Found this on the Widecombe in the moor website:
A success story on Dartmoor was the Hooper family who made Nuns Cross Farm, near Foxtor Mire. Crossing wrote in 1903 "It is surprising what can be done even on Dartmoor with perseverance. I remember very well when John Hooper enclosed the little farm at Nuns Cross, and he told me not long afterwards that by the time he had got his walls and his tiny dwelling, and bought a cow, his limited capital had disappeared, or as his wife more forcibly put it, he possessed no more than "fourpence hap'ny" to go on with. Yet he did very well there. During the latter part of his life he was able to sell £100 worth of cattle yearly, which considering the size of his place, was most satisfactory, but he worked hard, for though not a Dartmoor man born, he possessed all the instincts of one".

Did middle age nuns have tools?
I assume you mean in the Middle Ages or Medieval or ( dark) ages, not an age bracket of say fifty-plus. The answer is yes, as the nuns sustained themselves economically in various forms of agriculture and gardening, and implements were needed to pracftice this art. Some of the gardens were small but productive. So they would have to use garden or farm tools such as hoes, plows, etc. Some may have raised livestock such as cattle- yes in a sense Dairy farm nuns- please do not say cowgirls. Some rustic nuns even rode horseback on these establishments in South America., a religious comic book called the Treasure Chest had an eye-cathing cover of the ( Cowgirl Nuns of South America) in one issue- relax, it is not a normal practice.
