Also please consider paying more, if you are able, to help cover the costs of hosting this class and others like it. ------ A few notes about our updated pricing: Each vehicle requires a different quantity and grade of oil as well as different costs for filters and other hardware which makes standardized class pricing difficult. -For example: a Toyota Highlander requires almost double the oil quantity as a smaller Honda Fit. Additionally, some oil grades such as 0w-16 are more expensive than other fully synthetic grades, which are all more expensive than conventional motor oils. WPTL's aims to provide affordable class programming to everyone in the community, including this class. The cost of oil has increased by 20% in 2026 alone. Since we are only a tool library, we do not receive any discounts or volume-based pricing agreements that would help reduce our costs.

Well, it applies to a very common household DIY project - how to properly mount an object like a TV, projector, or coat rack that must be hung properly to avoid injury. We also don't have a huge stock of heavy backlit wall mounted mirrors, so we will cut a mirror-shaped template out of plywood to mimic it.

We will use the following tools during this class: Miter saw Pocket hole jig Laser level/bubble level Drill/impact driver Rotary hammer drill with SDS Plus bits Circular Saw Jig Saw Stud Finder Inspection Camera Different measuring tools You will also get experience working with: Drywall Dimensional lumber Plywood Drywall Anchors Tapcon Concrete Anchors Different blades for different saws above This is a hands-on class - so get ready to get your hands dirty and try out some basic tools and skills at the West Philly Tool Library!
