Crump: Mechanically Challenged

I am the least handy husband in Idaho, and my wife has noticed that other guys in our neighborhood are becoming all thumbs too. The fella down the street had an inflatable Santa in his front yard. But he pumped in too much air on Christmas Eve and it burst. A woman who lives nearby had her carpet and subflooring ruined because her 18-year-old son didn’t know how to cut off the water to the washing machine when the hose broke. The dude across the street set his deck on fire when his refrigerator-turned-fish smoker overheated. This is an ominous trend/ Steve Crump , Twin Falls Times-News. More here .

Question (for the guys): Are you handy with tools? Or mechanically challenged?
