Tool List
A tool helps you to do something you couldn't otherwise do, such as craft or repair an item, forge a document, or pick a lock. Your Race, Class, background, or Feats give you proficiency with certain tools. Proficiency with a tool allows you to add your proficiency bonus to any ability check you make using that tool. Tool use is not tied to a single ability, since proficiency with a tool represents broader knowledge of its use.
For example, the GM might ask you to make a Sleight of Hand check to carve a fine detail with your woodcarver’s tools, or a Strength check to make something out of particularly hard wood.
If you are proficient in a skill check AND in that tool, instead of getting double proficiency (expertise), you would usually get Advantage on the roll.
