Black & Decker Life Saver

I’m not a very handy guy. I like to think I can tinker and fix stuff, but I’m pretty much only good for demolition and driving the last nail on a project “we” did. The same holds true for being “handy” in the garage. I can do the basics like check oil, change breaks, etc. […]
