Clone is only a function of instances. GetChildren returns a normal array. You have to loop through the array to actually use the instances.

btw FindFirstChild is for verification (returns either a child or nil), so don't try to immediately use its result. I'll assume map.Name is valid.

if workspace[map.Name]:FindFirstChild("Tools") then
    for _,tool in ipairs(workspace[map.Name].Tools:GetChildren()) do
        tool:Clone().Parent = Player.Starterpack
    end
else
    print('No gears')
end
