Millennial dads and DIY skills.

From article --Many millennial dads reported not owning a cordless drill (46%), a stepladder (49%), a set of screwdrivers (38%) or even a hammer (32 percent) — an item owned by 93% of boomer dads.

Who the hell is keeping Lowes and Home Depot in Business? All the handy men and pros?

This makes me feel sad for every one of these guys little boys and girls.

I own all of those items. I still don’t identify with the “millennial” label despite them claiming it includes folks born in the ‘80s. I’m guessing they asked some 20-something dads who live in apartments.

This is why I have two of everything. My tools, and my loaner tools.

I will never forget the first time I saw one of these signs at my buddies house. It was on his bothers tool box.

I still remember the first time I walked into a snap on truck. I heard angels sing and then before I new it I was broke. I will loan tools to very specific people. I may ask for your drivers license and a credit card though.

My dad said he might loan his tools, but only on the condition that he went with them.

I have two battery powered circular saws. I remember buying one. I have no idea where the other one came from.
