The StarterPack is not the place where the Player's tools are stored, they move to the Player's Backpack after the game runs. To remove tools from all players, you can do this.

for _,player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
    for _,tool in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
        tool.Parent = ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("itemholder") -- This way, the tools get mixed up with other players' tools.
    end
end

This way, the tools get mixed up and you won't be able to give them back later, to fix this, you can add this in a server script:

local holder = ServerStorage:WaitForChild("itemholder")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local folder = Instance.New("Folder")
    folder.Name = player.Name
    folder.Parent = holder
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
    local folder = holder:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
    if folder then
        folder:Destroy()
    end
end)

So, Your final script to remove all the tools from the players would be

for _,player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
    for _,tool in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
        tool.Parent = ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("itemholder"):FindFirstChild(player.Name) -- This way, the tools wont get mixed up with other players' tools.
    end
end

thank u really but this line of code in the server script game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) local folder = Instance.New("Folder") folder.Name = player.Name folder.Parent = holder end) gives me serverScriptService.main:67: attempt to call a nil value you_success -50 — 4y

does itemholder exist in the serverstorage? oilkas 364 — 4y

yes it does you_success -50 — 4y

but should i put the for _,player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do 2 for _,tool in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do 3 tool.Parent = ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("itemholder"):FindFirstChild(player.Name) in local or server because i have put it into a server script you_success -50 — 4y
