Tools breaking when moved from ReplicatedStorage to StarterGear?

I made this script that gives a player an item when bought with in-game currency. The way it works is when the player has enough coins and clicks the "Buy" button the game clones a tool from ReplicatedStorage to the players StarterGear, backpack.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local leaderboard = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local button = script.Parent
local price = button:WaitForChild("Price")
local item = button:WaitForChild("ItemName")
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	if leaderboard.Coins.Value >= price.Value then
		leaderboard.Coins.Value = leaderboard.Coins.Value - price.Value
		local item = rs:WaitForChild(item.Value)
		item:Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear
		item:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
	end
end)

while wait() do
	button.image = item.Value.." - "..price.Value
end

For some reason when the tool is moved the animations in the tool stop working. Here is the Animations script:

local function WaitForChild(parent, childName)
	while not parent:FindFirstChild(childName) do parent.ChildAdded:wait() end
	return parent[childName]
end

local Tool = script.Parent

local Animations = {}
local MyHumanoid
local MyCharacter


local function PlayAnimation(animationName)
	if Animations[animationName] then
		Animations[animationName]:Play()
	end
end

local function StopAnimation(animationName)
	if Animations[animationName] then
		Animations[animationName]:Stop()
	end
end


function OnEquipped(mouse)
	MyCharacter = Tool.Parent
	MyHumanoid = WaitForChild(MyCharacter, 'Humanoid')
	if MyHumanoid then
		Animations['EquipAnim'] = MyHumanoid:LoadAnimation(WaitForChild(Tool, 'EquipAnim5'))
		Animations['IdleAnim'] = MyHumanoid:LoadAnimation(WaitForChild(Tool, 'IdleAnim3'))
		Animations['OverheadAnim'] = MyHumanoid:LoadAnimation(WaitForChild(Tool, 'OverheadAnim2'))
		Animations['SlashAnim'] = MyHumanoid:LoadAnimation(WaitForChild(Tool, 'SlashAnim2'))
		Animations['ThrustAnim'] = MyHumanoid:LoadAnimation(WaitForChild(Tool, 'ThrustAnim2'))
		Animations['UnequipAnim'] = MyHumanoid:LoadAnimation(WaitForChild(Tool, 'UnequipAnim2'))
	end
	PlayAnimation('EquipAnim')
	PlayAnimation('IdleAnim')
end

function OnUnequipped()
	for animName, _ in pairs(Animations) do
		StopAnimation(animName)
	end
end

Tool.Equipped:connect(OnEquipped)
Tool.Unequipped:connect(OnUnequipped)

WaitForChild(Tool, 'PlaySlash').Changed:connect(
	function (value)
			PlayAnimation('SlashAnim')
	end)

WaitForChild(Tool, 'PlayThrust').Changed:connect(
	function (value)
			PlayAnimation('ThrustAnim')
	end)

WaitForChild(Tool, 'PlayOverhead').Changed:connect(
	function (value)
			PlayAnimation('OverheadAnim')
	end)

If anyone knows why the animations break when the tool is moved to StarterGear it will help me a ton. Thanks!
