What is a Tool Share?

Welcome to Manzanita Tool Share - a mobile tool lending library!


Manzanita Tool Share is a collection of tools and equipment that can be used for individual and group projects in home repair, woodworking, landscaping, bicycle repair, arts and crafts, sewing, and the culinary arts.


Based on a community membership model, individuals, local employers, or voluntary civic organizations join the tool share to access the collection and programming as a shared community resource or 'perk' of employment.

MEMBERSHIP

Building local value through shared connections and community resources

 Employers


Want to offer your team a 'perk' of employment that helps them access community resources  while reducing environmental impact? 

Is there equipment that you need on occasion but don't want to have to acquire, store, or maintain?

Individuals


If you are an essential or returning worker commuting by car to work, 
let us know what origin & destination would make a difference for you.

Would having access to a pedal bike or e-bike make your commute easier?

If your employer is part of our transit co-op, your rental may be partially or fully subsidized!
