Try putting a script inside the “Handle” and put this script in

local tool = script.Parent.Parent
local click = script.Parent.ClickDetector

local function pickup(player)
  tool.Parent = game.Workspace[player.Name]
end

click.MouseClick:Connect(pickup)

You should use replicated storage. Put the tool in a folder under replicated storage. Here is an example script from my shop script:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(click)
	if player.leaderstats.Coins.Value >= 50 then
		player.leaderstats.Coins.Value=player.leaderstats.Coins.Value-50
		
	game.ReplicatedStorage.Swords.CopperGreat:Clone().Parent = player:WaitForChild("Backpack")
	end
end)

Edit: Sword is the name of the folder, CopperGreat is the tool.

Simple as this:

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function(player)
    game.ServerStorage.Tool:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
end)

It is better if you clone the tool from ReplicatedStorage rather than ServerStorage, since it is accessible through both scripts. However it could do.

local CD = game.Workspace.Part.ClickDetector
CD.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
  local tool = game.ServerStorage["Tool"] --game.ReplicatedStorage can work also
  tool:Clone().Parent = workspace[player] --or player.Backpack
end)
