'''Tool In A China Shop'''
Manny receives a call from Mr. Kumar, the owner of a local china shop, about some shelves that are in danger of falling and shattering his fragile china. Unfortunately, the repair seems like it mostly requires Pat, who is ''also'' in danger of falling and shattering the fragile china, unless he can somehow learn to overcome his clumsiness and hammer carefully and precisely.
!! "Tool In A China Shop" provides examples of:
* AesopAmnesia: PlayedForLaughs, as Pat learning not to be clumsy doesn't even last until the end of the episode.
-->'''Squeeze''': And Pat's not clumsy anymore!
-->'''Pat''' ''(hopping up on the edge of the toolbox)'': Yeah, that's right.\\
//Pat immediately slips and falls off the toolbox.//
* ArtisticLicenseChess: When Manny and the tools happen across Abuleito playing chess, his board is in a position that, while technically not impossible, is rather improbable. Oh, and he's also somehow playing the entire game himself, without an opponent.
* AsianStoreOwner: Mr. Kumar is (presumably) Indian and owns a china store.
* CactusCushion: Pat falls on a cactus after a desk lamp he bumped into swings around and knocks him off of the worktable. Fortunately for Pat, the spines are unable to stick in him because
-->'''Pat''': I'm a hammer.
* EverybodyLaughsEnding: The episode ends on the tools laughing while having fun playing checkers.
* FaintInShock: Mr. Kumar does this when, after a very stressful wall-plug insertion is successfully completed, Manny announces that they still have seven more wall anchors left to do.
* LiteralMinded: When learning to play checkers at the end of the episode, Pat interprets Turner's instruction to jump over a piece as meaning he should jump on the board. Turner is not amused.
* InstantlyProvenWrong:
-->'''Squeeze''': And Pat's not clumsy anymore!
-->'''Pat''' ''(hopping up on the edge of the toolbox)'': Yeah, that's right.\\
//Pat immediately slips and falls off the toolbox.//
* PunBasedTitle: On the concept of a "bull in a china shop"- Pat has to learn not to act like one when the tools visit a literal, actual china shop.
* ShoutOut: Possibly unintentional, but a scene of Abuelito sitting by a chessboard with a game apparently in progress but no opponent in sight may bring to mind ''WesternAnimation/GerisGame''.

'''Welcome To Sheet Rock Hills'''
Manny would love to have a flashy new pair of work gloves he saw in Kelly's catalog, but unfortunately they're just too expensive to buy. Squeeze has the idea to collect loose coins in hopes of reaching the amount required, and when Manny and the tools are called to fix a malfunctioning stoplight she takes her search with her- and, after chasing a coin, ends up stuck in the sewers!
!! Tropes in "Welcome To Sheet Rock Hills" include:
* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: Subverted. While the sewers of Sheet Rock Hills seem titanic from Squeeze's perspective, that's only because she's a tiny pair of pliers- the sewer pipes are actually fairly realistically sized.
* BigHonkingTrafficJam: Most of Sheet Rock Hills ends up being stuck in one due to a broken traffic light, although this ''somehow'' doesn't prevent Manny from driving his truck to the source of the problem.
* ChainOfPeople: The tools form one to fish Squeeze out of the sewers. Not having hands, they have to employ various... ''creative'' methods (and some InvisibleAnatomy) to hold on to each other, but the chain approach does end up working.
* EtherealChoir: One can be heard whenever the hardware catalog's picture of the amazing-but-prohibitively-expensive work gloves Manny is enamored with is shown. And then heard again at the end of the episode, when we finally get to see the actual work gloves.
* FailedASpotCheck: Somehow, the rest of Manny's tools failed to notice Squeeze jumping through a sewer grate (ItMakesSenseInContext) no more than two feet from where they were.
* FictionalDocument: Kelly's hardware catalog, which contains an entry for some amazing work gloves that Manny would love but which are too expensive for him to buy. Squeeze gets it into her head that she can collect loose coins from around the town to help Manny buy it, and then HilarityEnsues.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: A pair of high-quality, expensive work gloves are practically treated like [[Myth/KingArthurAndTheHolyGrail the Holy Grail]], with an EtherealChoir sounding and divine rays of light shining whenever their picture in the hardware catalog is shown.
* NotNowWereTooBusyCryingOverYou: This happens when Squeeze gets stuck in the sewers, and Manny's other tools believe she's gone for good.
-->'''Felipe''': Oh, she was such a nice pair of pliers...\\
'''Dusty''': And she had such a pretty voice... \\
'''Squeeze's''' ''(muffled)'': I'm down here!\\
'''Dusty''': It sounded just like that...
* RunningGag: The picture of the work gloves Manny really wants being accompanied by an EtherealChoir and celestial rays of light whenever it appears. This gag also ends up applying to the real work gloves, when Mayor Rosa gives a pair of them to Manny.
* SnapBack: At the end of the episode, Manny is given a pair of the expensive new work gloves he'd been longing to have for most of the episode by Mayor Rosa. He says that he'll love them and can't wait to use them... and then in the next episode he's still wearing his normal gloves, without explanation.
* TooDumbToLive: Squeeze, in search of spare coins to help Manny buy new work gloves (ItMakesSenseInContext), decides for some inexplicable reason that it's a good idea to jump through a sewer grate to reach a coin that had fallen into the sewers, and promptly gets herself stuck down there.
