In addition to the regular tools sold by Nook, there are two variant tools that are obtainable in Animal Crossing: City Folk. Unlock the different types of tools to make your responsibilities around the town quicker and easier. Below is a Animal Crossing: City Folk Equipment guide that will guide you through getting silver and golden tools in City Folk.
Visit the city at night (After 8:00 PM) and go to the right. There is a random chance that two of the traffic cones there will be removed, allowing you to walk in. You will enter the Resetti Surveillance Center. Talk to the Resetti stationed there, and they will give you the Silver Shovel to leave. The Silver Shovel has a chance to double the amount of money gained from the money rock. Increased Feng Shui also has the effect of making the odds of doubling higher.
The golden shovel is obtained by burying a previous shovel. If the tree grows all the way, you can shake it to obtain a special golden shovel! The golden shovel can plant money trees, although it does not retain the abilities of the silver shovel.
The Silver Fishing Rod is sold on rare occasions at Nook's Shop after you have upgraded it to at least a Nook N' Go. This rod makes it slightly easier to catch fish.
The Golden Fishing Rod is obtained by catching every fish in the game. After you have completed this, Tortimer will give you your reward. This rod makes it significantly easier to catch fish, with a lower chance of them escaping.
The Silver Net is sold rarely at Nook's shop after you have upgraded it to at least a Nook N' Go. This net has a slightly larger bug catching radius.
The Golden Net is obtained by catching every bug in the game. After you have done this, Tortimer will give you your reward. The golden net has a significantly larger bug catching radius.
After you have donated 700,000 to the town fund, a fountain will be built in front of the bus stop. Throw in a regular axe, and depending on your luck and your answers to Serena's questions, you will get a silver axe. This axe never breaks.
This axe is obtained in a similar manner to the silver axe. It all depends on how you answer Serena. This axe never breaks and chops faster.
The Silver slingshot is is sold rarely at Nook's shop after you have upgraded it to at least a Nook N' Go. This slingshot shoots two pebbles at once.
The golden slingshot is shot down after having shot down 8 normal balloons. The golden slingshot is carried by three golden balloons. If you miss your chance to hit the golden slingshot, you will need to shoot down another 8 normal balloons. This slingshot shoots three pebbles at once.
The silver watering can is mailed to you after buying 50 flower seeds from Tom Nook's store. This can increases the chance for hybrid flowers and money trees to grow.
The golden watering can is obtained by maintaining a perfect town environment status for 15 days. Much like the silver can, this watering can increases the chances for hybrid flowers and money trees to grow.
