forgive me if the title is cryptic, first of all...

a friend has some tools, i have some tools, and a mutual friend has very few. i know we can't sell (or gift) our UNUSED tools to our friend, and i know we can 'gift' her tools from the store, that's not an issue... what we want to know is, can a tool be gifted to someone if said tool requires an already-existing one, but the recipient doesn't have the first one? ie could one of us gift gift our friend a 10x10 harvest/plow/plant tool, if she doesn't have any of the tools that the 10x10 tools require?

The simple answer is no. In fact the store will not let you send a tool if they do not have the required previous tools.

When someone hires me to work on their farm, how can I tell which tools they have that I can use? For example, if I am hired to harvest, all the harvesters and combines show up in the tool box and I have to click on each one to see if I can use it. Is there a better way to know which tools are available to me?

Right now there is no easier way to see which tools you can use except for trying each tool unless you can ask the person which tools they have. In future releases they hope to have the ability to only show which tools are available.

If someone wants to use my tools, does anyone know what I need to do to let them?

When you hire on either the single hire or the multiple jobs hire there is a check box for you to indicate whether you allow them to use your tools.

Do you own a harvester or seeder? You must own one of these two tools in order to use the fuel station, the tools can be coin tools or FC tools.

I have suggestions for a few new tools.

Suggestion by Stan Sansom (aka - Southern_Wolf) on 2-10-2014 @ approximately 6:25 p.m. Central Time Zone and I would appreciate credit for my ideas.

I suggest making a tool (tree spade and planter) that allows a farmer to move trees (plural) when rearranging farm(s) or after a farmer buys more farm land and increases their farm size. This could be a set of tools that increase in size - just like the plows, harvesters, planters. A farmer should be allowed to move trees in bulk amounts around on their farm or into storage. If done properly it would be tools that that could make money for FT.
A similar tool or tools should be developed for moving flowers.
The tool(s) need to be able to simply move the flowers around on the farm or to place them in storage for future use.
