Everytime I look up how to fix anything I am bombarded by 800 repair kits that are all either "basic tools except they're not called speciality repair tools" or "glue or epoxy with plastic crap thrown in the mix"

Like I know how to navigate this now because I have actual people who're good at this stuff I can ask but jesus christ how do you navigate this on your own. This sucks ass. Why is there 40 chemically identical woodglues at the hardware store
