If tools of trade exemption is 2500.00 for my state, and both my wife and I are filing CH 7, do I get to use her 2500.00 exemption also even if she is a homemaker?

Check with your attorney on that one, every district handles it differently. You can call the trustee's office and ask if you are doing this pro se.
