The invention relates to a tool location system for a handheld tool in a manufacturing environment, wherein the tool is equipped with a camera for capturing images. According to the invention, the location system comprises numerical evaluator means, which is built to determine a tool-location of the tool by a simultaneous location and mapping (SLAM) navigation calculation based on the images from the camera. Therein the tool-location is determined with respect to a global coordinate system in relation to the manufacturing environment from portions of the images which comprise a view of the manufacturing environment and the tool-location is determined with respect to a local coordinate system in relation to the workpiece from portions of the images which comprise a view of the workpiece.
