Tool Lending Libraries Save You Money!

Even though our Tumbleweed small house plans only require 14 tools, we know that buying new tools can be expensive. You'll also want to save on storage space after you move into your new Tumbleweed so what's a tiny house builder to do? We have the answer for you – Tool Lending Libraries!

If you haven't heard of tool lending libraries then you're missing out on a great way to save a lot of money on your tiny house build and storage space. These libraries are similar to book libraries except you check out a saw, hammer, or ladder instead of Hemingway, Walden or Thoreau. You can choose from hundreds of tools table saws, sanders, screwdrivers, power washers, and garden tools and most libraries keep their tools in excellent condition. You can save hundreds to thousands of dollars on your build this way.

Here is a list of tool lending libraries in some major cities across the country. We'll continue to add to this list and if you have one in your city that we've missed, please add it to the comments!
