This is a table for upgrading tools:
Once the tools are upgraded, the upgraded tool (with the exception of the sleeping bags) can be used by holding down the 'B' button. The tool should charge. You should be able to tell what level the tool is charged to by watching a little glowing sphere. As you charge the tool, the sphere grows. Below is a list of what the sphere looks like at different levels.
