Tools 101

Unless you are raised by a handy mother, father, or guardian... it is assumed that, for subjects like "tools," you'll just "pick it up" over time. We at Nexbooks would rather give you a heads start, covering the majority of tools that a non-professional DIY type would use and keep in the home.

And in reality, by teaching tools, and how to use them, we are really teaching self-reliance, and an entirely different way of looking at things. There is power is having and using tools, and we are excited to pass that power onto our students!
