Tools & Things
Missing a vital tool for your DIY project? Why not borrow it from our brand-new tool and equipment library! Launch date Monday 27 JulyDo you have costly tools at home that you hardly ever use– a hedge trimmer that comes out once a year, or a power drill that is only used when a new shelf needs fitting?
Tools & Things is a ‘library’ of useful tools that you can borrow whenever you need them. Just choose what you want from the online catalogue, then call in at The George and pick it up! It’s a great way to save money, avoid waste and reduce your carbon footprint.

What does it cost?
Use of Tools & Things is FREE, but we would appreciate a small donation per item to help cover our running costs, and we may ask for a deposit on some more valuable items. A charge will also be made to cover the cost of consumables such as sanding discs and blades.
