Brunswick Tool Library

I LOVE this place. The people are so friendly, they have so many different types of tools—see them all on the website or drop by to see what’s in stock. They are a great part of community, they do so much more than just the tool library. The hardest thing is finding them for the first time (Coles basement, drive down ramp, far right corner or walk down travelators) but they have videos on Instagram showing exactly how to find them.

I signed up with this tool library for a large build project.The tools have been well maintained, and if a booking was booked to come in on the same day they'd keep you up to date on weather it had arrived back or if an alternative was available so you didn't have to keep calling, or turn up to find you'd come a ways for the tool to be not ready yet.In the case that something was delayed etc, they've been quick to swap over products for others available that suit your needs.Staff service have been excellent.Return your tools in good nick, and cleaned up as the staff are volunteers and are often sending stuff out as quick as it comes in, which will also make it a better experience for the people ahead of you.To get to the Tool Library, head to the underground carpark (parking is currently free for 45minute~2 hours(?) As of righting this) and their are signs to direct you to the Tool Librarys corner so you wont have to lug large items upstairs and outside.They also deliver but i have not tested this out so cannot review.

Amazing resource for someone living in a share house with a large garden, has saved us so much money that would have been wasted on barely used tools otherwise! Great range of items available too, everything from tweezers and car battery charges to mulchers and sewing machines, has helped us out in so many situations! :)

Great little community resource for tools of all kinds. Hopefully more of these centres are being planned for city dwellers!

Great selection of tools, good for those who like to do lots of little projects but no space to keep the tools :)

Great people and a great range of tools, tables etc. I didn't get to see everything that they had there.

Love this place! Friendly volunteers sharing expert knowledge, super affordable annual membership giving you access to literally hundreds of tools. Sure, I ended up using AirTasker as my DIY project ended up being too big, but love this community initiative!

Such a handy resource/service providing and connected with so many other sustainable, skill and knowledge-sharing resource and service provisions!Vollies are super friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about community. Wide variety of tools, and always help on offer if you are unfamiliar with what exactly it is you need, or how to go about using it.

We need MORE of such places! The community spirit and being around like-minded people who are concerned about the environment and helping out people who can't buy (or store) all this stuff themselves. I can't wait to be more involved once lockdowns are a thing of the past.Keep up the awesome work BTL!! <3

Love these platforms - great service. Highly recommended. Worth every cent.
