Haroon Hassan

Lead DIY, Home, Garden & Backyard Technical Expert.I’m Haroon Hassan, and I’ve spent over a decade tearing things apart just to see if I could put them back together better than the manufacturer did. I don’t believe in "good enough," and I definitely don’t believe in overpaying contractors who do half-hearted work. My garage is my lab, and my backyard is a perpetual construction zone.My Experience and Grit I get why this is confusing. Most people were taught this wrong—they think you need a specialized degree or twenty different expensive power tools to fix a drywall crack or build a sturdy deck. That’s a lie sold by big hardware stores. I started out fixing my own house because I was tired of people charging me a fortune for basic repairs.Since then, I’ve handled everything from structural beam reinforcements to the specific torque settings needed for delicate engine repairs. If it’s made of wood, metal, or stone, I’ve probably worked on it. I’m the guy who stays up until 2 AM because a faucet is still dripping and I refuse to let a piece of brass win an argument with me.Why I Write for Home Tool Creatives I help run Home Tool Creatives because I hate seeing people get scammed by bad advice. I focus on the technical side of home repair. I’m also the logic behind our Concrete Calculator. I built it because I was tired of having three extra bags of cement sitting in my shed or, worse, running out when the sun was going down.When I’m not writing or fixing something, I’m likely testing the latest power tools to see if they’re actually worth your money or just cheap plastic junk.
