You can use all the examples you want but you are still wrong.
You are confusing being incompetent with being incapacitated. I'm currently incapable of performing the task without the proper tools or time. Hence the thread title.

I'm perfectly competent, and now that the tools are on the way I know that I'll have the tasks completed before much time goes by. If I can rebuild dead 40 year old carburetors and completely strip a rusted 1942 Lincoln Continental bolt-by-bolt (which I've done) then I know I can damn well true a bicycle wheel and remove a freewheel. I can make all sorts of valid comparisons.

It's not rocket science, literally or figuratively.
