While this does happen, more prevalent in my experience is the notion of "I don't want to learn how to use EVERYTHING, just X tool/instrument/software/etc."
I am guilty of this at times, a lot of my weirder mods and projects make use of esoteric tools, and I sometimes skip the starter tools/equipment in favor of skipping to the one I need for the job at hand. That said, I usually end up wishing I had taken the time to master the tool first. (Fortunately, the kind of work I do this for actually benefits from a little rough handling) Right now, I'm having a hard time fighting this urge when I want to pick up a laser cutter or CNC router, because they're expensive as hell, and if I can start with the tool I need, I can save thousands on the ones to train for the one I need.

Corded tool.
Corded tool.
Cordless tool.
I wish I could do that with tools when the cord becomes too bothersome... to draw.
Thrudd:
Well Dremels do come in a cordless version - I have one - no guts but great for light duty and or impossible to reach places.
At least she is wearing the face sheild and with the dremel grinder bit she will at worst get some nasty abrasions but no loss of digits.
OldGoat:
Faye wants to make a point about the right tool. "Not working very well, is it? Okay, now try using this." She may also be more interested in teaching Sam the characteristics of the metal she's working rather than the tool she's working it with.
