Questions & Answers

Is there a list of acceptable items? Also, do you offer pick-up service if the item is too large or heavy for my shopping cart? If so, what is the fee? Thank you.

Hello Alfreda Williams, We are not sure what your question is about but here is some information that might help. We don't offer pick up service for donations or tools that are rented out. We are membership base and require you to sign up for a membership before you can rent tools out. Please let us know if you have any more questions

Do they have a scaffold you can borrow?

Can you use tools on site or do you need to transport them before using?

You need to transport them. It's a small space. Also you need to be a member to check out tools.

Hi! I was on my way out to the WPTL today Monday 1/7/18. It is currently 6:30. I've called 3 times since 5:30 and no one has answering the the phone. Do you know if they are currently closed for any unexpected reason ??

Awesome thanks Tom. I live far, so reluctant to make the drive without being certain. Perhaps phones are just down tonight.
