ToolShed Market

ToolShed Market is the tab where you get and move tools with your neighbors, four ways: Borrow a tool nearby, Lend one you own, Buy a used tool, or Sell tools you no longer need. Borrowing and lending are free and trust-based; buying and selling are ownership transfers of used tools. Projects are what you want to accomplish; ToolShed Market is where you Borrow, Lend, Buy, or Sell the tools to do it.
