How to expand tools panel??

I recently upgraded to Premiere Pro CC2017, and I'm growing increasingly frustrated by the condensed tools panel with the missing/hidden buttons.

I want to expand the tools panel so that I don't have to use keyboard shortcuts or click and hold to switch tools. I noticed that a lynda course instructor was using the CC2017 version with an expanded tool bar:

Please help! I can't find this anywhere in the preferences or panel settings!

Hi BHiser,

I am sorry but you cannot expand the tools panel. (This is how it has been designed.)

The tools panel has been redesigned in the latest version of CC2017. I am sure that you are following a tutorial from a previous version of CC2017.

Please share your valuable feedback here.

Lets add some steps  and hoops for the editors to work with,  ...dumb and pointless by design!

    More signs that adobe is being run by idiots. This is a seriously idiotic design change. Why don't these idiots give editors the options of using t hings the way they are used to. The new crappy version of the tool panel could easily been an option in the preference. I just lost an hour trying to figure out where the freaking ripple edit tool went when I tried a project in 2k18 because it the features I needed to use were too buggy in earlier versions.
