    Knowing the right tool for the job, specifically when it comes to repairing the things they own. I get that familiarizing yourself with your car’s engine bay isn’t the sexiest thing to do if it doesn’t interest you, but most systems are incredibly intuitive once you know how to use a couple of basic tools. Competency in hand tools is something I think everyone should have TBH

      Yup. I am really not a car person, and I only have basic mechanical skills. But even I could troubleshoot and fix my old car. To be fair, it was a really simple car, most components were easy to access (and replace), and 90% of the bolts were 13mm.
