Tools

Do you have tools that you don’t use? Give them new life and donate them to the Tool Library.

While our limited space precludes us from taking everything, we are happy to consider any tool donation! We request that all donated tools must be in working (or serviceable) order. Unfortunately, we cannot accept gas-powered tools, pressure washers, paint sprayers, or cordless tools without functioning lithium batteries.

Below are some items we particularly need, with the high priority items in bold. To donate tools, please e-mail info@wstools.org or bring it in to the library during any of our open hours. Antique tools are also welcome! Donation receipts are available upon request.
