Either use datastore so it saves across servers and then use .CharacterAdded or StarterPack to add the tool to the player when they join.

You need to connect an event when the Player joins the game, then another connect another event for when the character spawns (within the first event):

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function onCharacterAdded(player)
	local character = player.Character
	local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
	if humanoid then
		local lastTool = player.LastTool.Value -- This is a Value added to the Player that I retrieve in the data load
		humanoid:EquipTool(lastTool)
	end
end

local function playerAdded(player)
	-- You would load you data here for Tools bought and last Tool equipped
	-- I tend to write the equipped Tool data to Values under the Player
	-- Save & Load of the Data needs to be handled using DataStore or ProfileService or some such
-- THE CHARACTER JOINED CONNECT - THIS REPEATS ON RESPAWN
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
		onCharacterAdded(player)
	end)
end

-- THE PLAYER JOINED CONNECT
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	playerAdded(player)
end)

I use ProfileService for data storage to store what items the player has bought and what the last Tool equipped was:

I used these 2 vids to figure out how to implement ProfileService:
