information DESCRIPTION

The Edinburgh Tool Library (ETL) is a community for borrowing tools, sharing skills, and giving support & advice.

We lend our members tools for DIY, gardening, decorating and machine repair, so that they don’t need to own them. Not only does this collaborative approach make sense environmentally, it also helps our members financially.

The Tool Library makes more than 2,000 tools available, free of charge, to members and not-for-profit partners. We lend a huge range of hand and power tools, making costly equipment easily available and affordable for Edinburgh residents.

We also provide tools and resources specifically to help young people into employment through our Tools for Life programme. Tools for Life supports young people with barriers to work, pairing them with a mentor who they work with to learn valuable practical and life skills and to build confidence.

Through ETL Makes we are able to offer a bespoke service to customers who wish to commission our carpentry and building skills.

Our workshops in both Leith and Portobello are valuable community hubs, providing meeting points for everyone who wants to share skills, exchange knowledge, and learn in a supportive and friendly environment.
