Tool belt

The Toolbelt is a utility belt or toolkit which can be accessed in the Worn Equipment screen. Players can put their basic tools in it, such as pickaxe, hatchet, hammer, tinderbox, fishing rods, crafting & farming tools, therefore freeing up precious inventory slots. It was first mentioned in the December 2011 Behind-The-Scene news article. It was released on 6 December 2011 along with the Money Pouch. It has no requirements, and itself, does not take up any inventory space, nor does it contribute towards the player's weight. Simply put your tools in your inventory first, then right-click and add them to the toolbelt. Once the items are added, it remains there and cannot be retrieved. Upon death, all items in the toolbelt are retained. This is true even when the player is skulled and dies in the wilderness.

Players would then able to just point and single-click on resources instead of, for example, using the tinderbox on every log.

Currently, only the bronze type of the pickaxe and hatchet can be added (not steel, mithril and so on).

Usage
Once an item is added to the toolbelt, actions that would normally require using a tool on an item become options on the item to be manipulated. For example, once a tinderbox is added to the toolbelt, a right-click option called Light is available on logs to use the stored tinderbox. This changes the left-click option of many items, like Unicorn Horns, so be careful about accidentally using an item.

Free-to-play tools are available for use on free-to-play servers. Thus, as an example, a free-player may light logs using a stored tinderbox, saving bank space on the numerous tools used.

Trivia

 * On the day of release a new task, Shear Convenience was added into Lumbridge/Draynor Beginner Tasks to introduce the toolbelt to players.
 * Spades stored on toolbelts can't be used for activities such as Barrows and Treasure Trails.
 * In the quest Lost City you couldn't take hatchets, but now with the toolbelt you can equip it and board the ship. This saves you from having to attack zombies. This was intentional.
 * If your character has the requirements to catch fish Barehanded, you will do so instead of using your tool for catching the fish.
 * You cannot use the knife on the toolbelt to skin dead giant snakes in Temple Trekking/Burgh de Rott Ramble. This is probably a bug.
 * You cannot add Magic Secateurs to the toolbelt.
 * Any item you put in your toolbelt has its weight reduced to 0.
 * In The Dig Site quest the tinderbox in a toolbelt cannot be used to light the chemical soaked bricks at the end of the quest, as there is no light option when someone right clicks on the rocks.
 * The Chisel cannot be used on the Bone Shard in order to make the Bone Key during the Shilo Village Quest.
 * In Horror From The Deep, you can't light the lighthouse with the tinderbox in the toolbelt because there is no light option when someone right clicks on the beacon.
 * You cannot add a sextant to the toolbelt even though it is required along with the watch and chart for clue scrolls. This is likely because the sextant is supposed to be used to locate the clue.
