Did convicts buy their tools or make them with other tools?
The first tools used by convicts in Australia were supplied by Great Briatin, and brought with the First Fleet. These tools were unsuitable for use, as they broke easily in the hard Australian soil. The tools then needed to be replaced, but there were few convicts in the First Fleet who had the skills for tool-making. They would have used parts of the broken tools to make new ones which would serve them until free tradesmen (and perhaps better skilled convicts in subsequent fleets) arrived in the colony.
