but it's the skill of the craftsman that determines the outcome?

I bought a big hammer and a big drill but I can't use it. All well than I might have to return the tools, they are too heavy for me. When I called the store to complaint to the manager he told me that they sell smaller tools for woman because woman are not able to handle it because of the weight!

Well, bigger is better if you want to avoid having to utter the three words every craftsman fears:
"it is in?"

Its true that a skilled craftsman will get the job done even if the proper tools aren't available. But you are gonna have to worry about how well the work gets done. Do you want that hole plugged right, or just good enough to get you to the next garage while the shoddy worker pockets what you paid out. The proper tools get the job done right, and a job done right keeps you satisfied and coming back for more when you need it.
Just remember there is no replacement for displacement. Sure that little ride with the loud annoying exhaust goes fast, but wouldn't you rather ride something that's gotta rumble you can feel in your gut under the hood?

The size of the tool is important. It must fit properly with no freeplay, or in mechanical terms, no runout. It is a proven fact that a too-small tool ain't NEVER gonna do the job. In fact, for a successful outcum, anyone who tries it will need to bring in different tools. However, if the tool is too large, it can be made to fit with enough force. And a little lube. I've never heard of a tool that is too large. I have, however, heard of many tools that are too small. A quarter-inch drive ratchet isn't going to budge a lug nut, do you see what I'm saying? Let's say that a gal brings her motor to you because it needs service. Common issue. So the mechanic needs to do a little prep work. He needs to check all the nipples, repeatedly if necessary, then make sure there's enough lube. Check under the hood, make sure everything's tight, especially the rear end. Check the cooling system. It should be allowing that motor to warm up quickly. The mechanic doesn't need any tools for this phase of the work. Finally she's going fire up and let you know what areas need service. This is where you bring out your tool box. it should contain all kinds of oral tools. Then it's a matter of fine-tuning. She'll let you know if everything's running fine, then when she's purring like a kitten, it's time to bring out your big tool and work on the real issue. A lot of it is preparation. Before you know it, she'll be bringing that motor to you regularly, just to keep it running right.

I would say knowledge of having the right tool for the job is what gives the craftsman his skill.

I think Michelangelo used a BFH on his Marble when he started to create the Pieta but in the end it was the tiny one that did all the finish work. so I'd suggest a good assortment of tools to get the BEST job done.

Depends on the job at hand. You would not use a sledgehammer to put up sheetrock. Nor would you use a handsaw to chop down an adult sequoia tree. Skilled or not, use the right tool for the job.

It's not the angle of the dangle
Or the size of the ship at sea
It's the motion of the ocean,
and if you've the notion,
you must rise with the tide
and roll with the flow.

Size may matter, some what; but not more than skill, nor understanding.
They say it is hard to find a good man. I think it's the other way around..."it's good to find a hard man"...er...I didn't say that did I?
As a guy, I have to say it is hard to find a good woman, but they're out there!
Whew! That was close!!! ;-)
