Handy Manny is a CGI series that ran from 2006 to 2013. It originally aired on the Disney Channel's Playhouse Disney block and was carried over when the block was rebranded as Disney Junior. It is also now being aired on the 24/7 Disney Junior network and is available on Disney+. It is described by many to be Bob the Builder meets Dora the Explorer.The show stars Manuel "Manny" Garcia, a Hispanic handyman living in the fictional town of Sheet Rock Hills. He's aided in his repairs by his team of talking tools: Dusty the saw, Pat the hammer, Felipe the Phillips head screwdriver, Turner the slotted screwdriver, Rusty the pipe monkey wrench, Stretch the tape measure, Squeeze the pliers, and recent addition Flicker the flashlight. The rest of Sheet Rock Hills is filled out by an ever-growing list of inhabitants, both friends and return customers of Manny's, and several one-off customers appearing in a single given episode.The show also has a spin-off, Handy Manny's School for Tools. | |

Tempting Fate: Done Once per Episode with Mr. Lopart. He refuses Manny's help, claiming he can do it himself, only to mess up. Exaggerated in "Have a Handy New Year" when his refusal for help ends up breaking the ball that is to be used for the party that night. | |

Limited Wardrobe: With perhaps a handful of exceptions, all the characters outfits remain the same. Manny has never been seen without his hat on. Even in situations in which he changes his hat for a helmet, it happens off screen. Manny was seen without his hat in the wedding episode. Kelly always has her fanny pack on, even when she's away from the store. | |

Debating Names | |
| Handy Manny / int_2c576b5 | comment |
Debating Names: In "Julieta's Dog", Manny has gotten a new robot dog and the tools wonder what to name her. Pat suggests "Barky", which Turner rejects because it's too noisy. Rusty thinks of "Slugger", but Stretch rejects because "she's a dog, not a baseball player." Then Philippe suggests naming the dog after him because he's happy to share his name. Then when Manny tells the tools whenever there's a problem that they can fix it, the tools are inspired and agree to name the dog "Fixit". | |

However, the Wedding Episode reveals his name to be "Manuel Estevez Garcia" (A name he passed down to his son, then to Manny). | |

Catchphrase | |
| Handy Manny / int_b01abe4f | comment |
Catchphrase: Several, including: "You break it, we fix it" - the motto of the repair shop, said solely by Manny during calls made to him in the first season, then split between him and the tools in all later episodes. "I'm a hammer" - Pat's explanation for absolutely everything. "We Loparts..." - The way Mr. Lopart begins nearly any explanation of why he doesn't need Manny's help. ("We Loparts are experts at electronics, you know") It's almost always false. | |

Height Angst: Squeeze has this issue in "Tight Squeeze", as she voices her displeasure at not being able to do big repairs that only Rusty can handle. When repairing Mrs. Lee's washing machine and Rusty cannot fit behind it to retrieve a misplaced washer, both Squeeze's shortness, combined with Mrs. Lee's son Nelson, is able to easily reach behind the washing machine, grab the washer, and pull it out. | |
