Essential 'Tools' (z-T) for your dwarves include 'Picks' for miners, 'Axes' for woodcutters, and 'Sickles' for farmers. These can be crafted at a 'Metalsmith's Forge' (b-w-f) from various metals or purchased from caravans. 'Buckets' (b-j-b) are used for hauling water, and 'Wheelbarrows' (b-j-w) for efficient bulk hauling. 'Crutches' (b-j-c) and 'Splints' (b-j-s) are vital for injured dwarves in your 'Hospital' (b-r-h).
