53 Edinburgh Tool Library



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.
