Borrow Not Buys’ Core Principles:

At the DIY Depot of Tools, we are committed to creating a more sustainable, connected, and useful community resource.

Our mission is simple: To provide access to tools and appliances, so that its Members can Borrow Not Buy.

- - Borrow Not Buy Tools & Appliances Inventory
  - Save Money – by not purchasing
  - Reduce Carbon Footprints & Waste Packaging
  - Or simply make a donation

We stock a growing number of tools and appliances available to assist You with Your DIY projects and jobs, large and small.
You name it! We might just have it!

A small sample of some Members DIY!

However, not all DIY jobs are this complicated. Just as an example; a middle aged lady borrowed a cordless hammer drill and masonry bits for her son to put a hinge on a concrete post – job done! Another borrowed an SDS Drill and saved the £550 he had been quoted by a trades person for demolition only – Job done!

Another, a young lady borrowed approximately £1,000 worth of tools to complete a job that she was quoted £650 – Job done!

The stories are endless. We offer local people the opportunity to DIY in a new way!
