CooTools
Borrow a tool and someone who will help use it
Drill, ladder, bike pump: from the Hood instead of buying new. And when you need a second pair of hands, ask neighbours who will pitch in.
Used once, then stored for years
Many tools sit unused for 50 weeks a year. At the same time, you often need someone who will drill with you, hold the board, or help carry the wardrobe. CooTools brings both together: the tool and the hands.
Borrow, don't buy
What you rarely need is often one door down — ready to lend.
Two hands, not YouTube alone
Someone who pitches in, explains, or holds the board. Not just the device.
Only your Hood
No public classifieds. Only neighbours whose residential address is confirmed see the offer or the request.
Two kinds of help
CooTools is both: the tool next door — and the person who knows how to use it.
Tools from the Hood
Drill, ladder, driver, bike pump, first-aid kit: offer or borrow, local and free.
Hands-on help
Someone who drills with you, holds the wardrobe, fixes the bike, or shows how the tool works. Neighbours who get stuck in.
Found in three steps
Search or offer. You arrange the rest in chat — without a phone number.
1
Search or offer
Say what you are lending or need: a tool, or someone who will help use it.
2
Arrange it in chat
When, where, for how long. Your number stays private.
3
Pick up or pitch in together
Handover in the building, or you do the job together — in the Hood.
The hardware store is farther than your neighbour
Not every hole in the wall needs a new tool. Often the machine one door down is enough — and someone who has drilled before.
Without CooTools
Buy new, fill the cellar, follow YouTube alone. Or nobody knows the drill next door is free.
With CooTools
Your Hood sees what is there. Tools stay in use, and help comes from people who really live nearby.
From the driver to a second pair of hands
CooTools is the workshop of your Hood: private, local, and free — for DIY, moving, bike repairs, and the moment you need an extra hand.
Offer a tool
What sits unused in the cellar can help next door.
Help on site
Ask for a second pair of hands, not only for the tool.
Short distances
Pick-up in the building or the street — not across town.
Confirmed residential addresses only
You lend and help people who have confirmed they live nearby.
