Why is my debounce variable not working?

I'm making a dynamite tool, but for some reason the debounce doesn't work and you can spam click to spawn more dynamite. Any fixes?

local Tool = script.Parent
local Handle = Tool:WaitForChild("Handle")
local Debounce = true
Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
    if Debounce == true then
        PlantBomb()
        Debounce = false
        wait(3)
        Debounce = true
    end
end)

function PlantBomb()
    local Bomb = Handle:Clone()
    Bomb.Parent = workspace
    Bomb.CanCollide = true
    Bomb.Anchored = false
    Bomb.Transparency = 0
    wait(3)
    local Boom = Instance.new("Explosion")
    Boom.Parent = workspace
    Boom.Position = Bomb.Position
    Boom.BlastRadius = 16
    Bomb:Destroy()
end

Here's a quickie, you should put the debounce = false before PlantBomb() located on line 6.

Don't worry, it'll make a lot more sense once you do it.

Put the debounce changer at the start. As it calls the function then changes the debounce. It needs to change the debounce then call the function.

local Debounce = false —Debounce should always be set to false, not true.
Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
    if Debounce == false then
        Debounce = true
        PlantBomb()
        wait(3)
        Debounce = false
    end
end)
