Saving data every time a child is added/removed can cause DataStore saving to exceed the allowed limit. You should instead save what you need saved/changed into a table only when the player leaves or does something important.

In your ChildAdded/Removed, you could instead change a table directly. That table then gets saved from the methods of my last comment.

it takes players hours to get enough money to buy a new tool and all it should be fine but i can still change it tho if you want and what do you mean save it directly?
