Common Questions

How do I add a tool to MyToolBelt?

Tap Add to MyToolBelt on any tool detail screen while browsing. The orange MyToolBelt button in the header shows how many tools you have queued.

What does Request All do?

It sends borrow requests to all available tools in your Planning tab at once. Each lender receives their own individual request. Tools that are currently unavailable are skipped.

What are the tabs in MyToolBelt?

Planning shows tools you are considering. Pending shows requests waiting for a response. In-Progress shows active borrows. Closed shows completed and past sessions.

How is MyToolBelt different from just requesting a tool directly?

MyToolBelt lets you queue multiple tools and review them together before committing to any requests. It is especially useful when planning a project that needs several tools at once.

Is MyToolBelt the same as Projects?

They work together. MyToolBelt is a quick staging area for tools you are considering across any browsing session. Projects is for committed planning with a defined scope — when you know exactly what you need and want to coordinate everything for a specific job.
