Ouch, that is some bad art direction indeed! And a concept that has been used several times, check this very site and you'll find numerous examples.

My problem with this ads is that the models aren't really using the wrong tools. They're using toy versions of the right ones. If the guy was digging a ditch with a screwdriver, THAT would be the wrong tool. The correct copy would be something like “Upgrade to a grownup's tool” (although that also sucks).

Effective.
Manugon, I agree with you but I like the fact that they're using a toy version. It's a little bit different thant using another "real but wrong" tool.
