It's a poor (as in, "not wealthy") craftsperson that blames their tools.
They can't afford good tools, so when said tools break or fail in the process of creating something, of course they're going to blame them! &;)
Or you could look at it another way. A mark of a bad craftsperson is sloppiness. Thus, they neglect taking proper care of their tools. The tools break, and they blame the tools instead of themselves.
Even if the tools were actually flawed or at fault, shouldn't a good craftsperson detect that and not buy them in the first place?
Depends on how you look at it
