Browse free printables →·More about FrolySkill Squad is built and run by one person in Pretoria, South Africa — every tool on this rack started as a real problem someone actually had, usually within earshot. Some are free because they should be. The paid ones are priced like tools, not platforms: a clear number in Rand, no asterisk, cancel when the job's done.
We also take on commissioned builds for businesses. Current client: Compu Tyre, a truck tyre specialist with 24/7 breakdown call-out — we built their website and are now building their breakdown service portal: fast dispatch, instant quotes, real-time tracking. If you've got a job that needs its own tool, write to hello@theskillsquad.com.
