> I need to pick the best tool for the job at work

the best tool isn't the best on the market but often the one currently at hand. Imagine cooking – my knives are like that. Decent but definitively not high end.

Agreed, but that only hammers home the point even more - I don't have time to mine the ore and smelt the iron and fashion the perfect knife tailored to me when I've got deadlines to hit and there's a perfectly good knife ready to be used on the wall.
Funny you mentioned hammer. I only have a hammer hanging on the wall. Im gonna use that to slice my onions. Is what my mind drifted to...
