Local Resources
Tool Rental
Tucson Toolbox -- Local Tool Library
​A tool library works like a regular library, but you can rent tools instead of books! They are a new partner to the Tucson Repair Cafe and can help you complete projects without purchasing expensive tools you might only use once.
They are accepting donations of tools to expand their selection.
​
Open Mondays 5 - 7 p.m. at the Catalyst Creative Collective in the Tucson Mall.
​
You can sign up to rent tools on their website, https://www.tucsontoolbox.com
Bike Repair
BICAS (Bicycle Inter-Community Art & Salvage)
​
​BICAS is THE Tucson bike repair nonprofit. They host classes to teach you how to fix bikes, provide tools, host art making events, and more. The Tucson Repair Cafe does not do bike repair, and we highly recommend BICAS for all of your bike repair needs.
​​
Check their calendar for their open hours and classes.​
