You finally have a place of your own. Now what happens when something breaks?

This class is for anyone who’s ever stood in a hardware store feeling clueless — or worse, bought a 172-piece tool set that still didn’t have what they actually needed.

In this hands-on mini class, you’ll get familiar with the essential tools every homeowner should own — no fluff, no gimmicks. We’ll show you what works, when to use it, and how to avoid wasting money on junk you don’t need.

You’ll handle and learn about:

• Cordless drill and driver (and when not to use it)

• Screwdrivers (flat, Phillips, hex — and when to use each)

• Stud finder, level, and tape measure (so you can finally hang pictures straight)

• Pliers, adjustable wrench, and utility knife (the unsung heroes of quick fixes)

• Wire strippers and outlet tester (for when you’re ready to change a switch or outlet down the road)

We won’t be replacing, fixing or wiring anything in this class, but we’ll show you what tools you’ll need when you are — and how to walk into your local big box home improvement story with confidence and a no-nonsense shopping list.
