What is Tool Share?

Tool Share works just like a library where you can find the tools you need, loan them out, and host a party or get your home DIY projects started. Why buy new when you can borrow? It is a no brainer! With Tool Share you will find garden equipment, kitchen appliances, hand and power tools, a gazebo, pizza oven and PA system. It is all there.

Tool Share is available to anyone and everyone. Memberships cost £15 per year.

Here’s some important information about our toolshare process: If you place a toolshare order before Wednesday of the week, we will confirm your order and send you an email specifying the locker where your items will be available for pickup on either Thursday or Friday. However, if you place an order after Wednesday, it will be approved in the following week.

Create an account and pay to become a member.
Reserve tools by Wednesday to ensure they are available for you to collect on Thursday or Friday.
You can loan up to 5 tools for a 13 day period. Tools can be renewed twice.
We will send you a message notifying you that your tools are ready for collection. The message includes locations, locker number and lock code.
Return your tools to the same locker.

We are moving away from a face-to-face system – with lockers at the Student’s Union and North East Fife Community Hub – to give you more flexibility and accessibility. After you reservation is confirmed, you will receive an email detailing a locker number and lock code. Over the duration of the loan the same locker will remain empty so you can return your tool(s) using the same lock code. 

See what power tools, hand tools, garden equipment and kitchen appliances are available for loaning. The long list includes a PA system, pizza oven, gazebo and beach chairs!
