Tools are objects used for mundane purposes by civilians and night creatures. Some tools can also be used as weapons, though it is usually much better to use, say, a sword over a carving fork. Other tools can be used by your dwarves in fortress mode.
You can select these tools as starting equipment, if your adventurer hails from a human civilisation.
