Holy moly! @Craftsman donated $20,000 worth of power tools to the Denver Tool Library! That’s so many tools that we had to shutdown the shop on Saturday last week with an army of volunteers just to process them (THANK YOU SO MUCH VOLUNTEERS). That’s so many tools that if you’re a bull, please be careful walking into our noticeably more Craftsman Red shop because you might start charging at all these tools. Speaking of charging, did you know a lot of the tools that Craftsman donated are CORDLESS - including cordless drills, nailers, and sanders? Yah we know, so cool (btw PLEASE don’t leave those batteries out in the cold. More on that later - finger wagging after celebrating).

What?? You’re not a Tool Library member yet so you can’t borrow all these new cool tools?? Well you better pick up your Tool Library Membership today - it’s only $150 for a whole flippin’ year. Ohhhh excuse me I misheard, you said your daughter/neighbor/mail person doesn’t have a membership? Well you’re in luck because it’s just about December so you can buy them a Gift Membership.

Get pumped by the following provocative video by the @aprilfrankenstein and a whole lot of photos from the day!

Hot digady dang! That’s a lot of new tools.

Getting that assembly line going.

The tools are getting a little closer to the shop.

Karl, Robert, Ani, and Phil did stellar work at the unboxing and assembly station. Austen, Hannah, and Molly ran the fine-tuned luxury automobile that was the bags & batts station.

Joe and Aimee laughing bc they are having fun, def not bc of the fumes.

croosh

Next time we will have to try to get these donations pre-packaging! I do think Ian enjoyed this task in spite of himself. It was crunchy and sounded good even if it felt bad to make a plastic island.

Sarah continues to struggle with spatial reasoning when it comes to feeding volunteers. 24" pizzas are freaking HUGE for the record.

Alex inventorying, fearless even as the sea of red threatens to overtake the front desk. Ian naturally being the model he is.

WE DID IT! THANK YOU SO MUCH TO OUR FAB VOLUNTEERS.

AND THANK YOU CRAFTSMAN!!!
