Added DiffLines:

* InternationalCoproduction: Between the Isle Of Man-based Lough House Animation and the French company Cymax.
* OneEpisodeWonder: "Where's Squirt?", the series' pilot, appears to have been the only episode ever actually produced.
* ShowAccuracyToyAccuracy: While they retained their general appearances and body shapes, most of the tools were changed from being all yellow-skinned (well, [[AnimateInanimateObject "skinned"]]) in the playset (and having a blue head, in Tap's case) to being ColorCodedCharacters. And then there's Squirt, who was much smaller than the other tools and lacked limbs as a toy, but was brought up to the same level as everyone else on the SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism in the cartoon. Oh, and recolored from "shiny and metallic" to dark purple.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** ''The Tool Street Gang'' was originally planned to be a SixtyFiveEpisodeCartoon; unfortunately, this never came about, and the show's (unaired) pilot is all that's left.
** [[https://web.archive.org/web/20190510014711/http://gmanx.com/image-files/collectedTSG.jpg Early concept art]] for the show has surfaced on the web, revealing that the tools were originally planned to be mostly metallic except for red-and-yellow bodies, and had very mechanical-looking limbs. [[ColorCodedCharacters Color-coding]] was down to a ring around each tool's "neck", and was also rather different from the finished project (Gripper had a blue ring, Nutley had yellow, Dizzy had green, Turner had red, and Fret had orange, while Squirt didn't have a colored ring at all; Tap was the only one to maintain the same color association between the concept art and the completed pilot). Additionally, Nutley and Fret also had [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics eyelashes]].
