A nervous monkey wrench.
* AesopAmnesia: There have been a fair few times where he learned to face his fears or gained more confidence, only to go back to his normal scaredy-cat behavior in the very next episode.
* CowardlyLion: He's very nervous and anxious, but in a few episodes (notably, "Rusty To The Rescue") he's managed to overcome his fears in order to save the day.
* FearOfThunder: Is revealed to have this "Rusty's Second Wind". He gets over it in the same episode with the help of Dusty.
* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkL_V5jvago "Rusty The Wrench"]], from the official ''Handy Manny'' soundtrack.
* LovableCoward: Cowardice is his main character trait, but he's still devoted to helping Manny and the other tools.
* MagicFeather: In "Fearless Rusty", Magic Marty casts a spell on Rusty to make him brave. Surprise surprise, it turns out that Magic Marty never did any actual magic and Rusty had the capability to be brave inside him all along.

!!Squeeze
[[quoteright:310:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2024_03_15_5.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NikaFutterman
A cheerful and childish pair of pliers.
* CheerfulChild: Very happy and cheerful.
* HeightAngst: Spends most of "Tight Squeeze" bemoaning being the smallest of Manny's tools, until the problem of the episode (a rubber ring needed to attach the washing machine's hose slipping down in a crevice where no one else can reach it) makes her realize that her small size can actually be a useful asset.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Has long eyelashes to mark her as female.

!!Stretch
[[quoteright:346:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2024_03_15_6.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NikaFutterman
An intelligent tape measure.
* EncyclopaedicKnowledge: Stretch knows just about everything.
* GoodWithNumbers: Is supposedly really good at math; however, as ''Handy Manny'' is a PreschoolShow, the only math he actually gets to ''do'' is just counting.
* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1ac-ugMkGM "Made To Measure"]], from the show's official soundtrack.
* MultipurposeTongue: His "tongue" is actually his measuring tape, and he uses it both to take measurements and as an "arm" of sorts to hold and manipulate objects.
* OverlyLongTongue: His measuring tape functions as a tongue (among other things), and can extend to an unspecified but very great length. (Judging by how long real tape measures can get, his tape should have a maximum reach of twenty to thirty feet.)
* TheSmartGuy: The most knowledgeable and mathematically capable of Manny's tools.
* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Is able to speak even while his tape (which normally serves as his tongue) is extended.

!!Turner
[[quoteright:309:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2024_03_15_7.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DeeBradleyBaker
A grumpy slotted screwdriver who has a rivalry with Felipe.
* AesopAmnesia: No matter how many times he learns to get along with Felipe, he's always back to fighting with him by the very next episode.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: At the end of "Valentine's Day Party."
* DeadpanSnarker: In spades. Take this scene from "Wonder Tool" (for context, the titular device is a rather bizarre-looking multitool):
-->'''Wonder Tool Salesman''': You want to know [=WHY=] it's called the Wonder Tool?
-->'''Turner''': Because you wonder ''what it is''.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's rather cynical and quick to point out faults, but ultimately means well. Oh, and he actually loves cute animals (except when other people are around), and shed a few tears (while vehemently denying that he was crying) during the death scene in the play from "Handy Manny And The Seven Tools".
* LuminescentBlush: This was his reaction when Leela kissed him in "Tools For Toys". (Never mind [[ThroughAFaceFullOfFur how a screwdriver would blush...]])
* OnlySaneMan: Considers himself to be this, and while he's not ''quite'' exempt from the wackiness that the tools demonstrate, this presumption is still right more often than it is wrong.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Tuna and Blue Cheese sandwich.

He is very clumsy this in spades.
* FantasticLightSource: Flicker is not just used for Manny when it's dark, [[http://images.wikia.com/handymanny/images/9/90/Flicker_as_the_Spotlight.png he was also used as a spotlight once too.]]
* LanguageBarrier: Starts off only being able
to the speak Spanish, and while he does eventually pick up English his initial inability to understand or be understood by anyone except for Manny or Felipe is still a major point where it of his character for quite a while following his introduction.
* MeaningfulName: He's a flashlight named after [[TenSecondFlashlight something that fictional flashlights have a tendency to do.]]

* VagueAge: Despite what CowboyBebopAtHisComputer may tell you, the tools’ ages aren’t known. The only concrete information we have about them is that Flicker is very young, and Stretch was ''probably'' the youngest member of the team before Flicker joined.
