Fixing broken "things" is the peak of my abilities. If I have to read to find out how to fix something then that's fine but otherwise I avoid it.

You sound much like my brother. He hated reading, but he can fix almost anything.
He worked at a mill work for a while, and they had an old fork lift stuck in the corner, that was never used. He asked some of the old timers why they don't use the forklift for unloading some of the large pallets of wood they get in on trucks. All they would say is it was broken. He had never touched a forklift before, but it took some tinkering and he figured out the issue, and get it running on his own time because he was tired of going home sore from lifting heavy pallets of wood. The boss was astonished as the repair place had told him it was not repairable, and they were professionals.
He fixed several old mill work machines and he still has all 10 fingers.
