Canberra’s First Tool & Equipment Library

Borrow things. Reduce consumption. Make & do amazing things.

Community Toolbox Canberra is a community-led, volunteer-run tool and equipment library in Watson, ACT. There are mobile Tool Bus stops in Weston and Belconnen each week.

For less than it would cost to buy a drill, members can borrow a wide range of tools and equipment for activities such as DIY, craft, cooking, home projects, leisure activities and more.

They have a stacked inventory of over 1,200 tools for making, fixing and finding adventure. Check out the inventory here.

One of the goals of the Toolbox is to put the tools and equipment languishing in sheds, garages and cupboards around Canberra into the hands of the wider community.
