What's "the word I'm thinking of"? Today, it's....
habile [HAB-ihl] (adjective)
Generally able or adroit; handy
Professor Allenby fixed the roof himself, and thought he'd proved "habile" with a hammer and nails. Then the first rains came.

Nice word, but I don't think I'd trust a handyman who said he was "habile with a hammer".
