What is a tool polisher?!

[gdocktor3]

I believe as previously mentioned that at a tool polisher is someone who has no mechanical knowledge but buys top quality tools and never uses them.

A person who don't use his tools, they are just sitting in his box looking pretty. Never a use mark or dirty.

so is this post like the guy/gal that buys a brand new 1 ton dually truck with all the tow options, washes and waxes it, but never works/tows anything with it, and has a nice shiny tow ball on the back

I enjoy the old tools that I got. I like the history of 'em, I enjoy looking at 'em, but most of all I enjoy using 'em! I am always looking forward to the next project so I can put them to work. If that makes me a tool polisher than I guess I am what I am. But I don't ridicule someone for the tools that they have, their enjoyment of them or their skill set.

Ban him. Tolerance of others will not be tolerated here.

Lol!

Sir, you are the opposite of tool polisher. Old well used tools kept in a regular to rough storage to use cycle do not qualify.

I'm Polish - Does that make me a tool-POLISHer?

I was thinking the same, except along the lines of cars. We call them "waxers" which refers tot he ones who put on huge brakes or other performance mods to a car that is only purpose is for a car show. "All show, no go" is another term for "waxers".
