Passing down the confidence to fix things.
This brand was born from real life, real dads, and real “okay, now what?” moments.
Somewhere between “just Google it” and “call someone,” we stopped learning how to fix the small stuff ourselves. My First Toolbox is about bringing those skills back — not with overpriced pro gear or bargain-bin junk, but smart, dependable basics that belong in every home.
It’s not just about fixing things. It’s about showing someone they can.
Add your founder photo, a dad + kid shot, or hands-on-tools image here when you’re ready.
