30 Floors Up Roblox tools and what they open

What each tool does

Tool	Where players found it	What it opens
Screwdriver	Your apartment (a day 0 objective); closets; toolboxes	Vent grates; one of the two tools Arthur Hail accepts
Adjustable wrench	The toolbox in the janitor room next to the lift (needs the emergency key); one player found one in a hallway closet	Bolted vents (three bolts), the door and valve riser on floor 27 that brings the water back
Hammer	On the floor of your apartment; toolboxes	Forces the emergency room if you lack the key; Arthur Hail’s jammed door; also a weapon
Bolt cutters	The emergency room; the room behind the medical cabinet; other apartments	Chains: the chained doors on your floor, the east fire doors (per Arthur’s note) and the main lobby door
Screws and board	Toolboxes, closets, other apartments	Repairing your front door (“we need screws and a board”)
Static line	Near Arthur Hail’s floor	Unknown; players carried it without finding a use
Phone	Several apartments	One guide says it can be used to contact people; not shown in detail

Your own apartment’s toolbox has some of these but, as one guide notes, not the wrench, which is why the emergency key matters.

How do you get the wrench?

The route a 7 November walkthrough shows:

1. Get the emergency key (linked to the Okafor brothers; keys).
2. Find the janitor room, the room next to the elevator on your floor.
3. Open its toolbox with the emergency key: the adjustable wrench is inside.

Use it on the next bolted vent, then take it to floor 27 to open the valve riser so the water pumps up to the roof tank (water). Players who found a wrench elsewhere (a hallway closet) skipped the key.

Bolt cutters: when to cut

Every chain cut is loud. Arthur Hail’s maintenance note says it outright about the east fire doors: cutting the chain is loud and the stair side is never empty, so get them listening to something else first. Clear the area or make noise elsewhere before you cut (zombies).

Do tools break?

No recording shows a tool breaking or wearing out. Inventory space is the real limit: carry the screwdriver and wrench on trips and leave the rest at home (backpacks).

Is the screwdriver a weapon?

No. One player who checked the toolbox found that the hammer counts as a weapon (it showed 23 damage) while the screwdriver does not. Keep the screwdriver for vents and Arthur’s door, and carry a real weapon as well (weapons).

Which tools to carry on a trip

Trip	Take	Leave at home
Next-door flats through the vents	Screwdriver, wrench	Bolt cutters
Arthur Hail on floor 28	Hammer or screwdriver, bandage	Wrench
Floor 27 valve	Wrench, light	Bolt cutters
Roof	Triangular key, wrench, light	Hammer if you have a bat
Chained doors or the lobby	Bolt cutters, something to make noise elsewhere	Screws and boards
