A lot of the segments consist of shovelling X, with X being any one of a number of disgusting substances. Some of the segments are toolmonger worthy though...We'll try and suggest it when the "shovelling x" factor is minimal. The segment on replacing airplane wing fuel bladders was claustrophobia inducing.... A lot of shows have the hybrid factor, between having tool use and some other aspect - all the Trading Spaces/Extreme Home Makeover/While You Were Out shows do have interesting tool-centric aspects but just not enough to justify them, generally.
