I believe the answer is:

picks

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'selects' is the first definition.
(picking is a kind of selecting)

'simple tools' is the second definition.
'picks' can be an answer for 'tools' (pick is a kind of tool). I am not certain of the 'simple' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for picks that I've seen before include "More than one tool" , "Goes for" , "Choices" , "tools for breaking up rock" , "Chooses - tools for breaking rocks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
