Tool Pouch & Crafting Kit


The Tool Pouch and the Crafting Kit are equipment items in Hollow Knight: Silksong used by Hornet. The Tool Pouch holds her Tools and
Shell Shards, and she uses her Crafting Kit to craft stronger Tools.
Function
The Tool Pouch and the Crafting Kit can be upgraded separately up to four times. Each of these upgrades offer different improvements to Hornet's Tools.
Tool Pouch
Tool Pouch upgrades increase the maximum capacity of Shell Shards by
100, starting with a capacity of
400, up to amaximum of
800.
Tool Pouches also increase the maximum capacity of
Red Tools. The increase per pouch varies by Tool and by upgrade, generally being around 25%, with the final upgrade always allowing double the base amount. This effect does not apply to the Rosary Cannon, as its maximum capacity cannot be increased, and the Needle Phial, which has infinite uses.
Repairing any Tool at a bench, except for Rosary Cannon and Flea Brew, costs
40 divided by the Tool's base capacity.
Using the
Shell Satchel, the maximum capacity of Tools can be increased even further depending on the upgrade level.

- ↑ Mort: That pouch of yours... With the scraps left here and a little work, I could add some pockets for you, let you carry more tools and shards while on the road. That'd be nice, wouldn't it?
- ↑ Grindle: You’ve a tool pouch on you? I can add a few pockets so you can carry more tools, and more shards to make’em. My sewing skills are quite renowned in these parts.
- ↑ Loddie: I see you have a tool pouch of your own there. Full to bursting with baubles and trinkets, no doubt! I'll fit another pocket onto it, so you can carry even more tools and shards with you. A fair prize, wouldn't you say?
- ↑ Nuu: And take a gift to help with your huntings, miss grown-up! Nuu will add a pocket to your tool pouch, for bringing of many tools on your hunts!
- ↑ Fleamaster Mooshka: I have been learning to sew, and the little fleas have been gathering materials for me. I thought I could add an extra pocket to your tool pouch, to make your travels just a little easier.
- ↑ Forge Daughter: If you add the implements from this set to your own, the quality of your crafting will increase. You will produce finer, sharper, and deadlier tools... if that is your wish.
- ↑ Creige: As payment goes, I've got something I think you'd make good use of. A spare crafting kit. I'd been holding onto it for someone else, but they've been gone long enough now, I know they won't be returning.
- ↑ Twelfth Architect: Tools of my craft. They could be used to improve your own. Make harder, sharper.
- ↑ Grindle: You're in the habit of craftin' all kinds'a nasty tools'n traps, aint'cha? This kit'll let you build 'em even nastier, heh heh...
