Add-On: The Builder
Builders need more time with tools. Borrow all the tools you need for 5 days at a time.
Builders are homeowners or contractors that need more time with tools to get the project done.
Borrow all the tools you need for 5 days at a time and can renew up to 5x along with the mentorship and support a community provides to help you get your projects done. SJTL Annual Membership required for Add-On.
Anyone that owns a home knows that some bigger projects take some time and keeping them on site until the job is done is important. Also, most projects need specialized tools that you might only need that one time and we’ve got a lot of those!
We do charge small fees for using items with batteries and other consumables like blades or bits ranging from 25-50 cents per item. This is to ensure you’ve always got working batteries and sharp blades on all the tools you borrow from us. You can always check out our inventory to see a live snapshot of what tools we have in stock as well as what tools are currently being borrowed here
Membership FAQs
What happens if I break a tool?
If it is your fault then we ask you pay for the full price of a replacement tool, if the tool was simply old and near the end of its life, no worries.
Can I renew my tools?
Yes, call us at the shop phone number and if no one is waiting for them, you can borrow them again. Basic Members can renew their tools once and up to 5x with a Builder Add-On.
What happens if I lose a tool?
Again, we ask you to pay for the replacement
What happens if I hurt myself with a tool?
We will ensure you have access to a safety manual either by email or on-site. After that it’s your responsibility to work safely. Accidents can happen but we are not responsible for any injuries you incur onsite or offsite unless the tool is deemed to have been faulty. If the tool is faulty and you are hurt by it, we will discuss fair compensation with the injured party and a member of the SJTL board. We do have liability insurance for such events.
What happens if I bring my tools back late?
We have late fees to keep us all accountable, like any other library. $1 per day per hand tool and $2 per day per power tool.
