Tools

Tools help you do things in the world. You can upgrade your tools at the Blacksmith for money and metal bars, with upgrades taking two days to complete. During the upgrade, you can't buy anything or ask Clint to break open geodes.

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 the worms 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.

Watering

Used to water crops. It can be refilled at any body of water, or at a well. After you have upgraded to the copper watering can, hold down left click to cycle between the different areas of effect.

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 and 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!
