We want to make it as easy as possible for you to complete your projects. Your yearly membership gives you unlimited access to our libraries without any fees for the tools you borrow. We do, however, charge a nominal fee for consumable parts (sand belts, drill bits, hardware, etc.) but these items are priced much lower than a retail store. Occasionally you may be asked to leave a deposit for some of our more valuable tools but this will be refunded to you when you return the tool(s).

If for any reason you are unsatisfied with your membership (even if you haven’t used it yet), we will refund your purchase price minus the number of days you have held your membership plus a $20 processing fee.

We have a lot to do, and we would really appreciate your contribution. Please visit our volunteer page to sign up.

Our tools may only be used by members who are 18 years of age or older, and have paid any outstanding late fees. For liability reasons, members agree not to permit the use of tools checked out by him/her to any other person. 

If members of your family or business are included on your membership and liability forms, they may make use of your membership.

Tools may be borrowed for up to five days, but members are encouraged to return tools as soon as they are finished using them. Late fines of $2/day for power tools and $1/day for hand tools apply to any tool returned past its due date. 

Yes! In-stock tools may be put on hold, by telephone or in person, on the same day of checkout. We levy a $5 fee on any held tool that isn’t picked up before shop closing time. Holds will not be administered via email.

Renewals will not be available on loans. This policy is to ensure consistent borrowing practices and tool availability for all members.  Late fees will apply to overdue items.

We cannot guarantee that rechargeable batteries (on saws, drills, etc) will be fully charged when tools are loaned out. Likewise, members are not expected to return tools with fully charged batteries. This policy is in place to extend the life of our batteries by ensuring that they are not being over-charged.

We ask that gas tanks be filled to the same level as when you received the tool. A $5 fee will be applied to any rental when the gas tank has not been refilled.

Before borrowing and returning tools, the Tool Library volunteers/staff inspect tools for safety hazards and any damage. All tools are to be returned clean and in the same condition as they were issued, barring normal wear and tear. Members will be charged for any damages beyond normal wear and tear, or the loss of an item. 

Whether you pay online or at our location, we start your membership from the date of your first tool rental or shop visit.

Simple… We want you to save money. Not everyone needs access to everything, so we’ve divided up the categories to save you money. If you want access to everything, we’ve created a package price for you.

The list can be found on our home page or by clicking here.

Yes, we do! We provide regular workshops on tool use and building skills. We will post a schedule online shortly that describes our events. If you have an idea or request for a workshop, please contact us so that we can make it happen.
