Comes with 50 charges, depending on your [[skill]], you'll use a proportionate amount of string and the potential risk of failure.  Low skill can damage clothing!

Also lifts manholes and has a decent bash rating - though the hammer is quicker and has higher bash, the hammer can't pry open doors. As well can used to remove boarding from windows and doors.

Tools are your friends, many of them have their own unique functions and most are needed in some crafting recipes and construction.

Tools with their own function

These tools can be applied and each one has specific uses that can help you survive.

  • Lighter - a common, but useful item to have in your inventory. Takes up no space and has enough charges for a game's worth, these are one of the more convenient tools you can find. applying it will prompt you to choose a direction in which to light something. Also necessary for some items such as marijuana and molotov cocktails.
  • Sewing Kit - quite commonly found in houses, these are necessary for repairing and sew clothing. Make sure you have a high enough tailoring ability though! Comes with 50 charges, depending on your skill, you'll use a proportionate amount of string and the potential risk of failure. Low skill can damage clothing!
  • Scissors - used to cut cotton based clothing into rags and ropes into strings. Unlimited charges, tailoring skill for more rags.
  • Hammer - you can apply this to remove boarding from windows and doors (500 moving points). Along with nails and two by fours, this is used during construction. Also make for a very powerful weapon, and aids when smashing down doors or windows.
  • Fire extinguisher - bulky and heavy, but great against small to moderate sized fires. Blazes and bonfires are hard to keep under control with this tool. applying it will prompt you to choose a direction to spray in.
  • Flashlight - applying it turns it on, increasing visible tiles in the dark by a large amount. Attracts a crowd, but useful in the dark. Don't forget to turn it off when you don't need it anymore!
  • Light Amp Goggles - Like the flashlight, but its more stealthy and requires a UPS to operate. Tints everything green.

List of tools

  • Reloading time of tools is a sum of their weight and volume plus 100 additional moving points and hands encumberment penalty. Reloading is interruptable activity.
    • Unloading time is a half of reloading time, and full charge is unloaded in one action. Unloading is non-interruptable activity.
  • Use — how many charges are used up when applying the object.

  • Revert — the item type that the tool will revert to once its charges are drained
  • Funct. — a function called when the tool is applied, or called once per turn if the tool is active. The same function can be used for both. See iuse.h and iuse.cpp for functions.
