Rope constraint stretching out my tool when being held

I just made a tool that uses rope constraints. For some reason, when you pick it up the two other parts connected to the constraint get stretched out.

There are only 3 parts in the tool: the handle you grab it from and the two connectors. Here is the video of the bug occurring:

I haven’t seen anyone talking about this because it is so oddly specific. I’m not even sure if this is a bug or if it is intentional. If anyone could help me figure this out or try to find a workaround, I would appreciate it!

It might also have to do with my script for picking up the tool, but I am not sure.

script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
if player.Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool") then
		player.Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool").Parent = player.Backpack
	end
	script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent = player.Character
	while true do
		if player.Character:FindFirstChild("Wire") then
			script.Parent.Enabled = false
			script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Connector1.CanCollide = false
			script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Connector2.CanCollide = false
		else
			script.Parent.Enabled = true
			script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Connector1.CanCollide = true
			script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Connector2.CanCollide = true
		end
		wait(0.1)
	end
end)

Could you send the tool as a rbxm file to have a look at it? Will try and repo the bug on my place

I’ve never sent a rbxm file before so I hope that this is what you need.

Also, I have custom proximity prompts in my game so if the pickup prompt isn’t there, you can just set the style to default so it’s usable.

Noticed you had the size set to different values on balls. I think it’s being affected by the humanoid scale. Probably a roblox bug, but fixed it by setting all 3 (x, y, z) size values the same number
