Golden Tools are twice as fast as Diamond Tools, with the exception of the Golden Sword, which does not do the same amount of damage as a Diamond Sword (and thus is slower to kill Mobs). Golden Tools also get better Enchantments than any other Tools.
All Tools, with the exception of a Compass, a Map, a Clock, and a Glass Bottle, can be Enchanted as of Update 0.12.1 with effects like Efficiency, Infinity, Unbreaking, etc.
Most Tools have a limited Durability depending on the tier, or having a fixed amount of uses.
