Screw This is a hardware store that also acts as a weapons store in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

Description[]

The store is located in Little Havana, Vice City, west of the Little Havana Police Station. Tommy Vercetti can purchase various tools from the store, which he uses as weapons.

Tommy Vercetti must also rob the store in order to gain 100% completion in GTA Vice City

The store was not opened in 1984 (during the events of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories) and was occupied by an unnamed boarded up business[1], but had opened by 1986 (during the events of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City).

Weapons for Purchase[]

Tool Price
Screwdriver $10
Hammer $20
Meat Cleaver $50
Machete $100

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 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.
