SE Portland Tool Library

Like the public library... but for tools and seeds.

SEPTL is a free community resource that provides home and business owners, and tenants, with hand and power tools they need to perform simple maintenance, tend to yards and gardens, and build awesome projects – while along the way meeting and sharing with neighbors.

Due to the overwhelming generosity of our members we need to suspend walk-in tool donations. If you have a tool donation, please contact us to make arrangements.

* * Please remember, tools can be returned ONLY during our open hours. * *

We're open on:

Saturday 9 am - noon

Tuesday 5:30 - 7 pm

Thursday 5:30 - 7 pm
