    Can you share the name of this non profit society, is it a part of your local public library or it’s own independent thing?.

    I need a spanner for like single hex nut and I don’t want to buy one for it to collect dust in my drawer lol

      Yeah mine was called the [City Name] Tool Library, and it was a non-profit that was independent of our local library. I imagine that they receive donated tools from contractors and companies around the city.

      As an example, I googled a random city name (Calgary) and found one for them as well: https://calgarytoollibrary.org/

      There are likely tons of similar organizations throughout Canada (and probably your country as well!)
