I don't understand how Thieves' Tools work in this game (pawb.social)

Like, you can consume one to reroll a lockpicking check. That bit makes sense.

But also sometimes you'll pick a lock, not reroll, and it'll consume one of your tools anyway.

Same thing with trap disarming kits.

Do they have a 'durability %' that is just hidden to the player? Does it relate to the difficulty of the lock itself?

Sometimes I'll pick seven doors without a single one being consumed, and sometimes three of them will be consumed in a row.... ?

I don't get it, and I found no explanation for it anywhere in the game.

On the other hand, my Warlock who coincidentally has the best dex in my party, has been burning through Thieves' Tools like there's no tomorrow, since no one has Slight of Hand and I can't be bothered to go back to camp for Astarion unless I'm doing stuff I know involves him. :P I miss Shadowheart having the Urchin background. :P
