What if someone chops their arm off?
Using tools brings some risks - we've had the legal advice and have insurance for coverage. When you borrow a tool, we'll ask you if you are capable of using it safely, and you'll sign a waiver. Once you've done that, your safety is your responsibility.
What happens if I break a tool?
Depends on the context here - if you've obviously behaved like a numpty and used it innaproriately, you'll have to pay for it. If it just gives up the ghost, we'll use our warranties to sort it out. We'll be asking for a gold coin donation if the tool uses consumables (like saw blades or drill bits) when they go blunt or break.
How will I book a tool?
We' use an online platform for tool booking. Its called My Turn and its designed specifically for Libraries like ours. *if you don't have the internet, you can borrow at the door.\ during opening hours. Once you've booked it you can pick it up during opening hours.
When will you be open?
We are open Saturday and Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings
Can I donate a tool?
The basic answer, we are sorry to say, is no. We need high quality gear with compatible batteries that won't electrocute anyone to make the Library manageable. If you have a high quality hand tool that you'd like to donate, that might be cool - but please don't be offended if we can't take it. Watch out for our requests for targetted donations.
What happens if I return it late?
If a tool isnt booked, you can rebook it out. If someone has it booked and you return it late, that would really suck.. We'll give you a call to work out what's happening and see if we can help get the tool returned.
Do you need any volunteers?
Right now, we have a solid crew, but please reach out if you think you have something to offer.
