    Workshop tools - can be easily reused and shared, but have an upfront cost that not everyone can easily afford (measures may have to be taken to avoid theft though.)

      i <3 tool libraries, but they really do need dedicated space, storage, and maintenance - our local is run out of a shared space garage. a couple things: tools are going to get dirty when used, dirt on shovels, even electric only mowers; meanwhile, some stuff gets gross - drain snakes being a great example. some people treat everything like trash and don’t clean or maintain it, even when borrowing it from a library.

      so love both book libraries and tool libraries, would not recommend trying to mix the two into the same loc.
