I use the right tool for the job, if I have it. If I don't have it, and it's not urgent, and I can afford it, I'll get the tool. If I don't have it, and I've got no cash, or it has to be done now, I'll do it by whatever method I can. I've tightened wheelbolts with a pair of slip-joint pliers - it wasn't ideal, but I needed to ride the bike, like now, so it had to be done. Make do and mend is alright by me.
