I was trying to figure how these work since there are no guides online. So here are my notes:

Dwarven Tools
Dwarven tools can double the base xp or double the resources at the cost of forfeiting xp. If you are looking for best xp, for example, from a dwarven fishing extractor, Wobbegongs and fishing frenzy arn't the best places to use them. This is because dwarven tools are hit by the same restrictions as double xp, and on dxp actually can't be used at all, so at fishing frenzy the multiplier xp is not doubled, only the base amount is doubled per catch. Wobbegongs, while best for double resources due to their desirability with soups, suffer from lower base xp (240) vs sailfish (400xp per or 420 from swift).

Dwarven tools stack with gloves from fist of guthix. The wiki says that doubled xp is applied before the gloves. So, the best use of the extractor would be to get fog gloves(i.e. rocktail gloves) and use the tool with a divine bubble as a daily. Vis wax extends your max, which increases rates. Divine locations are much faster than fishing normally, which is why rates are much higher using them over regular fishing. You can collect 100 resources per tool.

Broken down, a single charge of a fishing extractor using this method and accounting only base xp:
Rocktail divine bubble (380xp each rocktail)
Rocktail gloves (150xp)
(380*2)+150=910xp each.

vs sailfish (400-420 base, 800-840 doubled)

So, in theory, again using base xp with no xp boosts:
Ramhammer (does NOT work on divine locations): Alaea Sea Salt (692.5xp/each, 1385 doubled)

Chainaxe (Works on divine locations): Golden Bamboo (655.5 base, 1311 doubled)

Harvester : Check here for gp/xp of herbs for double resource mode: https://runescape.wiki/w/Calculator:Farming/Herbs (with leafy pots from POF)
or Xp Mode: Highest xp of check health from tree or cacti

Excavator: Highest excavation site.

Hope this helps! I had a hell of a time trying to figure out how Dwarven tools work.

If anyone has any data confirmed/refuting this or found better methods would love to hear about it. I did this while trying to figure out best places to use my own dwarven tools.

Thanks!
