RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player: Player, event: string)
	if event == "Archivable/true" then
		player.Character.Tool.Handle.BrickColor = BrickColor.Green()
		player.Character.Tool.Archivable = true

Not too surprising given there is no cloned extra tool for the grip. Where is your desired change?
How the attachment grip works? I would assume that if you remove the RightGrip weld on the clone
and place the clone at a sufficient distance, that the problem would go away.

Hey! Again, sorry for the even more late reply, but I got a chance to review your report!

You are correct in that the clone’s right hand has a weld to connect to the tool.

The solution for this is to do something along the lines of:

player.Character.RightHand.RightGrip.Archivable = false

in order to disable cloning of the weld (or, as Club_Moo suggested, deleting the weld on the clone).

If you do this, you don’t end up with that issue. The behavior you described, with Archivable set to False for the Tool, and not for the Weld, is intentional.

If you have any further questions or need clarification, please feel free to ask.
