You can disable the normal Roblox backpack, and equip the tool with humanoid instance,

Humanoid:EquipTool(InstanceTool)

If you disable default roblox backpack, they can’t equip other tool or unequip the current one!

So if a tool is unequipped you want to equip it back. Just listen for its AncestryChanged event on the server:

local tool = -- your tool
local character

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    character = tool.Parent
end)

tool.AncestryChanged:Connect(function(_, parent)
    tool.Parent = character
end)

And yes this is from a server script

Looks like when AncestryChanged fired, the tool was still “in the process of being re-parented”. Perhaps try waiting a heartbeat:

RunService.Heartbeat:Wait()
tool.Parent = character

local Tool = script.Parent

local LocalPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer

while wait() do

if Tool.Unequipped then

LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:EquipTool(Tool)

end

end
