My new job is the first I've had which required me to have my own tools.

Well, since I really don't have bills or debt, I am in a good position to indulge my tool fettish. I've got a 72" stainless steel rolling cabinet with wood top (it's actually a kitchen box but it's bloody lovely) to hold the bulk of it. I just ordered a matching stainless mini box to replace the little roller from Northern Tools which isn't quite big enough.
I've picked up a lot of stuff I've always wanted: a drill index with fractional, letter and wire sizes in titanium nitride, a HUGE metric tungsten tap and die set, standard set, lots of gearwrench stuff (an AWESOME ratcheting tap handle set) etc etc etc and today, new in box, for a mere C note, a hydraulic hole knock out set.

I am literally setting the standard at the plant, and some of the guys are actually being inspired to up their game, getting more / better tools. I am quite aware that a cheap tool can get the job done, but it is rather distressing to see professional maintenance using crapsman and husky.

Funny thing is, I see a lot of shoddy, sub standard work around the plant. It makes me wonder if one can truly judge a mechanic by his tools.

Do better wrenches buy better tools? Do better tools make a better wrench?
