The Toolshare is changing.
Read about the new membership and how to keep using our services below.
NEP Toolshare
In December 2024, Nottingham Energy Partnership set up the Toolshare as part of the National Lottery-funded Green Meadows project. By April 2026, the average member had saved £582 and avoided 53 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions (CO2e).
By creating it as a Membership service under its own brand, NEP is proud to continue this support for the community and open it to more people across Nottingham.
For just £70 a year, members gain access to affordable tool hire, helping make low-cost tool rental accessible to more people.
From twister mixers to tile cutters and drills, our wide-range library makes completing DIY projects just that bit easier.
Opening times:
Tool pick-up/drop-off: Friday 4-7pm
Where? NEP Climate Hub, 32 Turney St, NG2, NG2 2LG
Carbon savings so far…

Reserve your tool rental online - Our handy online tool library allows you to browse the tools that we currently have available. The first step to borrowing a tool is to reserve your tool rental online.
To collect your tool, please visit: the NEP Climate Hub, 32 Turney Street, The Meadows, NG2 2LG on Fridays (4-7pm).
During your first visit, you must bring an approved form of personal identification (list here).You only need to do this on your first rental, these will be scanned and stored securely on our database, but it’s just so we know it is you when you collect future rentals!
All these steps allow us to keep the Toolshare running smoothly and at no cost to Meadows residents.
