Why do you need a sledgehammer in May Summer Car?

The sledgehammer in the game is not just a “heavy stick”, but a universal tool for:

• 🔨 Dismantling parts: without it you cannot remove some body panels, bumpers or even the engine (in some modifications).
• 🚗 Body repair: straightening dents, removing rust (in combination with other tools).
• 🏠 Construction and destruction: You can break through the walls in the garage, break down a fence, or even “renovate” the house (if you really want to).
• 💰 Earnings: Some tasks from NPCs require the use of a sledgehammer (for example, dismantling old cars for parts).

Without a sledgehammer you will be limited in what you can do, especially if you are playing realistic mode or are you trying to restore completely? Satsuma 500. But the most annoying thing is that you can’t buy it in a store like other tools. We'll have to look.

Method 1: Sledgehammer in father's garage (classic location)

The most logical place for a sledgehammer to be located is father's garage (or "grandfather's garage" as the players call it). It is located next to the player's house, but the tool does not always appear there immediately. Here's how to find it:

1. Go into the garage (the door is usually open or easily broken into).
2. Inspect shelving to the right of the entrance - the sledgehammer can be on the top shelf.
3. If it's not there, check tool box near the workbench (sometimes you need to open it with a screwdriver).
4. On rare occasions, a sledgehammer is lying on the floor next to old motor or by bicycle.

⚠️ Attention: If you've already gone into the garage and haven't found a sledgehammer, don't despair. Tools in May Summer Car sometimes will respawn (appear again) after restarting the game or after a game day. Try leaving the garage, wait 10-15 minutes according to game time and return.

Method 2: Buy from Teemu (hidden dialogue)

Many players don't know, but you can use a sledgehammer beg Teemu - a friend of the main character who sits on a bench near the store. To do this:

1. Approach Teem and click Eto start a conversation.
2. Select speech option: "I need a sledgehammer" (or similar in meaning).
3. If Teemu is in a good mood (depending on your reputation), he may give it for free or offer to pay 50-100 marks.

🔹 Important nuance: This method doesn't always work. If Teemu is drunk or angry at you (for example, if you recently stole his car), he will refuse. You can increase your chances if you give him a gift before the dialogue beer or cigarettes (bought in the store).

Condition	Chance to get a sledgehammer	Cost
Teemu is sober and happy	80%	Free or 50 marks
Teemu is drunk	30%	100+ stamps
You gave beer/cigarettes	90%	Free
Low reputation	10%	150+ marks or refusal

Method 3: Stealing from a neighbor's house (risky method)

If you don't mind a little break the law in the game, you can try to steal a sledgehammer from your neighbor. This method is suitable for players who are not afraid of consequences (including loss of reputation or a fine from the police).

Instructions:

• 🏡 Go to neighbor's house (next to your house, with a green roof).
• 🚪 Check if the door is open. If not, try to hack it using master keys (bought from Teemu or found in the garage).
• 🔨 Look inside the house basement or shed in the yard - the sledgehammer can lie next to other tools.
• 🚔 Be careful: if a neighbor notices the theft, he may call the police. In this case, it is better to run away and return later.

⚠️ Attention: After the theft, your reputation with your neighbor will drop, and he may stop talking to you. If quests from NPCs are important to you, it is better to use other methods.

What happens if you get caught?

If a neighbor or the police notice the theft, you will be fined 200-500 marks or imprisoned for 1-3 in-game days. Reputation will drop to a minimum, and some NPCs will refuse to help.

Method 4: Landfill Find (for the patient)

One of the most reliable, but time-consuming methods is to search for a sledgehammer on landfill (or "garbage bin" as the players call it). It is located outside the city, next to forest and abandoned house. You can find many useful things there, including tools.

How to search:

1. Take it with you flashlight (it's dark in the landfill) and gloves (so as not to cut yourself).
2. Inspect piles of scrap metal and broken cars — the sledgehammer may be lying next to them.
3. Check boxes and containers (sometimes you need to open them with a crowbar or a screwdriver).
4. If you don't find it the first time, come back after the game day. Things in a landfill are updated once every 24 game hours.

🔹 Lifehack: To speed up your search, use F key for illuminating objects. The sledgehammer will be highlighted in yellow, like the other tools.

Method 5: Tool duplication bug (2026)

If you don't mind using game glitches, you can use a bug with duplicating items. This method works on version May Summer Car 1.2.3+ (reviewed June 2026).

2. Place it on the ground by pressing Q (drop).
3. Quickly pick it back up by holding E.
4. At the moment of selection, press Escto open the menu and close it immediately.
5. If everything is done correctly, it will appear in the inventory duplicate tool. Repeat the action 3-5 times - one of the duplicates may turn into a sledgehammer.

• 🔄 Reboot the game.
• 🚗 Accidents or falls from a great height (if she was in her hands).
• 📦 Transferring items between inventories (for example, from a backpack to a car).
