Create an account quick and easy via MyTurn, our online tool library software.
This includes reading and accepting our “Borrower’s Agreement” and “Liability Waiver”.
Once you’re all done, you’ll recieve a confirmation email.
Sign into MyTurn to view available tools, and reserve any if you wish.
It’s a good idea to enter your payment details too (debit/credit card), so you can save time later on.
Before you first borrow any tools, we ask that you please bring two forms of ID with you to the Tool Lendery.
These are a government-issued photo ID (e.g. drivers license); and a proof of address (e.g. power bill).
Come visit us at the Tool Lendery (178 Cashel Street) to check out any item/s with the help of our friendly staff.
Items are $5 each/per week, and we are cashless service, so if you haven’t already entered your payment details online, you can do it here.
You’ll have a week to borrow and use your tool/s around home – on projects or chores.
Please use the tool as if your own, and operate them safely. When you check it out, we’ll help make sure you are confident to use them.
Please return your tool/s in the same state you recieved it, on or before its due date.
Returning them on time, ensures we can continue to share our tools around with all our members.
We’re all about respect
Before you borrow each tool, we’ll give you a safety briefing and offer you some friendly, safe advice.
We also have safety equipment available (most free of charge) to keep yourself free of harm. This includes earplugs, dust masks, hi-vis vests, safety glasses and gloves.
We also ask that members sign a Liability Waiver – which is your promise to us that you’ll use our tools in a safe manner.
For a full description of our Liability Waiver, click below.
