Free Tool Rentals Help You Save
I don’t know about you, but my toolkit consists of a random assortment of screws, a hammer and a butter knife that I used to assemble my IKEA bookcase. Buying tools is not in my budget, but in Portland I don’t have to worry about bumming tools off a neighbor or paying to rent them at a home improvement store.
Portland’s tool libraries offer free tool rentals to local homeowners, renters, businesses and community groups, saving us all thousands of dollars every year in tool purchases and pricey rentals.
As you plan for your next home or community improvement project, check out your nearest Portland tool library. There is even a group that shares kitchen supplies! See the hours and locations below.
