut the cord and throw it away.
Has anyone ever had a lock fail on them while using a folder? Just wondering with all these edc fixed knife threads going around.
Yup that's the kind of stuff that pisses me off. And to the guys preaching proper use of this and that: if every tool was used exactly as it were designed and every rule and regulation were followed nothing would ever get done. It would be impossible to complete a project. You'd get run off the job.
Agreed.
Most people that make comments like that simply do not work with tools in a construction environment.
However, that doesn't discount that failure of a tool when used not as it is meant to be is on the user. (This is not as obvious as you would think)
I personally find that the best made tools can handle the job they where designed to do as well as the other things we all know they will sometimes have to do....
