The "usage of tools" is quite different from "making of tools". The making of tools can be credited to the Homo habilis (the "habilis" there means "man with ability" - of which the major part of it is the ability to make tools).

But before the era of the Homo habilis, earlier species; like the Australopithecus; were seen to be using tools. But these species didn't create those tools; they only used pre-existing objects as tools.

Even way before that, some species used sticks to hunt for termites in holes.. this is also the usage of tools

Hope you're clarified bro?
