Bro I feel exactly the same, I am “fairly” handy, compared to most of my friends, but compared to my parents generation it’s not even close. My dad had built extensions onto or old house with his dad, renovated houses, fixed garages, fences, bathrooms, cars etcetc,.. it’s a skill that I never managed to grasp as well and it’s due to to many distractions! I am almost 30, but millennials I feel have wayyy less “hands on” skills than ever. Some crazy times are ahead!

Also, today (and that past 15-20 years) having a trade job isn’t encouraged. It’s basically, if you fail at school you go and learn a trade. It shouldn’t be like that! Imagine if it was just as recognised as a mechanical engineering role (my career) then we would have a massive range of tradies! I would have loved to use my hands, but was told silly things at school like “you can do maths so don’t become a builder” for example... strange times!
