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.

The clue is in the header - Choose the right tool
Hey asshole, is THAT supposed to be English? Go back to grade school, you illiterate prick.
Hé "commentateur-invité-pas-vérifié", le monde ne parle pas non plus l'anglais… est-ce que tu peux l'accepter ?

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).
u r are right man, that copy "screwed" the whole ad
I would like a side of metal with my pancakes, please.

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.
I'm so tired to see ideas used and re-used....and this is Saatchi&Saatchi.(guys look after your creative people)
Boooooring!
