Trivia
- The term "screw this" refers to an expression of frustration at a difficult task, usually when abandoning said task.
- In the windows, there are references to MC Hammer, with signs saying "Tooled up? It's hammer time".
- The same signs feature in the windows of Bunch of Tools.
- 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 Tooled Up.
