I know Manny is the star of the show, but really, what’s his purpose? His tools are all alive and do all the work for him. He never has anything to finish the job. He always has to find Kelly- who DOES have everything he needs no matter how obscure. Of course, could Kelly’s business model possibly survive without Manny? I wonder if she cuts him sweet deals on stuff.
Come to think of it, I don’t recall ever seeing money exchanged. Could there be something else going on? How does Manny payoff his debts to Kelly? For that matter, has Manny ever charged any of his customers for his services? I haven’t seen it. How does anyone live in this world?
Is there any point to Mr. Lopar? Other than being a tool?
So, we have a show with talking tools that do all the work, a hardware store run by a woman who has everything the handyman needs, a handyman who never actually touches his tools, and no money ever exchanges hands. And Mr. Lopar with his cat, who clearly hates his owner.
What exactly are we supposed to learn from this show?

One potential solution could be happening behind the scenes when Manny pays of his debt…don’t assume what “Handy” is referring to in relation to his skill set.
After all, even women who own hardware stores have needs.
Yesssss….
That’s what the rubber gloves he puts on must be about…
Of course, it could REALLY be a model for the federal government and/or certain elected officials ….
