Tooled Up is a hardware store that also acts as a weapons store in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
Description[]
The store is located in the North Point Mall in Vice Point. Tommy Vercetti can purchase various tools from the store, which he uses as weapons.
Tommy must also rob the store to gain 100% completion. The Coveralls Outfit can be found at the back of the store after the completion of "Riot".
As recently as 1984 (the setting of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories), the space where Tooled Up was built was just an undeveloped wall.[1]
Weapons for Purchase[]
| Tool | Price |
| Screwdriver | $10 |
| Hammer | $20 |
| Meat Cleaver | $50 |
| Knife | $90 |
| Katana | $300 |
Trivia[]
- The sign in the store window, "Why Not Get Wood and Do it Yourself This Weekend?" is a double entendre. It may refer to carpentry or other craftsmanship activities, which are popular weekend pastimes among men. But the term "get wood and do it yourself" can also refer to having an erection and masturbating, another of Rockstar's sexual jokes.
- The same sign features in the window of Screw This.
- "Tooled Up" is South English slang for a well-equipped person, particularly with a gun.[2]
