I wonder if you mean weapons, rather than tools?

The majority of ancient Egyptian infantry soldiers carried a simple spear with a bronze or copper head, plus a shield of wood and cow-hide. Some carried axes or knives as secondary weapons; there were also war-clubs and throwing-sticks.

Light troops included archers, slingers and javelin-throwers; these were often mercenary or auxiliary soldiers from conquered or allied nations.

Swords were less common, being used mainly by officers, bodyguard units, marines, units of priestly warriors and so on.
