Gargoyle tools are not completely unique to Copperbottom's Folly. You can often find them installed on shards throughout the internet. Here we have three gargoyle tools installed:
Gargoyle's Pickaxe - This is a standard UO item. The pickaxe increases the level of ore that may be mined from any location by 1 level (see ore listing in this thread). So, if you have verite ore normally in a vein, using the pickaxe will increase that one level to valorite. Each time you use the pickaxe on a vein of ore, there is a chance you will awaken an elemental of the ore type in the vein. In the case above that would be a valorite elemental. The elemental (when slain) will have ore of that type (as loot) and also has a chance to have a runic hammer of that type.
Gargoyle's Knife - Like the Gargoyle's pickaxe, the Gargoyle's Knife also increases the level of leather you will harvest from a creature. It, however, works slightly different. The knife will yield a higher level of leather, but, there is a chance it will be one of the next X types of leather. Meaning if you skin a creature that should yield barbed leather, you have a chance of getting phosphorus, but, also have a chance of getting the next few higher levels of leather as well. As with the pickaxe, there is a chance (each time you skin using the knife) that you will summon a leather elemental. When slaughtered and skinned, the leather elemental will yield the same type of leather. There is also a chance that a leather elemental will drop a runic sewing kit as loot.
Gargoyle's Axe - The Axe works the same as the pickaxe. It will increase the level of wood by one step and there is a chance to summon a wood elemental. Wood elementals have the same wood type as loot and have a chance to drop runic fletcher's tools as loot.
