Tools help you do things in the world. The Blacksmith usually needs two days to upgrade your tools from normal to copper.

Hoes

Used to dig and till soil. Hold down left click to increase area of effect (Only applies after first upgrade). Hoes can also be used to dig up the worms seen around the world, to reveal hidden items.

Can be used on iron ore to collect the ore tile itself for later placement.

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.

Watering

Used to water crops. It can be refilled at any water source. Hold down left click to increase area of effect (Only applies after first upgrade).

Spending a day without watering your plants while upgrading will delay and harm your crops. To avoid this, always check the weather report for the next day. If the forecast is rain, water all your plants and upgrade your watering can the day before it rains, or simply upgrade during the winter, or near the end of a season (the 26th or 27th), if your current crops only last for the season you're in.

Alternatively, using Retaining Soil can keep your crops watered for another day.

Using upgraded watering cans has one nuance: you should hold down action button to water maximum area possible, otherwise it will act like normal watering can. Watering tiles would be highlighted. Direction of watering area depends on siding of player an can not be changed. Watering large areas cost same water and stamina as if you would water them manually, so watering a 6x3 area will cost 18 water and up to 36 stamina!
