Tools are items originally released with the Mann-Conomy Update that can be used but have no direct effect on game-play themselves. Nearly all tools can be bought from the Mann Co. Store while certain tools can be found randomly through the item drop system. Currently, it is impossible to craft any kind of tool but some can be acquired through trading.

There are two types of tools, general tools and action items. General tools can be used at any time, and only influence the player's personal backpack where action items must be used while connected to a server as they effect other players. Currently, the only exception to this rule is Gift Wrap which is an action item that can be used without being connected to a server. Action items are further split between gifts and consumables. Gifts are single use tools that add items to the backpacks of other players while consumable items have multiple, but limited, uses and add elements of "fun" to the server they are used on.
