When to choose it
Hand Crank: Consuming a unit restores nitro.
Choose Hand Crank when you regularly consume units between boosts. Use those pickups to replenish your reserve before the next approach.
Pairings and trade-offs
Salvager restores 5 nitro when you destroy a vehicle. Choose the trigger your route produces: consuming units and destroying vehicles are separate actions. A tank adds capacity without requiring either action.
