Tools for Every Project, Access for Everyone.
What is a Tool Library?
Tinkd Tool Library is a not-for-profit community-based initiative, supported by Tauranga City Council, that lends tools and equipment to members, much like a traditional library lends books.
Instead of purchasing expensive tools for occasional use, members can borrow a wide range of tools for DIY projects, home repairs, gardening, woodworking, and more.
Opening Times
Tuesday 10am – 12pm
Wednesday 6pm – 7pm
Sunday 10am – 12pm
148 Durham Street, Tauranga 3110
(Access at the side of the building via the ramp)
Are you a repairer or passionate recycler?
Held every last Saturday of the month (except December).
Once a month our Repair Cafe volunteer repairers come together and give objects destined for the landfill a second chance by attempting a repair. Maybe it can be fixed, maybe it can’t but at least we’ve tried, taken a look, offered an opinion and even repaired if we can.

Repair Cafes
Repair Cafés are free pop-up events where local people bring in their broken or damaged belongings and local volunteer experts do their best to repair them. The aim of Repair Café Aotearoa New Zealand (RCANZ) is to foster a culture of repair in New Zealand.
See what’s happening around Aotearoa-New Zealand for more inspiration around the right to repair movement @repaircafenz or www.repaircafeaotearoa.co.nz.
