Tools in Stardew Valley

All Stardew Valley tools with item IDs — axes, picks, hoes, watering cans, scythes, and special tools like the Pan and the Auto-Petter components.

How to spawn items

Vanilla, no edits

Character name. When creating a new save, name your character with up to three item IDs in square brackets, e.g. [16][66][72]. Every time a villager mentions your name in dialogue, those items spawn into your inventory. Character names lock to one set per save, so you're stuck with whatever three you pick.

Early-game trigger trick: call Gus by phone (or visit Pierre before noon) — both reliably say your name back to you. Once you unlock the movie theater, inviting Jodi with a Love Concession is the fastest repeatable trigger.

Pet or animal name. Buy an animal from Marnie's Ranch (a chicken is cheapest) or a pet, then name it with the item ID(s) in square brackets. You receive the items right after confirming the name. Repeat with another animal for different items.

If your code is longer than Marnie's name box allows, you can bypass the character limit by inserting line breaks with dialogue commands — handy when stacking many IDs at once.

How Tools IDs work

Every Tools entry uses the qualified ID form (T)Axe. The (T) prefix tells Stardew Valley which item type the ID belongs to — the same ID can exist in more than one type at once, so the prefix is what makes it unambiguous.

This page lists all 37 Tools entries in the vanilla game.

How to spawn Tools

The naming cheat cannot spawn Tools. Naming an animal [(T)Axe] does nothing at all — no error, no item — because the game only reads bare numeric object IDs out of a name. Enable chat cheats on your save instead, then run /debug iq ALL_ITEMS (T) in the in-game chat to pick any Tools item straight out of the browser.
