Hi, my name is PJ. I run this website, the YouTube channel, and our growing social media community.

Struggleville was born out of a simple reality: Tools are expensive, but necessary. I have always done my own repairs on my cars and my home, often out of necessity. When you are working on a shoe-string budget, you learn very quickly how to stretch a dollar.

My philosophy is simple: Contrary to what you may think, you don’t have to sell a kidney on the black market to afford quality tools.

Every single day, I scour the internet—checking Amazon promo codes, digging through Home Depot clearance sections, and monitoring price glitches—to bring you deals from the companies you love at prices you can actually afford. My goal is to help you spend less time worrying about the cost of your next project and more time putting your tools to work.
