Lucketts, Virginia
Borrow what you need. Share what you have.
The Lucketts Tool Library is a simple way for neighbors to lend and borrow tools, save money, reduce waste, and build a stronger local community. Instead of everyone buying everything, we can share what already exists.
Launching as a local community lending network, with room to grow into a broader cooperative over time.
How it works
Keep it simple. Start with the group, connect with neighbors, and help build the library one tool at a time.
2
Borrow or share
Need a post hole digger, ladder, saw, or pressure washer? Ask the group. Have tools to lend? List them.
3
Build community
Save money, reduce duplicate purchases, and create a practical network of neighbors helping neighbors.
Why a tool library?
Most tools sit unused most of the year. Sharing makes them more useful and makes the community more capable.
Save money
Skip buying expensive tools for one weekend project and borrow what you need instead.
Reduce clutter
Fewer duplicate purchases means less wasted space in garages, sheds, and workshops.
Strengthen Lucketts
Tool sharing creates trust, practical cooperation, and a stronger, more self-reliant local network.
Help get it off the ground
Join the Facebook group, invite your neighbors, and post a tool you’d be willing to share.
