Berkeley's tool library
The Berkeley Public Library maintains a tool-lending library open to all residents and property owners of Berkeley. The library lends out everything from cabinet scrapers to rotary hammer drills to portable workbenches (!). Link (via Make)
Update: F_D sez, "Burlington, Vermont's Fletcher Free Library has a similar program with garden tools etc."
Update 2: Lexica sez, "The Oakland Public Library also has a tool lending library, located at the Temescal branch."
Update 3: Thom sez, "There is a tool library in Portland, Oregon too.
Update 4: Corey sez, "I just became library administrator of the Thompson Public Library in Thompson, Manitoba, and we also have a tool library. The Tool Library has been used for over 2 years now, and has really come in handy."
