Why doesnt it fire

[amber sentinel]

when i unequip a tool it doesnt print or change the value

[crisp pumice]

Shouldnt it be child.Parent:IsA("Tool") ?

[amber sentinel]

No because the child is a tool from the backpack so the parent would be a backpack

[rose finch]

for debugging, add a print directly under the function, that way it prints anyhting not just tool items, then see

also check output for errors, and share them here plss

[rose finch]

also when a tool is picked up (assuming its being picked up?) it automatically is in the hand rather the backpack so the tool would be under the characters model, only when its not being held its in the backpack

ex:

game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
    print(child, "has entered the backpack")
    if child:IsA("Tool") then
        warn("This is a tool! Currently in the backpack and is not being held.")
    end
end)

game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack.ChildRemoved:Connect(function(child)
    print(child, "has left the backpack")
    if child:IsA("Tool") then
        warn("This tool! And now its gone, or being held.")
    end
end)

not sure if that info changes the problem...
