Any advice on how to make the tool animations line up with the character animations?

If you're using Godot, the intended approach is to handle this via code:

Add a Sprite2D as a child of the character sprite to represent the tool.
Display the tool only when the attack animation is active.
Synchronize the frames between the character's sprite sheet and the tool (Sprite2D nodes have a `frame_coords` property that makes this easier).

Let me know if you run into any difficulties or have any other questions!

With each tool having it's own sprite sheet would we add a child node for each tool?

You can simply change the tool sprite's texture to match the currently selected tool via code (since they are all aligned the same way)
