The utility model discloses a tool circulation device. The tool circulation device is characterized by comprising a left support, a right support, a motor, a driving chain wheel shaft, first bearing pedestals, a driving chain wheel, a driven chain wheel shaft, second bearing pedestals, a driven chain wheel, a chain and movable installation plates. According to the tool circulation device, the driving chain wheel is driven by the motor fixed to the right support to rotate, power is transmitted to the driven chain wheel through the chain, and clamp fixing plates are installed on all chain links of the chain respectively. When the tool circulation device is used, tools are installed on the clamp fixing plates so that the circulation of the tools can be achieved; the center distance between the driven chain wheel and the driving chain wheel can be adjusted, and therefore the chain can be in the tensioned state in real time, and the positioning accuracy of the tools is improved; the tool circulation device can be installed on parts on the tools in a transmission mode in the tool circulation process, repeated positioning and installing of the parts are avoided, and the machining efficiency is improved.
