Uploaded files are contained in request.FILES with the key corresponding to the name attribute on the input element.

So you should add a name attribute to your input:

<input type="file" name="toolicon" ...

And then access the data using request.FILES:

tool_icon = request.FILES.get('toolicon', '')

The request must have a content type of multipart/form-data which you should set on your form:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" ...
