The Tool Experience is an American tribute act that performs the full catalogue of progressive rock band Tool, ranging from early records like Undertow and Ænima to the later, more psychedelic material such as Fear Inoculum. The group is the successor to The Perfect Tool: core members Spencer Fenimore (vocals), Steve Kilroy (drums) and Scott Baylard (bass) have continued under this new name since 2026, joined by guitarist Blake Erickson. The band is known for its precise recreation of Tool's technically demanding music paired with an elaborate visual show, and has played numerous European clubs as well as festivals such as Graspop Metal Meeting.
The show in Enschede was moved to a larger venue due to great success.
On 23 August 2026 the band, now renamed The Tool Experience, played at the Cultuurcentrum of Deurne.
The band returned to Europe in April 2026 with a tour celebrating 35 years of Tool, immediately after the name change from The Perfect Tool to The Tool Experience.
The band announced that The Perfect Tool will henceforth go by the name The Tool Experience, with guitarist Blake Erickson as a new addition.
The Tool Experience performs a tribute show spanning Tool's entire catalogue, from raw early tracks to the psychedelic and spiritual work of their later years.
The Tool Experience tribute band returns to Heerlen with a new line-up, performing Tool's hypnotic sound enhanced by lasers and projections.
