So ive seen a couple videos on how to save/load tools, and ive tried it myself everything works, but i only want it to give on join and not keep the same when you respawn (the videos say to clone and put into start pack) i tried removing that line and then it doesnt give me the tools at all, could anyone help with this? thank you
This is happening because you are putting the tools in StarterPack. Instead, you should put the tools in the player’s Backpack.
When the player dies, their Backpack will be reset, so the tools should be gone.
ive tried doing that before, removing the line where i put in starter pack, and the script wouldnt give me any items at all, but thanks for the help i jsut figured it out 
I was able to, instead of cloning a tool from ReplicatedStorage, i created a new tool instance in the backpack and cloning the tool object from ReplicatedStorage and called it Handle
