Did you know that the average power drill is used a total of
13 minutes in its lifetime? Or that the average UK household spends £110 a year
on tools? Why - we don’t all need to own one?
Edinburgh Tool Library is the UK’s first tool library,
promoting sharing as a way of reducing our environmental impact. And now it’s coming
to Portobello – and it’s even in the library.
Being a member of ETL will give you access to over 1000
tools without the need to store, maintain, or buy them in the first place –
tools for DIY, gardening, decorating and machine repair.
For the first time, local people will be able to borrow
those expensive tools they might otherwise have to buy. Membership costs just £20 a year - or simply donate a tool! The first session will
be this coming Monday.
