Tools & Fees

Tool Inventory

Here is a complete current list of tools and equipment available to borrow from the Cincinnati ToolBank. This list includes the weekly tool handling fee for each tool. The list is subject to availability as other organizations may have a tool reserved for their projects on specific dates so we encourage member agencies to place their orders early to guarantee they get the items they need. Feel free to contact our staff if you need assistance in deciding what tools you will need for your project.

Cleaning 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.
