Leverage beats effort every time.

Use the right tool for the job.

The best multi-function tools are great to have in a pinch and tend to be very portable, but are going to be barely adequate for the tasks they are supposed to cover. Tools designed for the specific purpose at hand will always do the job better.

Lol I like the leverage one. Reminded me of a loosely related story.

I broke the handle off on a shovel trying to get a stump out, pretty much bouncing on the end of it until it snapped and I face planted into dirt. Dad came out, saw I was covered in muck and all he said was “Only idiots break shovels. And I’ve broken quite a few”

But certainly better than a master of one.
