The tool detail screen shows everything recorded about a specific tool — who owns it, what it is, and whether it is available to borrow. The more detail an owner adds to their tools, the easier it is for neighbors to find exactly what they need and feel confident requesting it.

Common Questions
What does the brand and model field show?
The brand and model the owner recorded when adding the tool. It helps you confirm you are looking at the right tool before requesting — especially useful when multiple neighbors have similar items.
What does the availability status mean?
If a tool is available, you can add it to your MyToolBelt or request it directly. If it is currently borrowed, the screen shows an estimated return date when available and surfaces similar tools nearby so you can keep browsing.
What are the colored tags on some tools?
Those are signals that highlight something useful about that tool in the community right now — things like Neighbor Favorite, Best Value Now, Price Drop, or Rebate Available. They help you make a better borrowing or buying decision at a glance.
Why do some tools have a quantity input?
Consumable tools — like sandpaper, painter's tape, or pipe fittings — are shared by quantity rather than as a single item. Enter how much you need and the owner decides how much to share.
Why do some tool cards have more details than others?
Owners fill in their tool cards themselves. A complete card with a description, brand, and model is more useful for borrowers — and more likely to get borrowed. If you own tools, filling them out well helps your neighbors find exactly what they need.
