You Tool is a retail, home improvement and hardware store featured in Grand Theft Auto V. It is a parody of The Home Depot and Lowe's, two competing big-box hardware stores in the U.S. The orange signage and shopping carts near its entrance are likely references to The Home Depot, while the dark blue building and the arched shape of the store front is likely a reference to Lowe's.
A You Tool store can be found on Senora Freeway in the Grand Senora Desert, Blaine County, though it is inaccessible. It includes a large parking lot, a Discount Jewels shop and a self-storage service named Carson. A Sprunk vending machine can be found directly outside the entrance.
