Tool Donations

We accept donations of working tools anytime!

Tools may be put into Inventory for other members to use, sold to help support our operations, or used for parts.

You can drop off tool donations during our open hours or use the form below to schedule a pickup or drop off time. If you have a large quantity or unique tools, we appreciate the heads up!

Unfortunately, due to our ongoing maintenance needs and limited volunteers, we are usually unable to accept items in need of repair. But, if you think you may have an exception, get in touch using the form below!
