76 Federal Highway
Watson ACT 2602
(enter via driveway on Zelling Street)

The Toolbox is on the grounds of Youth with a Mission (YWAM). Entering from Zelling Street, drive up the driveway and bear right as you pass a demountable building on your right (that’s our building). Continue round to the right until you come to the carpark. Our entrance is on the other side of the building (facing the Federal Highway).

Please do not drive on the grass unless you have heavy or many items to return.

NOTE: We cannot take returns or item donations outside of our opening hours (see page footer). Please do not leave anything at the door.

Public transport

Bus routes 50 and R9 both stop at the Watson Terminus which is on Aspinall Street, right behind YWAM. Enter YWAM via the Aspinall Street gate and walk straight ahead down the driveway past demountable buildings on your right. Our building is on the other side of the hedge which runs along the main carpark.

Site accessibility
The building has several steps. If that’s a barrier for you, please let us know when you reserve an item and Toolbox volunteers can bring your order out to you. When you arrive, please call 0493 286 862 to let us know you are ready.

 
 

What people are saying about the Toolbox

  • Access to a library of things is a dream come true. There are lots of things that I’d like to be able to use, but don’t want to buy - for financial and sustainability reasons.

    Rebecca

  • It’s a fantastic service! There’s a tool for every job and knowledgeable volunteers who can give you pointers. Such a great resource, staffed by lovely folks.

    Dan

  • I can’t be more grateful for the Toolbox. My membership easily saved us hundreds of dollars in tools I needed for a single instance.

    James

  • I use the food hydrator most often. It helps reduce my food waste (which I love) but they are so bulky - I’d hate to have it in my kitchen all the time.

    Rebecca

  • Moving from ownership to access is climate action that saves money and space. It lets us do so many things for the cost of a single tool a year. Libraries just make sense!

    Kathy

  • I’ve gotten a lot out of my Toolbox membership. It has saved me a lot of cash, but I’m more motivated to spruik the Toolbox due to the efficient use of resource it enables.

    Dan

  • The Toolbox is a fabulous contribution to Canberra. I’ve renovated my house and avoided buying tools that I wouldn’t use often.

    Jen

  • I have been very impressed with the professionalism, generosity and prompt responses!

    Sarah

  • As a volunteer, you get to hear about the great stuff that people are doing with the equipment they borrow and learn from other volunteers about tool maintenance.
