Well, you can use several aproachs to create what you need.
I think the best way is to create a weapon/tool component in your character and asign it to a hand socket.
Then, when you click on the key numbers, you can replace the skeletal or static mesh you used in that component, to show your actual weapon/tool.
Of course you will nedd to change some beheviours or animations depending of the weapon/tool selected.
