Don’t do that, Limit the amount of tools you give to the player.

I want to make it it so only 2 can be equipped

You could just not give the player the tool unless they have less than 2 items in their backpack.

#5 
local player = nil  -- choose what you want

for i, __ in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
	if i <= 2 then
		-- put the give tool script or whatever script here
	end
end

The question is unclear, but I believe what you mean is how can you limit the amount of tools a player has in their inventory. You cannot equip nine tools, you can only equip one, so you probably mean the amount of tools a player has in their inventory. How you can do this is:

local Player -- Make sure you get the player.

for i, Tool in pairs(Player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
    if i > 2 then
        game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(Tool, 0) -- Delete the tool if they have more than two tools in their inventory.
    end
end

Just run that loop everytime a player gets a new tool in their backpack or whenever you wanna check that.

I read over the script you dis fit would delete the tool. Instead of it of it being deleted can it just drop the currently equipment tool

#8

If it can you can do that I hope

Here you go:

local Player -- Make sure you get the player.

for i, Tool in pairs(Player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
    if i > 2 then
        Tool.Parent = workspace
    end
end

If you want it to drop 1 tool instead of all, then:

local Player -- Make sure you get the player.

for i, Tool in pairs(Player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
	if i > 2 then
		for thetool = 1, #Tool do 
			local ToolToDrop = Tool[math.random(#Tool)]
		    ToolToDrop.Parent = workspace
	    end
	end
end
