How can i achieve this, i already tried to match names but i had two issues, first the name matching just didnt work even tho it was the same and also tools may have the same name but look different in my game. Im guessing you can not pass objects though remote events so im not sure what to do?

let me send

Local script in gui, so the Tool.Value is a object value that holds the tool

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local equipToolEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Remotes"):WaitForChild("EquipToolEvent")

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local Tool = script.Parent.Parent.CurrentEquipedTool
local button = script.Parent

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    equipToolEvent:FireServer(Tool.Value)
end)```
Handler
```lua
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ToolManager = require(ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ToolManager"))
local remote = ReplicatedStorage.Remotes:WaitForChild("EquipToolEvent")

remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, tool)
    print("Recieved")
    ToolManager:EquipTool(player, tool)
end)

/

local ToolManager = {}

function ToolManager:EquipTool(player, tool)
    print("Tool Manager Runned")

    local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
    local backpack = player:FindFirstChild("Backpack")
    if not backpack then 
        warn("No backpack found")
        return 
    end

    for _, item in ipairs(character:GetChildren()) do
        if item:IsA("Tool") and item ~= tool then
            item.Parent = backpack
        end
    end

    tool.Parent = character
    print("Equipped:", tool.Name)
end

return ToolManager
