About this app

Borrow tools nearby. Lend the tools you're not using.

DIY Toolshare is a UK peer-to-peer marketplace making DIY more affordable, accessible and sustainable.

Need a drill, pressure washer, ladder, sander or garden tool for your next project? Find tools available nearby, choose the dates you need them and send a booking request.

Got tools sitting unused in your garage or shed? List them on DIY Toolshare, set your price and availability, and earn from equipment you already own.

Find and borrow tools nearby
Search local listings, check availability and book tools for the days you actually need them. Arrange collection directly with the lender and manage your bookings and messages from the app.

Earn from tools you already own
Upload a few photos and Listing Assistant helps create your listing in seconds. Review the details, set your price and availability, then publish when you're ready.

Plan your next DIY project
Not sure which tools or materials you need? DIY Job Kit helps you plan common DIY jobs, understand what you'll need and decide what you can do yourself, what you could borrow, and when it might be better to call a professional.

Test your Tool IQ
Take part in our weekly Tool IQ quizzes and discover useful DIY tips, tool knowledge and fun facts along the way.

With DIY Toolshare you can:
• Find DIY, garden and home improvement tools near you
• Borrow tools instead of buying them for one-off jobs
• List your own tools quickly with Listing Assistant
• Set your own lending price and availability
• Book and pay securely through the platform
• Message borrowers and lenders in one place
• Manage your bookings and listings from your phone
• Plan projects with DIY Job Kit
• Play the weekly Tool IQ quiz
• Build trust through member ratings and reviews
• Use identity verification as part of the booking process

Better for your wallet, your space and the planet
Most tools spend far more time sitting unused than being put to work. Sharing them locally helps people spend less, reduce clutter and make better use of tools already sitting in their communities.

DIY Toolshare is currently available in selected UK areas, with more locations opening over time. If your area isn't live yet, join the waitlist and help us see where demand is growing.

Build smarter, together.
