Who this class is for:
Hammerstone courses are open to all women and gender minorities. Hammerstone welcomes all trans folks including trans men. This course welcomes folks of all skill levels with no prerequisite.

Description:
Whether tackling construction projects, or just doing some handy work around the house, a battery-powered drill is a necessary tool. But what about its cousin, the impact driver? In this class we cover the difference between these two tools which are fundamentally almost the same, and yet the drill excels at cutting holes, while the impact driver is great at driving screws. Learn why there’s a difference!

In this class, we also discuss different body mechanics that can make the difference between a frustrating afternoon with a power tool, and a productive day! Join us to learn how to make the most of these ubiquitous and super handy tools.

HOW TO CHOOSE A PAYMENT >

  • I consider myself middle income/wealth. Paying this price may be a sacrifice, but I can find the resources to do so. This is the full cost of running a course including paying our teachers a fair wage, covering insurance, maintaining tools and facilities, managing administration, and supporting our family.

  • I consider myself low-income/low-wealth. I cannot access this course without financial help.

  • I consider myself low-middle income/wealth. Paying full price for this course presents somewhat of a financial hardship.

  • I consider myself upper-middle income/wealth. I would like to make a donation on top of the full price of the course in order to help subsidize access for those who cannot pay the full tuition.

  • I have the resources to make a substantial donation to ensure that these classes remain accessible to people of all income/wealth levels.
