Keigo ftl

This sentence wants to say:

I'm sorry, but I don't want (you) to use that tool.

つかう(use) + ない(not) = つかわない つかわ is a conjugated form, which is used with ない.

Literally, it says "(I) want (you) not to use that tool".

Don't delve into thinking too much about the meaning of ほしい here

~ないでほしい is just a very very formal way of saying ~ないでください. It's Keigo. You can tell the sentence is already very formal from the use of もうしわけない, thus the use of ~ないでほしい is very natural here and keeping the formalities in all parts of the sentence consistent. もうしわけない doesn't go that well with てください

Another alternate and equally formal version of ~ないでほしい is ~ないでもらいたい
