It’s honestly such a weird show. The “hero” is an incompetent jerk who constantly screws up and relentlessly bullies his most loyal friend who is vastly more competent in every way.
At least they gradually tone down the bullying as time goes on and the teasing on Tool Time becomes more of a two way street.

It’s hilarious how much this was based on Bob Vila and Norm Abram from This Old House - although the contrast between Vila and Abram was much more severe.
I get that. But usually the hero is someone who underestimates their own ability and learns to overcome challenges by believing in themselves. Here we have the opposite, which seems more fitting for a villain.
Without a hint of irony, one of the best male role models in history.

Watching a perfect person wouldn’t be super interesting long term.
Watching a imperfect person struggle in situations when you know how to fix it… engagement forever!
