What is a Tool Library?

Tool libraries are just like traditional libraries, but with tools instead of books.

Why would I want to use a Tool Library?

TLs are a great resource for people who can’t (or don’t want to) buy tools they are only going to use once in a while.

Maybe you need a tile cutter for a kitchen remodel. Come borrow ours. How about a miter saw to build that treehouse? We’ve got 2! Want to fertilize or reseed your lawn? Use one of our spreaders.
