The spanner set is one of the most important tools in My Summer Car. Without it, you can't build or maintain your car. Many players find themselves stuck, wondering how to properly use this toolkit. This guide will teach you the basics of using the spanner set, along with some advanced speedrunning tips for faster bolting.

How to Open and Use the Spanner Set

Finding the Spanner Set:
- In the garage, look for the spanner set on the table.
- Approach the box and press F while looking at the side with the handle. This will open the box.
Entering Tool Mode:
- To pick up a spanner, press 2 on your keyboard. This switches you into tool mode.
- Once in tool mode, look at any of the spanners and left-click to pick one up.
- If you want to leave tool mode, press 1 on your keyboard.
  Tip: If you’re having trouble picking up items, you might still be in tool mode—press 1 to exit.
Spanner Sizes:
- The spanner set contains 14 tools, including:
  - A screwdriver
  - A ruler
  - A spark plug wrench
  - A range of wrenches from 5mm to 15mm
- These tools cover almost all the bolts and nuts needed to build and maintain your car, except for certain specific tasks.

Advanced Techniques

Speedrunning Tip for Faster Bolting:
- If you want to screw or unscrew bolts faster, you can use a trick often adopted by speedrunners:
  - Wiggle your mouse back and forth while holding the spanner. This helps reduce the cooldown time between bolt clicks, making the process faster.
- Keep in mind that having a higher FPS slightly improves the speed of bolting as well.
Upgrading to a Ratchet Set:
- Once you earn enough money, consider upgrading to the ratchet set, which costs 359 markka.
- The ratchet set is faster than the default wrench set but has limitations:
  - It can’t be used on nuts attached to rods and pipes, like brake or fuel line nuts.
- To switch between screw mode and unscrew mode, press F while using the ratchet.
- You can order the ratchet set from the magazine in the garage and place the order at T’s store.

Tips

Where to Get Tools:
If you lose any tools or want to buy extras, you can visit Flari’s Repair Shop, where tools are available between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.
Screwdriver Uses:
The screwdriver isn’t just for car maintenance. You can use it to:
- Steal money from the poker machine.
- Drive the RC car, which can be stolen from the ventti dealer’s house.

With this guide you should be able to use the spanner set and other tools in My Summer Car. Mastering these basics will help you build your car, maintain it, and even explore advanced mechanics like speedrunning bolting.

Good luck, and have fun!
