As a diy-er Always found it funny how YouTubers always have the most pristine tools while professionals will have the dingiest, sketchiest tools. Granted, YouTubers are representing their craft but the two (professional and YouTuber) are very distinct from each other.

It's ok to have tools that look like they've gone through hell and back, because that's the only way you know they have.

There's a joke in the climbing community, "never trust a person with shiny gear", and I think it might well apply to DIY as well

This is why I was so hesitant to buy new climbing shoes, even though mine were completely falling apart. I didn't want to go back to being seen as a newb when not on the wall.

Aww, I'm sure nobody would actually look down on new shoes; it's not like they don't wear and you can only resole them a few times before they're better off being retired. Plus anybody who actually gets judgy is an asshole anyhow

Yeah nobody actually cared except me. Those shoes represented so much progress that I was sad to let them go. The new shoes were better though. More aggressive, and helped me stick better footholds.
