Our Chapter has a limited selection of tools and equipment that are available for loan to current Chapter Members. These high value but seldom used tools and equipment are available for short term loan. These Tools are primarily the property of other Chapter Members in addition to some owned by our Chapter.
Only current members are eligible to borrow tools.
There is no charge for using these tools.
In order to minimize phone calls to individual tool owners, a member interested in borrowing tools should contact our Tool Crib Manager: Hal Getzelman (president@eaa12.org) or 281-474-4727 ext 6. He will check if they are currently available and facilitate the loan. When you pick up the tool, you will be required to sign our Tool Crib Loan Agreement.
Here is the current list of Available Tools and Equipment:
