local StarterGear = Player:WaitForChild("StarterGear")
if ToolData ~= nil then
for i, v in pairs(ToolData) do
if ToolFolder:FindFirstChild(v) and Backpack:FindFirstChild(v) == nil and StarterGear:FindFirstChild(v) == nil then
ToolFolder[v]:Clone().Parent = Backpack

FindFirstChild will return true or false when used in an if statement saying if it exists or not checking if it is nil will return an error and you should check if it is not StarterGear:FindFirstChild(v) or if StarterGear:FindFirstChild(v) == false I fixed your code below.
local Backpack = Player:WaitForChild("Backpack")
local StarterGear = Player:WaitForChild("StarterGear")
if ToolData ~= nil then
for i, v in pairs(ToolData) do
if ToolFolder:FindFirstChild(v) and not Backpack:FindFirstChild(v) and not StarterGear:FindFirstChild(v) then -- Checking if FindFirstChild(v) is nil can not be checked as it returns a bool value.
ToolFolder[v]:Clone().Parent = Backpack
ToolFolder[v]:Clone().Parent = StarterGear
end
end
end
Player.CharacterRemoving:Connect(function(Character)
Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):UnequipTools()
end)
