How do I force a player to keep holding a tool?
When the player clicks on a block, they receive a tool from the ServerStorage. How can I make sure that the tool is always equipped when the player has it? Thanks in advance!

Well you can't directly force the player to never remove the tools without disabling keys and/or the backpack. However, you can requip the tool everytime it is unequipped. SerpentineKing 3885 — 5y

You can disabled the backpack. When you disable the backpack and a player picks up/holds a tool they cannot unequip the tool.
To disable the backpack you need a Local Script in StarterGui and put this:
game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false)
This will disable the back pack thus allowing you to stop a player from unequipping an item.

That didn't work, the tool is coming from ServerStorage, so when is copied to the player's backpack, it is not equipped automatically. User#26817 0 — 5y

Hmm. What you could do is try teleport the tool right above the player and when the player touches the tool it will auto equip. Babyseal1015 56 — 5y

You can Humanoid:EquipTool to force a player to equip a tool, you can also use Humanoid:UnequipTools if you want to force the player to unequip their tool crabbyninja 58 — 5y
