How can I get Chepito's Bust-All?
  • 1 of 7: Chepito got it by bartering.
  • 2 of 7: And he would probably be willing to trade his drill away for another tool.
  • 3 of 7: Something a little more his size.
  • 4 of 7: Go into your office, and talk to the two angels in the cage.
  • 5 of 7: Talk to them enough, and they will eventually throw their little hammer at you.
  • 6 of 7: Chepito might like that.
  • 7 of 7: Give it to him, and he'll "let" you have his Bust-All in exchange.
