What our members are saying
This place is so great. As someone very new to building things- I have received so much knowledge and help from the staff and members at this establishment. Highly recommend taking the classes and joining the makerspace because it is well worth what you get.

This place is great, rather than owning 12 different large power tools and trying to find a place for them in your house/condo/apartment, rent the tools from these guys. The yearly membership isn’t expensive and worth it! I have rented all sorts of great tools such as a sliding mitre saw, electric metal shears, nail guns with air compressors, inspection cameras, pole saw & pruner… I’m glad I don’t have to go out and buy all of these tools.

Mobile Bike Service
Had to pick up an otherwise pricey tool for a quick project, Tim was super helpful in picking out the specific tools and attachments for the job!
