Originally, actress Frances Fisher was cast as Jill Taylor. During the filming of the pilot, audiences reacted poorly, saying that she made the character of Jill whiney and desperate. She was replaced with Patricia Richardson four days before the pilot episode was taped.

While taping some episodes of Tool Time, Tim sometimes asks an unseen character, Klaus, to play music for Tool Time segments. Klaus Landsberg worked in the sound department on "Home Improvement".

Binford Tools, the company that sponsors the Tool Time show, is named after a friend of the family of one of the producers.

In one episode Wilson recalls Tim and Jill as newlyweds who had just moved in and were always fighting. However in another episode a flashback shows that they had just moved in when Randy was a baby, since Randy is the middle child they had to have been married a few years and therefore were not newlyweds.

Jason's actor, Jarrad Paul is sometimes spelled as "Jared Paul" in the credits.

In the episode, 'Karate Kid', Wilson says that he wrote the book 'The Psychophysiological Indices of Amorous Connections Among Termites of the Southwest'. In the episode 'Wilson's Girlfriend', that book was given as the title of Jill's psychology professor. However, in both episodes, it had only managed to sell 4 copies.

Al: Say, do you think they call it a nail gun because it shoots nails?

Al: I don't think so, Tim.

Tim: Excuse me a second, Al, I need to go use the John.
