Quick Fix Champions
Quick Fix Champions drops you into the real world of blue-collar problem solving, where time is short, equipment fails without warning, and you rely on three tools to keep the day alive. Duct tape. WD forty. Zip ties. Each chapter shows how you stabilize failing gear, break through rust, restore motion, and build temporary structure when everything around you tries to slow you down. The tone is hard, grounded, and practical. Every fix buys control when failure stacks too fast.
