Alder Street Tool Library

Borrow the tool. Skip the purchase.

We are a free, volunteer-run lending library for hand tools, power tools and a few odd useful things. If you live or work nearby, you can join at the desk in about five minutes.

This month: the tile cutter is back from repair, both post hole diggers are in, and we are short on 5 mm hex keys again. If you find one in your pocket, you know where it lives.

What we are not

We are not a rental shop and we cannot deliver. We do not lend chainsaws, nail guns or anything that burns fuel. Insurance decided that for us.
