I know this thread is a month old at this point, but I learned about 'tool-libraries' today and remembered this thread, so I thought I'd share the info because I thought it was interesting.

From Find a Tool-Lending Library to Borrow Free Tools for DIY and Home Maintenance Projects

Find a Tool-Lending Library to Borrow Free Tools for DIY and Home Maintenance Projects

Your public library is a great source for free books, movies, and other information and entertainment, but it's not the only place you can go to borrow free stuff. Tool-lending libraries now exist all over the United States and allow their members to borrow tools, equipment, and how-to manuals free of charge.

Wikipedia offers a long list of these tool-lending libraries across the United States. They're not as numerous as the public libraries we're all familiar with, but there are multiple locations in most states. This is an excellent resource for those who are looking to save a little money on home repairs. It's also great if you want to tackle a DIY project but don't have the tools you need. Signing up for a membership will vary by location, but for the most part you just sign up and borrow what you need for however long the library allows. If you've been to any type of library before this isn't a new concept, but rather a wonderful resource for saving money on tools you may not use very often.

Unfortunately, NJ does not have any tool-lending libraries. NY has several (including Manhattan). PA has one in Philly. I thought it was a cool concept. Maybe someone will start one in NJ some day. It's not just hammers and screw drivers at some of these places. You can also borrow stuff like wood chippers and gas powered water pumps.
