Learn new skills and get comfortable using tools with our friends at Dykes with Drills!

Whether you’re moving into a new house, taking on your own home repairs, or finally starting that DIY project, you need tools – and lots of them!

If the idea of putting together a toolbox or using a power saw has you feeling too intimidated, then join us for a Tools 101 Workshop at ReStore Oakland on Saturday, June 13^th! 

We’re excited to bring this “how to” workshop with the partnership from our friends at Dykes with Drills. In this two-hour workshop, a skilled Dykes with Drills instructor is perfect for DIY beginners. We'll teach you everything you need to know to feel comfortable using power tools like miter saws, jig saws, drills, and more. 

With hands-on practice and plenty of opportunities for Q&A, you’ll walk away with a newfound sense of confidence and the skills to put your tools to work!
