University Heights Tool Library

The University Heights Tool Library is exactly what it sounds like — a place where you can borrow tools.
Things I have borrowed: Paint rollers, paint trays, plastic rake, power drill, hacksaw, blah blah blah. The list goes on.
It costs $ 10 a year to join. Once you’re a member, you can borrow tools for free for a week (with renewal available). The volunteers who staff the library are always super-​helpful. The tools aren’t all brand new or anything, but they have a really good variety. I’ve always been able to find the right items to get the job done.
Great place to go if you need a power drill or some other item that you’re only going to use a few times. Highly recommended!
I would suggest watching the website/​Facebook page closely if you’re planning to visit. Since it’s volunteer-​run, the hours sometimes vary when new volunteers sign on or drop off.
As an added bonus, the people who operate this place have also been very involved in organizing/​executing neighborhood events such as park cleanups, holiday storefront lightings and tree plantings. A wonderful asset to have in the Heights.
