Pro Tool Rentals
Professional-grade equipment for jobs the lending library can't cover. Available to members and non-members on a per-rental basis.
Why Pro Tools?
Access
High-grade equipment that's too expensive or specialized for the standard lending collection — wet saws, concrete mixers, breaker hammers.
Sustain the library
Rental fees fund the lending program. Every rental helps keep tools on the shelf for the rest of the community.
