Most car mechanics do not need to build their own tools for diagnostics.
Insisting on everybody building his own tools for repetitive tasks is a bit
like insisting that everybody farms his own wheat, bakes his own bread
etc. Obviously a good car mechanic can improvise when the tools are
not available, but why should anything that makes him a better (and more
efficient) car mechanic be bad ?
