ALL THE FIXIN'S TIM ALLEN'S HIP HUGGER

It's leather. It's all-purpose: a hammer, screwdrivers, two pairs of pliers (needle-nose and regular), a small pipe cutter, two tape measures (one wooden foldout and one regular), pencils, an awl. It's funky. And all that for under $30. When Tim Allen, the fumble-fingered Mr. Fix-It on ABC's hit comedy Home Improvement, straps on his three-holstered tool belt, he becomes a tough- talking, high-testosterone hardware cowboy ready to repair, rewire, respackle, refasten, and recharge anything in sight. ''There's nothing like the feeling of rawhide and cold steel hanging on your hips,'' he bellows. And suddenly, it's hammer time.
