That doesn't help me :( I mainly need to know how to rotate the handle. I don't know what any of those things you mentioned are. I know they are properties of tool, but I don't know how to use them. |

| I don't follow. You can't just rotate it like you can any other brick can you? |

| Uhm what I did was I converted the tool's matrix into a CFrame, then rotated it, then made the CFrame's matrix be the tool's. |

| Why not make an invisible handle, weld the tool rotated around the handle, and there you go, rotated tool with upright invisible handle... |

| You have to mess with the numbers. It confuses me too. I haven't really gotten a good explanation of it. |

| ... Can you please just tell me how to rotate the handle in simpler terms? It can't be that complicated to do. Just give me step by step. Can you rotate the handle using those properties of Tool that were mentioned by Mario? |

| Ok, I'll write it, but first, I need to know how many degrees you need to rate on each axis ... |

| Yeah it's all over the place. Every time I change a number it will move to some random place around me head with a random rotation and I just feel like Patrick trying to open a lid with Spongebob saying, "The lid. The lid. The lid. the lid the lid the lid the lid the lid.. -- STOP!" |

| Because the numbers change both, the rotation and the position... I hate rotational matrix, but yeah, it was meant for computers... |

Nonononono!
Don't use CFrames to rotate tools, that's completely stupid.
There's a reason tools have properties to rotate the handle. Use these properties instead of rotating the handle itself.. |
