I think you've got the whole concept of MoveTo wrong. First off you use MoveTo to move an object with a humanoid to a Vector3 position. For More Detail On 'Humanoid:MoveTo()' click this API link: Humanoid:MoveTo ROBLOX Developer You don't use it to move items into player's backpack, to move an object just parent it to a new place. E.g.

game.ServerStorage.BuildingHammer.Parent = --Player's Backpack

Also, i assume you are doing this in a server script. If this is true then local player won't work. Local Player only works for local scripts as local scripts are ran on the client, not the server so you use the playerAdded event like so:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) --Save Player to a variable as first parameter

Also you don't have to put it in a while true do loop, there's just no point. You don't have to check for when the player touches the part constantly, the Touched event does that. Also using ''Region3'' would probably be recommended for this as you can detect whether a player is within a certain area. If you want to learn this you can watch the DevKing's Tutorial here: DevKing Advanced Series: Region3

Hope this helps!
