Feeling like She-Ra doing this!

So I have two of those long white wired metal shelves. One is currently hanging up in what my husband refers to as the Den. It has our computer/writing desk, my sewing machine with desk, and the girls craft/writing table. Plus some other stuff to hold crafts and school supplies.
Its so cluttered and my stash of supplies keeps growing (yay) but it is getting more disorganized. So I decided its time to put the second one up and I'd like to move the first one, so it looks like one long shelf instead of two just hung up wherever on the wall ones.
My husband did the first shelf...a while ago.
I'm not having much luck with this experience! I started with using a little screw to start the hole, to then take it out and use the real long screws that came with the hang up kit. I feel like the Goldie locks and the three screws right now.
Then I decided, I might as well make this go quicker and use his electric drill. I'm not a huge fan of it.. I have at one point in the past accidentally drilled through my finger once. It wasn't a fun experience.
Now by this time.. I am bound and determined.. I AM going to get at least one shelf up!
One hour later.. many lost and stripped screws.. that shelf is up!
I feel like She-ra!
Are you good using tools? Do you prefer simple hand ones or electric tools?

I wonder how many people here know who She-Ra is without googling it lol

@Daelii yes, I was obsessed with She-Ra and Rainbow Brite as a little girl

I am very bad at using tools and now that I am on my own I will have to consider what to do with all of my husband's tools and stuff. I do know I will sell the electric saw. Congrats on getting that shelf up.

I'm pretty good at using tools. Mom wasn't and when dad left the household as the oldest kid, I took it upon myself to put things together at home
