First, you should disable the default Roblox backpack system. You can do this through SetCoreGuiEnabled.

StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false)

You can get the tools in a player’s backpack through :GetChildren(), this will return a table of tools the player has in their backpack.
Using UserInputService, you detect when the player presses one of the number keys, and using math.random, we get a random key from the table. Each key representing one of the tools in player backpack.

Pseudo Code

local Tools = {
    [1] = ToolX
    [2] = ToolY
    [3] = ToolZ
}
UserInput Service: Input Began
  if input is a number key then
    -- This gets a random key from the tools table
    -- Min is 0, whereas max is the number of tools available
    local SelectedTool = Tools[math.random(Min, Max)] 
     -- Since backpack is disabled, equip the player manually 
     --by parenting the tool to Character
    SelectedTool.Parent = player Character
  end
end

is this gonna be a local script or a Script, and where do i put this?

It’s a local script, as this manages the player’s backpack, this will be completely client-side.
StarterCharacter is a good place to put it so the script will continue to work even after player resets.
