Tools

## Tools: There are many of them with a wide variety of uses for them

### Wrench, the most commonly used tool

   The player's wrench is likely the most used tool in game, it is used to screw and unscrew bolts from various engine, suspension, drivetrain and body parts. This tool can be purchased at the gas station for $11.

### Screwdriver, for the smaller bits and pieces

   The player's screwdriver is used mostly for the smaller parts of the vehicles that players work on, it is used for screwing and unscrewing screws from various trim and interior parts such as grilles, rear view mirrors, and headlights as well as rear lights.

Additionally you can use the screw driver for deflating a vehicle's tires, by equipping it and bringing the cursor over to the tire valve.

### Pry tool, for the trim parts

   The player's pry tool is used mainly for removing windows, trim pieces as well as some interior parts such as, door covers (found on the outside of the doors in the Wolf), trim pieces such as roof trim (also found on Wolf) as well as headliners and other bits and pieces inside and outside of various vehicles.

Additionally the pry tool can be used for detaching various engine parts such as camshafts, sprockets and so on.

### Hammer, for the dents and bent panels

    The player's hammer is used for fixing bent body panels such as fenders, quarter panels and so on. The hammer can be used on the cars chassis as well to some extent. Keep in mind that not everything can be fixed with the hammer, so if your cars body panels are too bent you might need to replace them.

### Angle Grinder, for the rust and cutting jobs

    The player's angle grinder has two main functions, these are sanding and cutting. The angle grinder comes with two different disc's that can be installed to the grinder, one is for sanding down rust (the yellow disc) and other is for cutting off body panels and frame parts from cars (the gray disc's). The angle grinder cannot sand rust on parts that are too damaged.

Sand discs will be found from the start of the game, at the place where the player's tool set will spawn, you will get one sanding disc and one package of 5 cutting disc's. When you eventually run out of cutting disc's, more can be bought from the gas station across the road, or from town for $5. The sanding disc will not degrade and can be used indefinitely (as of 28th of July 2023, this might change in the later updates).

### Welder, for welding up those new parts to the chassis

    The players welder is used for welding on new body panels such as quarter panels, as well as welding on new frame parts such as frame rails and supports and other various parts to the car's chassis.

To operate the welder you will need to have electrodes too, a box of 10 electrodes will spawn from the start of the game with the player's other tools, but when you eventually will run out of them, more can be bought from the gas station located across the street from the player's garage for $15.

To install the electrode to the welders handle, pick up the small handle found on the top of the welder, after that drop it on a table or to the ground, then take one electrode from the box of 10 electrodes, and bring it next to the welder's handle, after this you should see the check mark and then just let go, this should snap the electrode in place and now you are ready to weld!

### Spark plug socket, for the injectors and plugs

The player's spark plug socket can be used to torque and unscrew injectors (found in the 3.0L Diesel engine) and can be used to torque down and unscrew glow plugs (also found in the 3.0L Diesel engine) as well as torquing and unscrewing spark plugs found in all the other gasoline powered engines.

### Air pump, to air up them flat tires

The player's air pump will be found among the other tools at the start of the game, it is used for inflating the car's tires. To inflate a tire, just equip the tire pump and when you have it at hand, walk over to the vehicle's wheels, you should see the tire valve, point the cursors over it and it should highlight to a green color, after that just pump the tire full of air using the left mouse button (default controls), keep pumping until you don't hear the pump making in noise anymore, after that you have fully inflated tire.

### Decal Box, to make your car truly your's
