Wouldn't a snobbish shop only stock the high grade shop quality tools?
I am a tool snob and when I buy I only get Snap-On and Mac for general tools and bike tools I only use the Park shop grade(even at home) or Stein or the factory tools(Like Chris King hub tools or Shimano and Campy chain tools)
The only reason we carry lowend junk is because that is what the customers demands. They would rather have an $8 dollar chain tool that is a cast piece of crap than spend $30 on a Shimano chain tool that will last them the rest of their life. They hemorage over $20 for a pedal wrench, God forbid they should ever need to buy a quality tool, I've got fifteen to twenty times that in any of my torque wrenches.
