Yes, the chimpanzees can be trained to hold and use tools. They are quick learners and can be taught many things.
Yes, they can because, like human beings, they have what is called the "opposable thumb". This means that they can place their thumbs opposite their fingers (with the thumb lying across the palm of the hand. They can also make a fist. This human type of hand enables them to hammer with the fist, to pick things up between finger and thumb, to hold their babies, to grasp a tree branch, to hammer with a rock and, in general do whatever hands enable we humans to do.

∙ 10y agoYes, Capuchin monkeys use tools.
They are one of the most intelligent species of monkey on the planet. Their tool-using behaviour and incredible intelligence has astonished scientists for years, ever since they were discovered.
Capuchins will use rocks to smash open nuts. They will rub prickly caterpillars on trees to remove their spikes. They use branches and twigs to insert into crevices to capture food. They wrap leaves around their hands like gloves when handling biting insects, pricky caterpillars and thorny plants. And they will also even whack predators such as snakes with sticks to scare them off (or, in rare cases, crush them to death by smashing their skull with a rock).
