How do I get the name of a player holding a tool?

The script running should be a LocalScript.
If the script is a LocalScript, then we can ask for the LocalScript to find the LocalPlayer executing the script.
local PlayerHoldingTheTool = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerName = PlayerHoldingTheTool.Name
PlayerHoldingTheTool is the LocalPlayer himself. PlayerName is his name.
If this helped, accept the answer! Hope this helped!

The first thing that comes to my mind is: Why is the F not capitalized? FindFirstChild needs it to be capitalized.
