Renovate remotely



[h3]Dear Players![/h3]As we all know, renovation is best served in co-op. Although it might seem like you and your crew won’t get together for a while, the fact is you’re just a few clicks away from each other!

How’s that possible? Thanks to the magic of Steam Remote Play Together! Check it out:

After all, staying at home is fun too! There’s so much you can do. Renovate, clean up, paint walls… No? Then how about doing it all in Tools Up!... with your friends and family!

Home renovations are always more fun when you can recruit others to do the heavy lifting while you, um, supervise. Use Steam Remote Play to assemble your ultimate renovation team and enjoy ordering others around!

[h2]How to launch Steam Remote Play Together[/h2]
  1. Launch Tools Up!
  2. Press Shift+Tab to open Steam overlay.
  3. Open your Friends List and right-click to invite your friends.
  4. They accept the invite in the chat window and... That’s it! You're renovating together.

While Tools Up! is by design a local co-op game, the experience can be definitely enhanced with the Steam Remote Play Together feature. If you can’t throw a renovation party together at home, do it online!

Only today: A double-sided bucket!



The Tools Up! Co. is bringing to you a brand new tool that will make your work insanely easy: a multi-functional double-sided bucket! It can be filled from two sides and doesn’t require emptying—EVER!

Finally, you can fill that bucket-shaped hole in your life and find true happiness! ːmustache_toolsupː

An alloy of iron (26Fe) and carbon (6C), and other elements, like LOVE (∞♥), forms the perfect material to withstand all possible scenarios requiring a bucket. The stainless steel was tempered in the volcanic fire of Atlantis and polished to perfection by a thousand expert polisher...guys. Talk about durability!

For just $5.99 you can change your life forever! Make your work more effective and your time off more off-ective! The two-sided bucket is bottomless and you can put everything there with the same result. It’s foolproof, bulletproof, gravity proof, proof-proof and available now! BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!



Are you tired of wild, out-of-control buckets? This double-sided bucket is super easy to control! Pick it up with just one hand (if you’re worthy) or simply call it out loud and it will come to you, wherever you are, through the mountains and lakes. Bottomless bucket to the rescue!

Available in any color you want, as long as it’s #c5c5c5! Choose your favorite: Lunar Rock or #c5c5c5.

The extremely ergonomic handle* will perfectly fit into your hand. You can get it in 10 colors, including royal red (red), big dip o’ruby (another red) and japanese carmine (more red). It’s all pixels and zero waste!

And when you have finished at work, use the bucket at home!
  • Wash your pets in the bucket! It’s so convenient you’ll never use a bathtub again.
  • Wear it on your head and the neighbors won’t disturb you anymore. Actually, there’s a good chance no one will want to talk to you ever again!
  • Play games on the bucket! It still supports kinect and runs Skyrim on the highest settings.
Don’t wait, get the bucket of your life now! ːheyyou_toolsupː

* The handle is sold separately. The bucket needs one per each side to work properly.
