Silver tool

Silver tools are items found in Animal Crossing: City Folk and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. The items are the silver axe, net, slingshot, can, shovel, and rod. They have better attributes than the original tools, but are generally easier to obtain and less powerful than golden tools.

List of silver tools

Silver axe

The silver axe is a tool that compared to the regular axe is more durable, except in City Folk where it is unbreakable. In Animal Crossing: City Folk, the player has to throw their axe into the town's fountain in order to summon Serena, who has a chance to give the player the silver axe.

In New Leaf, the silver axe can be purchased from the Souvenir Shop for  8 medals. The silver axe can be used 136 times to hit trees or rocks. It is also faster than the regular axe and will always leave special stump designs when chopping down trees.

Silver can

The silver can is a tool that compared to the regular watering can has unique perks when watering. In City Folk, the silver can will be mailed to the player by Posy Farm the next day after purchasing 50 flower seeds from Tom Nook's store. It can be used to revive wilted red turnips, although this will cause them to shrink back to their smallest size.

In New Leaf, the silver can can be obtained from Leif after purchasing 50 flower seeds from his store. It can water up to five flowers at once (the regular watering can will only water flowers on the space the player is standing on.)
