Auckland Library of Tools

Own Less, Do More

The Auckland Library of Tools (ALoT) is a community hub that offers access to a broad range of tools and equipment, reduces unnecessary consumption, and empowers people to build, share and create in a more sustainable way.

How it works.

Join

Members can borrow our tools. Membership fees cover use of 95% of our tools, however we do charge a small daily fee for cordless and high-maintenance items. Additional fees can be viewed on our inventory.

Borrow

Members can borrow up to 10 tools at a time, for a week at a time, and can renew items up to two times, assuming no one else has reserved them. We recommend booking popular or limited items, like chainsaws, chippers and lawn mowers, ahead of time.

Return

Once you’re done with your items you bring them back. We ask that members return items clean and charged, and that they let us know if anything didn’t work as expected. If you’ve done anything particularly cool feel free to share it with us and we’ll pop it on our projects page.
