Silver Tool

Silver Tools first appear in Animal Crossing: City Folk as an upgrade to the normal set of tools. Silver tools are harder to obtain than the starter set of tools, but are easier to aquire than the golden variety. Here is a list of the silver tools, and their benefits.

Silver Slingshot
Unlike the normal slingshot, it is made of metal and has a more rectangular shape. It fires two pellets at once and can be bought at Nook's for 500 bells. It is not stocked frequently, however, and is quite rare.

Silver Can
This watering can is the same shape as a normal can, but is made of a brighter metal. It can be obtained from the 'Posy Farm', the florists that supply Tom Nook's store. Once many seeds have been bought from the shop by the Player, the farm sends a letter with the Silver can attached as a thanks for their patronage. The Silver Can can be used to restore wilted red turnips.

Silver Shovel
The Silver shovel entirely metal and can be obtained from Resetti in the City on a random day past 8 p.m. Upon being driven to the city, the Player must travel along the road to the right. If Resetti is in, the cones that usually lie in front of the tunnel will have been moved, and a light will be shining out from within it. Upon entering, the Player will find themselves in a single room with Resseti in. The room itself is Resetti's Headquarters, from where he travels to the towns of other Players that have not saved their games before quitting. If the Player talks to Resetti, he will hand the Player a Silver Shovel in order to get them to leave. The Silver Shovel is used to potentially double the money gained from hitting a Bell Rock.
