Hank is an annoying boomer but he lives his values, which makes him endearing. There's an episode where he notices the tile in his bathroom is faded and says it was guaranteed for 20 years and its only been "what 17, 18 years? Where's that receipt?" That's an annoying and obnoxious boomerism. On the other hand, if Hank guaranteed something for 20 years, even as an unofficial offhand comment, and somebody called him on it, he'd go take care of it.
Same thing with tools. Many boomers pretend to have any idea what they are doing when really they don't have any tools or skills. Hank had enough tools and skills to teach an entire shop class in his garage.
He believes in the idealized idea of America. That means he works hard and to a high degree of craftsmanship and honesty. It also means he can get scammed and taken advantage of with his expectation that other people are doing the same.
