UPD sold the magazine to Webb Publishing in 1977 to pay down debts that would ultimately finish off the company.

Robert Maxwell acquired Webb in 1987, and sold the magazine to the Reader's Digest Association that year.

Both magazine and web content provides resources for do-it-yourself homeowners, including how-to instructions for improving homes, yards and vehicles.

Professional handymen and amateur DIYers can find both new and archived magazine content on The Family Handyman website, which focuses on how-to articles, woodworking project plans, home repairs, bathroom remodeling, kitchen remodeling, do it yourself (DIY) tutorials, and lawn care.

The magazine also maintains a digital presence on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, and in free, weekly email newsletters.
