A taped mount may fall off in a collision, whereas a drilled one will stay firmly in place. However, drilling can only be done on select surfaces and not on windows, boilers , gauges and such.

Once the mount is in place and secured, a gadget can be attached to it. Gadgets and mounts can be removed using the hammer . Drilled holes can be repaired too, using the filler gun .

In order to function, some gadgets require to be connected to the vehicle’s electrical supply . This is done using the soldering gun loaded with soldering wire . Bear in mind that soldering wires are expendable, and each connection costs money .

Some gadgets can be wired together, using the crimping tool . For example, pairing gadgets with controllers , such as buttons and knobs, makes it possible to toggle them on and off, or fine tune their intensity.

Gadgets installed on DVRT vehicles will, upon vehicle’s despawning , return to a tool shed.
