JACK SHEA HAS TO PROVE HE HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO RUN THE FAMILY BUSINESS, ON THE PREMIERE OF ABC'S "FAMILY TOOLS"

"Pilot" - Mixing family with business is never easy, and Jack Shea is about to learn that lesson the hard way. When Jack's father, Tony, has a heart attack and is forced to hand over the keys to his beloved handyman business, Jack's eager to finally step up and make his father proud.

His new job isn't made any easier by Tony's rebellious, troublemaking assistant, Darren, and Darren's flirtatious sister, Stitch, who works at the local hardware store.
