E-waste is a global epidemic. Over 118 billion pounds of e-waste are produced each year, much of which isn't even broken. Repair reduces the e-waste problem, allows you to circumvent warranties and repair fees, extends the lifetime of devices, creates jobs, and, most importantly, it’s fun!
Never be scared again by expensive phone screen replacements, or annoying laptop fix-ups. Even silly blunders from everyday life, from drink spills on your keyboard to overly dusty laptops, can now be solved simply with a toolbox at your hands. Learning to repair allows you to build the skills for better taking on whatever life throws at you.
