For sure, the axiom 'Know Thyself' applies here. Regarding the earlier suggestion to 'have at it' should probably be tempered with honest assessment of your skills and inclinations. I think my greatest fear has been, among others like cross-threading, for example, dropping a wrench on fragile tubing somewhere resulting in a nasty dent.
That's just a bad experience right there...and one not so easily remedied. Scratches not so much trouble as you can touch up, but dents—yikes. Horrible.
