[edit] Character Bio
Handy is an orange beaver with unexplained amputated arms. The stumps are covered with bandages. He wears a tool belt and a yellow worker's helmet (the typical dress of most construction workers). He's also one of the adult characters. His dam mostly consists of tools that are operated by hand.
Despite his lack of hands, he is still capable of building many things big or small, though we never actually see him build it in the first place - it is usually off-screen (with the exception of Wheelin' and Dealin', where he is seen putting the final touches on his race car). Usually, whenever he builds something for the female characters, they are very pleased and often thank him by hugging him for it, like Petunia from House Warming and Giggles from Home is Where the Hurt is. This has led some fans to believe that he has a crush on them.
However, whenever we see him try to do something, which would usually require hands, he fails and pulls his main trademark frustration look, indicating that he forgot that he didn't have hands. Usually when he finds a compromise, it will lead to his own death and sometimes the death of others. His deaths involve either glass, his organs, getting impaled or his head.
It is possible that in the TV series, Handy has gained an interest in flying, as seen in Who's to Flame?, Gems the Breaks, A Change of Heart, and Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow. From the episode, In a Jam, it became apparent that he has photosensitive epilepsy, the flashing lights triggering a seizure as his eyes go wonky, he jitters and foams in his mouth.

[edit] Trivia
- Handy has a bobbling hula girl in his car that looks like Giggles, as seen in Don't Yank My Chain
- Normally, Handy doesn't wear shoes. But in "House Warming", he was seen wearing beige worker boots while stomping on Petunia just to put out the fire.
- Handy is usually seen with The Mole and Lumpy, who are described as the no hands, no eyes, no brain. Coincidentally, they all starred in Don't Yank My Chain, the only episode with three separate starring characters. They were also seen working together at the construction site in Concrete Solution.
- Handy, Lumpy, Flaky, and Russell are the only characters without regularly visible ears. But in the episode, Blind Date, his ears are seen very briefly when the Mole drives under his truck, popping his hard hat off for a moment.
- Toothy and Handy are both voiced by Warren Graff. Both characters are beavers.
- In the "Collect Them All" section, Handy loves shadow puppets.
- In the Second Servings DVD, Handy has his own cereal called "Handy Corn" (which comes with a free Handy hard-hat bowl).
- He has a pet goldfish as seen in Shard at Work.
- On occasion, Handy doesn't seem to mind if others die, suffer, or experience some sort of misfortune. In Wheelin' and Dealin', he was seen laughing at Lifty & Shifty because they didn't have a steering wheel to their go-cart knowing they're about to crash. *In The Wrong Side of the Tracks, he becomes excited over winning a ring toss game, despite the fact Nutty is impaled on the peg he's throwing the rings at. Later in the episode, Handy laughs when Cuddles loses both of his hands when they enter a low tunnel on the roller coaster. In Ipso Fatso, Handy's hardhat saves him from shards of flying glass, while Russell and Nutty are sliced to pieces by them. Elated by his own survival, he has no apparent concern for the other two.
