2011 Place for DIY-ers
West Philly Tool Library
Need a large mortar chisel? A rawhide mallet? Perhaps a saber saw? For just $20 to $50 annually, you can borrow tools from this nonprofit’s 2,500-item-strong library for up to a week at a time, and you only pay more ($1 a day) if you don’t get them back on time. Take that, Money Pit.
