Redstone Gear
A faster, less durable alternative to iron tools -- but not as fast or fragile as gold.
The armor is fragile, but grants various useful potion effects.
The tools all apply Electrocution for extra damage over time.

Electrocuted
This effect damages you twice per second. The damage starts at 1 (
) and increases by 1 with every level of the effect.
It's applied by being hit by any Redstone tool.
The Electropotion is unobtainable in Survival mode, but its effect cloud can be released by a an Electric Chest Trap. (It inflicts Electrocuted for 8 seconds.)
Obtaining
Smelt Redstone Dust in a furnace to obtain a Redstone Nugget.
Craft 9 Redstone Nuggets together to make a Redstone Ingot.
From there, you can craft the tools and armor like any other material with Redstone Ingots.
Example recipe with a Redstone Pickaxe:
Smelting any Redstone tool or armor yields 1 Redstone Nugget
Crafting either a Redstone Sword or a Redstone axe gives 
Electric Powered Offense.
Crafting any armor piece gives 
Electric Powered Defense.
Having all four armor pieces equipped and all five tools in your inventory at once grants 
Cover Me In Blood Dust.
Having the pickaxe earns 
Isn't It Redstone Pick. (see Isn't It A Pick)
Deep Redstone Block
Crafted with 9 Redstone Ingots.
It behaves like a Redstone Block, but only gives a signal strength of 7.
