On a special broadcast of the show Tool Time, Tim Taylor prepares to unveil the new Binford ultra power tool line named after him, the Binford-Taylor Turbo Power Tool Line. He goes to retrieve the tools, only to discover that they are missing. A note is left in their place demanding Tim to traverse the different sets where other shows are being filmed to recover the tools. The player’s weapons include modified tools such as a nail gun, a blowtorch (used as a flamethrower), and a saw which hurls energy waves.
These weapons are used to fight dinosaurs, acid-spewing mummies, robot sentries, and other enemies. The game is broken down into four worlds of four levels, each world containing a boss level. The game had no real instruction manual, in its place, a fake manual was used with a sticker reading “Real Men Don’t Need Instructions”, a message which also appears on the splash screen.
