Tools & Accessories - Power - Working

Power and hand-held tools are machines with a very hard, durable plastic exterior with metal and small plastic parts inside.

Consider loaning or donating tools to your community.

Excited to start a DIY project but need to borrow a sander or drill? Do you need a pair of loppers to trim your fruit trees? Several cities have tool lending libraries where residents can rent a variety of tools for 1-3 weeks at a time while participating in a circular and sharing economy. Alameda County Tool Libraries
