Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a containment chamber with a width and length of 8m(26ft) and a height of 14m(46ft). Proper bedding and bathroom facilities are to be maintained and at least one guard is to guard the containment chamber at all times. Any items that SCP-XXXX requests must be approved by Senior researcher Lily Finley before being provided. Any machinery that SCP-XXXX requests outside of regular procedure must be approved by head researcher Lily Finley before being provided See Incident-XXXX-A. Under no circumstances is machinery of any kind to be provided to SCP-XXXX outside of testing, any testing using machinery must be approved by an O5 council member. The containment chamber lights are to be kept secured out of reach of SCP-XXXX at all times. If SCP-XXXX is seen attempting to access the lights security is to immediately respond and sedate them.

No methods of electronic communication of any kind are to be allowed in the same room as SCP-XXXX or within rooms observing it. Mobile Task Force Epsilon-6 ("Village Idiots") is to track the appearance of SCP-XXXX-1 instances and respond immediately upon appearance, destroying instances and administering amnestics to civilian observers. In the case that SCP-XXXX breaches containment, Epsilon-6 is to immediately lock down all known instances of SCP-XXXX-1 and recontain SCP-XXXX.

Every month a piece of machinery selected from a list verified by the site director is to be provided to SCP-XXXX as a reward for good behaviour. During this period at least 3 guards are to be on standby. Once SCP-XXXX is done the machine is to be either destroyed or taken for study.

Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be a Caucasian male in their late 20s going under the name of "Jim Johnson". They appear to be wearing a white shirt with blue overalls. These clothes do not experience damage and clean themselves over a 24 hours period. SCP-XXXX has the anomalous ability to create a range of different tools commonly found in hardware stores. These tools can range from simple items such as wrenches and screwdrivers to sledgehammers and blowtorches. SCP-XXXX appears to take interest in doing a variety of different activities done by that of a typical handyman. For example, it installs furniture, paints walls and repairs machinery. When SCP-XXXX partakes in these activities, the result will always have an anomalous effect of some kind1. SCP-XXXX appears to also have anomalous strength and durability, being able to endure extreme temperatures and high-velocity impacts.

SCP-XXXX-1 are a range of advertisements for "Jim Johnson's handyman service". These can range from posters stuck to walls to being found on large billboards. People who see these advertisements will feel a desire to get up and fully read through the advertisement, this effect does not take place if the target is under stress or otherwise wouldn't have time to go up and read it. When somebody reads one of these advertisements they will become an SCP-XXXX-2 instance. Knowledge about buildings SCP-XXXX-2 instances are closely associated with and problems those buildings have become known to SCP-XXXX. If SCP-XXXX can obtain access to a device that can call an SCP-XXXX-2 instance, they will disappear for one hour. During that period an SCP-XXXX-2 instance will receive a call from SCP-XXXX who will offer their services to the subject. SCP-XXXX-2 instances will always accept these calls. Any attempts to stop them from accepting have so far failed. After the call is concluded SCP-XXXX will manifest at the building they offered the help at and begin working on any problems the building has.

Discovery Log: Reports of a handyman who had caused intense damage to several houses had been circulating on local web forums at ██████. These incidents were looked into due to traces of anomalous properties found in houses the handyman had worked on, however insufficient data was collected to assign SCP status. On ██/█/████ the sound of a doorbell was heard ringing through the entirety of Site-22. Security cameras showed a man with a white shirt and blue overalls who matched the description of this anomalous handyman standing right outside the site. Security immediately responded, restraining and capturing the man. Below is the interview taken after the SCP was captured.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: Senior Researcher Lily Finley

Foreword: Taken after the SCP had been properly restrained and captured.

<Begin Log>

Dr. Lily Finley: Hello SCP-XXXX, w-

SCP-XXXX: Oh please. Call me Jim.

Dr. Lily Finley: I’m afraid I can’t, now we just want to a-

SCP-XXXX: Is this cause I came late?

(A brief pause is made)

Dr. Lily Finley: What do you mean late?

SCP-XXXX: Well mate, I gave that Samuel fella a call earlier and he said this place needed some fixing up so I said I’d come at nine. I see what he means, this chair is all wonky, this table is all dirty, and this light is not high quality enough. Love, it’s like your place as begging me to come along. Sorry about me being late, it was just the last job took a long time and I wanted to grab a bite, so I stopped by a nearby food truck and grabbed a bap and a cup of joe.

Dr. Lily Finley: So you’re saying Samuel called you and told you the location of this place?

SCP-XXXX: Oh please mate, he had no need to tell me, I already knew from the moment he said he wanted me to come along. Now where do you want me to start?

Dr. Lily Finley: It says here that someone had hired you to fix their radiator at their house. Does the name ███████ remind you of anyone?

SCP-XXXX: Oh that old chap. Yeah his radiator was busted, came down to his place and got to work, kept his house warm all winter.

Dr. Lily Finley: It also says the heat from the radiator increased so much it set the house on fire.

SCP-XXXX: Well I wasn’t wrong was I pal? Kept that house all warmed up, I take my work very simply. Speaking of business, what are you thinking payment wise?

Dr. Lily Finley: We’re not doing business, now about your traits. How did you make the radiator increase to that temperature?

SCP-XXXX: Oh so you’re not here for business, you’re here to try and take my secret technique. Sorry darling, but I got more important matters to attend to.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: After the end of this interview SCP-XXXX manifested various amount of tools which it used to break out of it’s restraints. Using a wrench it knocked down Dr. Lily before taking her phone and promptly de-manifesting. Junior Researcher, Dr. Samuel was taken in by site security in which the anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX-1 were to discovered. Using this information MTF Epsilon-6(“Village Idiots”) predicted where SCP-XXXX would manifest next and captured it when it did.

Test logs:

Notable requests: The list below details several notable requests SCP-XXXX has made. All requests were sent immediately to head researcher Lily Finley before being approved or denied.

Incident-XXXX-A: On 18/12/████ the following test idea was conducted by Junior researcher Samuel. SCP-XXXX was provided with an uninstalled light switch to interact with under the theory that it may allow SCP-XXXX to control the lights in its containment chamber, in which if that was true the light switch would soon be confiscated.


Video footage showed that upon SCP-XXXX installing and flipping the switch, multiple containment chamber doors including its own opened along with several power failures. The following is video footage recovered from after the chamber doors were opened.

SCP-XXXX continued out of the chamber. Killing several other foundation personnel using various other tools and searching their bodies for a phone. This killing continues before SCP-XXXX killed “Joshua Carpet” a janitor who usually remains a fair bit away from SCP-XXXX’s chamber due to always keeping a flip phone on them. SCP-XXXX de-manifests upon finding the phone. Mobile Task Force Epsilon-11(“Nine Tailed Fox”) was deployed in order to combat the mass containment breach. Upon arriving it took almost 4 hours to successfully regain control over the site, in which SCP-XXXX had been interacting with several people affected by SCP-XXXX-A.

There was found to be a total of 68 casualties caused by SCP-XXXX alone during this incident, 16 of those being foundation personnel. There were an additional 113 deaths caused by the mass containment breach that SCP-XXXX started. Any further testing using machinery is to be denied and can only be overruled by a majority of the O5 council voting for it. Due to the breach itself mainly being due to negligence of proper safety, reclassification of SCP-XXXX to keter has been denied.
