Welcome to your TOOL||POOL!

This prototype is a community platform for people to share their tools for DIY home-improvement projects. Register if you're not a user already, or just browse all the tools that are available already. You can also offer your own tools for the benefit of your neighbors and local community.

TOOL||POOL helps people to find tools they can borrow, rather than buying them.

Imagine this:

  1. You need a tool that you don't have, let's say a nail gun for a fence, or a tile cutter. Do you really want to go out and buy one, just for this one use? It's expensive and you will probably not need it again for a long time, if ever.
  2. A guy down the road has the tool in his garage. He almost never uses it. You find his tool offered here on the site because he is a member of the TOOL||POOL community. You request to borrow the tool, and he says you can pick it up today after work and return it in a week!
  3. You're happy that you didn't have to buy an expensive tool, and he's happy that his tool doesn't just collect dust.

TOOL||POOL helps people build a positive neighborhood. TOOL||POOL is a volunteer community: there are no fees, no subscriptions, no payments. You just need to supply your own nails, blades, oil, and other consumables. Don't fret about the risk of borrowing your precious tools to strangers—instead, see it as an opportunity to meet new like-minded DIY enthusiasts in your neighborhood!
