The strongest metal known to the Egyptians was copper. this was used for most of the stone work, mainly limestone. The most common copper tool was a chisel, which had to be sharpened constantly, as it blunted easily. Stone cutting for the red granite from Aswan is mainly a mystery. It is most commonly believed that they used that same granite and rubbed it with sand. This was a long process, so only the rich could afford it. The pyramid of Menkare, the smallest of the Giza pyramids, was originally cased with red granite. Many 18th dynasty obelisks were made from the Aswan granite. Farm tools consisted of mainly hoes and a form of a sythe. These tools remain largely unchanged in Egypt today.

Take a look at Digital Egypt for Universities, run by University College London, there are a number of entries in the index for tools from various periods, including photos.

Scroll down to "tools" and click the links.
No photos of tools, but an article on Tour Egypt about construction talks briefly about tools.

There are a number of theories. I think some might be correct but most are probably wrong. I think, in general, most people do not really have a clue...
I think Graham Hancock, although not so widely accepted, has some of the best theories about Ancient Egyptian tools.
