ABOUT HNL TOOL LIBRARY

Need tools? We’ve got ‘em! We’re like a traditional library, but with tools instead of books. Become a member and borrow tools for a week at a time. Think tool rental, but better!

Hundreds of tools

We stock nearly 1000 tools in our online inventory. The DIY-friendly tools range from table saws to tile saws, shop vacs to leaf blowers, even sewing machines, paint sprayers, and label makers. Need something specific? Submit a tool request.

AFFORDABLE ACCESS

HNL Tool Library membership is a fraction of the cost of renting or buying tools—annual members get unlimited tool access for less than 50 cents a day ($180/yr). We also offer monthly memberships and discounts for students, seniors, and active-duty military.

Shared tools. shared values.

As a non-profit 501(c)(3), we’re dedicated to expanding access to tool resources. Our members are our primary source of support—through paid memberships and also by volunteering or donating tools. Financial donations to our Tools+Aloha fund help support subsidized membership for those in need.

SUSTAINABILITY IN ACTION

Most tools sit unused and wind up in landfills—ours benefit the community and reduce Hawaiʻi’s carbon footprint. And the savings add up: since opening in 2017, we’ve saved our members more than $469,800—that’s an average of $533 per member, per year!
