I didn't think of these points when I posted earlier.
You only have to look at the handyman tools your average office worker at home has to realise they don't know the difference between good and bad quality tools. No wonder they expect others to be happy with the crap stuff they have at home.
One thing to ponder as well. A tradesman will pay good money to buy high quality tools with his/her own money as he/she knows the tools will give long lasting service. Some of these penny pinching types who want to deny these tradesman good gear would never spend up on good quality "work tools" with their own money but will happily spend the companies money to ensure they have the best of everything.
