Library of Things Anmeldelser 56

I’ve used the Library of Things a couple of times now. I’ve borrowed a drill to put up some shelves and a mic and speaker to host a house party. It’s so easy and takes away all the hassle of buying and then storing something you’ll only use once. The lockers are so easy to use, the communication is brilliant - you get so many text and email reminders with all the information.

I had an issue with my Thing when I borrowed the speaker as it was being fixed at my local library so I got moved to a different nearby locker and a small discount.

This organisation really care about giving back to the community. They also have email newsletter which are full of opportunities, tips and tricks and community projects. I recommend it to all my friends particularly renters!

Really low prices, it was easy to find out what is available right now and it's wonderful that I don't have to buy a carpet deep-cleaner, when we can have a communal one instead! After this good first time I think I will book it every six months.
Saves house space and a lot of money, thank you so much for providing this service!

I've used this service countless times since moving house. My flat is tight on space, so items like a ladder, gardening tools or industrial hoovers aren't things we can have lying around gathering dust. Popping down to the local library to pick these things up as we need them was incredibly useful. Reasonable prices and easy to use service.

Efficient organisation, great communication, and everything as it should be.

This is a brilliant idea! Very convenient and close to home. We've been borrowing the Carper Cleaner for a couple of years and it works well. Easy to book, collect, use and return. Makes so much sense. Reduces waste and saves your pocket! :)

Received the tool in horrible condition, smelly, falling apart, and not working.
Now they let me pay for it more than the tool is worth because I failed to claim the defect.
It's obviously been in an unusable state for a long time, yet it's still being lent out, and I had to pay for it.
If power tools are being inspected in the same intervals, this is just dangerous.
Shady practice, rip-off.
For the money wasted, I could have bought a new tool.

Amazing idea. Rented a circular saw today to cut skirting boards and it saved me a fortune. Such a great idea. Would highly recommend. Support it to keep it going. Reduce, reuse, recycle, borrow!! Love it!

I have redone my garden last summer and I was happy to pick up the tools from my local library. No rush no complicate.
This spring I will be visiting the library more often.

Accessibility and quality of products. Great and friendly customer service

This is such a great service, in the last few months we have borrowed a carpet cleaner, jigsaw and circular saw. Exceptionally easy to borrow and all in good working order. Love the fact its based in the local leisure centre and can pick up after a class!

I am greatly enjoying reading Library of Things regular newsletter. It is always full of interesting items about what users have been doing with the things they borrow. I am learning a lot I did not know and feel very happy that Library of Things exists and is going from strength to strength. as soon as a branch opens near me I will be down there like a shot borrowing all their stuff.

love this place! so handy for so many items. just what we need for an equitable green transition :)

Library of things has sorted me out multiple times! I have borrowed drills and thermal imaging cameras from them and they've been great. Excellent interface, great customer support and a great blessing to the community.

Really lovely idea and has lots of useful things. Have used the staple gun to upcycle chairs, the planer to fix a door, and the drill to install a key safe. Much easier than buying tools as I live in a small flat.

I borrowed the thermal camera to examine some renovation work done on our house and look at some elements we haven't done yet. It worked well for me and I would recommend the service.

Borrowing was very easy, as was returning. The lockers were easy to find, you enter a code which they send in an email to retrieve and return the item.

Each item has a guide provided online so you can prepare in advance.

I hired a carpet cleaner which was easy to collect and return. An excellent idea and I will look to use again.

I used the trolley to move heavy stuff - it was great!

This is such a great idea - borrowing instead of buying. Borrowing instead of buying saves much needed space and the costs are so reasonable. Equipment is so easy to pick up - and to return, and clear instructions are given. You even get the correct carpet cleaning fluid when you borrow the carpet cleaner.

Borrowed an electric drill to screw down the slats on a set of bunk beds. Would have taken me hours manually. Was able to collect same day so simple and easy with everything I needed including links to video instructions. Reasonable price too - will use again!
