Description: Tool Time was the handyman show-within-a-show in Home Improvement. It was hosted by Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor (played by Tim Allen) and Al Borland (played by Richard Karn). The sponsor of Tool Time was Binford Tools, a tool manufacturing company that exists in real life. The show was said to be played on Channel 112. Tool Time was said to be the 4th most popular cable-based tool show in all of Michigan. An episode of the third season of Home Improvement, entitled "Fifth Anniversary" which aired on ABC in the United States in 1994 celebrated Tool Time's fifth anniversary, thus revealing that Tool Time debuted in 1989.

Description: When David J. Heerensperger took over the Pay 'N Pak, it was an eight-year-old, $15 million-a-year company. By the time the reins were passed to his successor 20 years later in 1989, he had grown Pay 'N Pak to a $400 million-a-year company. Instead of simply retiring, Heerensperger decided to start over. Just two months after resigning from Pay 'N Pak, he incorporated his new company, calling it Eagle Hardware & Garden, resurrecting the name of the hardware store he founded in Spokane in 1959. With a motto of "More of Everything," Eagle's stores were bigger than the competition, averaging 120k square feet. Heerensperger grew Eagle rapidly, taking the company public inside of two years, and by 1995, was a $650 million-a-year company.
Description: Hey, weekend warriors and general contractors, this dud's for you! Feel like you live at the hardware store, and loving it? A play on the French expression for seeing life through rose-coloured glasses, people like us can now let the world know we see our world through Lowe's-colored glasses. Look for a satirical shirt representing their Orange-colored competitor soon!
