I'm based in Manchester and wondering if there's such a thing as a tool club in the area. I'm sure tool sharing happens informally, but I thought I'd pose the question to see what mechanisms there are for sharing outside friendship groups and whether there's any interest in setting something up.
The thought occurred to me after seeing a post on the T25 Group on facebook about buying a MIG welder and I thought that perhaps it could be beneficial to many with the inclination for DIY to either collectively own a good MIG welder or to be able to access one (e.g. if someone owns one perhaps people could contribute a bit of money in exchange for borrowing it). Same applies to other high value tools, but perhaps with variations where wear and tear of the tool isn't as much of an issue.
Anyways, this is just an idea that I'm floating and would love to hear whether people thing it's viable and also would love to know what actually exists. Also, I acknowledge that there would be quite a few details for this to work properly, but with the right will .....
