  • Order Tools

    Tool orders must be placed AT MINIMUM 48 hours prior to the intended pickup date. Tools and equipment are on a first come first serve basis, meaning the sooner you place the tool order, the more likely you are to receive your order in its entirety.
    *Please note: An appointment is not scheduled until a staff person confirms. 
    If we can accommodate an order and it is placed in the following time frames, the fees are as follows:
    • Less than 2 business days: $25.00
    • Less than 1 business day: $50.00

    Special Events Equipment: Due to the high demand, special events equipment is only available in one week increments (I.e. tables, tents, chairs, AV equipment, etc.)

  • Fee Information

    Payment of the tool handling fees are due at the time of the tool pick up. The ToolBank accepts checks, debit and credit cards. Cash is not accepted – no exceptions.

    • Tool Handling Fees: Member Agencies pay a Tool Handling Fee equal to 5% of the retail value of each tool borrowed per week. Tools may be borrowed from one to eight weeks.
    • Cleaning/Maintenance Fees: Member Agencies are assessed a cleaning fee if tools are returned excessively dirty or returned with dried paint, caulk, mud, cement, or other substances. Agencies are given the opportunity to clean tools before fees are assessed. This fee is $25.00/hr if staff is required to clean the returned order.
    • Laundering Fees: There will be a $5.00 cleaning fee per tablecloth that is returned unwashed.
    • Late Fees: An overdue order accrues a weekly late fee of 10% of the retail value for each overdue tool until the tools are returned, replaced, or its replacement cost is paid in full.
    • Replacement Fees: Member Agencies are assessed a replacement fee in the event that a tool is declared lost, parts are missing, or the tool is broken or no longer usable due to misuse or abuse.
  • Tool Return Appointments

    Returns are by APPOINTMENT ONLY.
    If an agency does not set up a return appointment during their order pickup, please call (513)246-0015 to schedule a return. Appointments are not scheduled until confirmed by a Cincinnati ToolBank staff member.
    Appointments are available Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm.
