Silver axe:Occasionally given by Serena, summoned once per day by throwing a basic axe into the town fountain.

Upgrades: The basic axe breaks and disappears from the inventory at 45 hits (or 15 trees). The item and its icon change to two stages of visible cracking before the axe breaks, and the player can use this to know roughly how close their axe is to breaking. Silver and golden axes cannot break.

| A basic shovel. |
Shovels
Shovel: Occasionally available in the tools section of Nook's shop (all incarnations) for 500 bells.
Silver shovel: Given by Resetti the first time a character enters the Surveillance Center.
Golden shovel: Buried shovels turn into golden shovels the next 6AM following burial.
Purpose: A shovel is used to dig holes in the ground, bury items in existing holes, retrieve buried items (such as fossils, gyroids or any manually buried item), remove tree stumps or saplings, and hit money rocks.
Upgrades: In addition to the above, a silver shovel provides a 10% chance at doubling the bells that appear from a money rock each time it is hit. A golden shovel does not do this, but allows the player to create saplings using bells, with a possibility of the resulting tree turning out as a money tree, with 3 sets of 30,000 bells. Every 1,000 bells you bury give you a 1% chance at a money tree (i.e. 50,000 bells buried gives you a 50% chance at a money tree) more info here

| A basic watering can. |
Watering Cans
Watering can: Occasionally available in the tools section of Nook's shop (all incarnations) for 500 bells.
Silver can: Mail from "Posy Farm" after buying 50 bags of flower seeds at Nook's shop.
Golden can: Awarded by the Town Hall after maintaining the best environmental status for 15 consecutive days.
Purpose: A watering can is used to restore withering flowers in order to prevent them disappearing the following day. They are also used to water buried red turnips. The effective radius of the watering can is greater than the visual effect, and using it in one space will also water the spaces above, below and to the sides.
Upgrades: The silver can resets a wilted buried red turnip, making it count as "just planted" the following day. The golden does not do this, but instead turns wilting black roses into golden roses (which themselves never wilt). Both the silver and gold cans have a greater effective radius, watering all nine spaces surrounding the spot where it is used.
Timer
Timer: Occasionally available in the tools section of Nook's shop (after upgrade to Nook 'n' Go) for 500 bells.
The timer has no Silver or Gold varieties. Upon being started, the timer counts down from a limit the player sets (3, 5, 10 or 15 minutes). During this countdown, all players in the town (via Wi-Fi) are able to view the total number of fish and bugs caught by their character as well as other characters in town. When time runs out, the score (total bugs and fish caught during the time) is displayed over each characters' head.
The timer replaces the normal clock on screen while active, preventing the player from being able to see the current time. The timer can be stopped early, but removing it from the character's inventory does not automatically cancel the timer. If other characters in town own a timer, they can also cancel the timer's countdown.
