Tools

Tools help you do things in the world. You can upgrade your tools at the Blacksmith for money and metal bars (or raw ore), with upgrades taking two days to complete. During the upgrade, you can't buy anything or ask Clint to break open geodes. Tools must go in ascending order of materials in order to upgrade. Copper tools can't be upgraded directly to iriduim, etc.

Hoes

Used to dig and till soil. After you have upgraded to the copper hoe, hold down left click to cycle between the different areas of effect. Hoes can also be used to dig up Artifact Spots seen around the world, to reveal hidden items.

It is noteworthy that the hoe cannot till areas with floor/path tiles place over them. This also prevent objects placed on these floor/path tiles from being uprooted. Hence placing sprinklers over a floor/path tiles will aid in efficiently tilling soil when the season changes.

You can use the hoe to dig up dirt around town to get clay. In the Winter you can also get Winter Root and Snow Yams.

Pickaxes

Used mainly for breaking stones and furniture items (including floors and sprinklers). With each upgrade level, the number of hits required are reduced and bigger stones may become breakable.

Using the pickaxe on an enemy will deal a small portion of damage to the monster, similarly to swing action tools. They can also be used to un-till soil tilled with a hoe.

Axes

Used to chop down Trees for wood and sap and to gather Hardwood from a Large Stump or a Large Log. Similarly to swing action tools, it can damage the enemy by small damage. Every level upgrades, tree will take 2 less hits and 1 hit less for stump.

Can also be used to harvest Giant Crops.

Watering

Used to water crops. It can be refilled at any body of water, or at a well. Upgrading watering can changes what left click does; for example, hold down left click to increase areas of effect. Watering larger areas cost the same water and stamina as if you were to water them manually, so this is recommended for large amounts of watering. Spending a day without watering your plants will delay or wither your crops. If it is raining, crops do not need to be watered.

Tip: Using Retaining Soil may keep your crops watered for another day. Tip: Upgrading the watering can requires some planning, as it takes two days to upgrade, which means at least one full day without being able to water one's crops. The best times to upgrade the watering can are when it is not needed: starting the upgrade when the forecast predicts rain the next day, during winter when crops don't grow, or at the end of the season when crops will die anyway.
