Donate a tool
We especially welcome the tools that are hard to own alone: complex, large, heavy, or blessed with many little bits and bobs. Before donating, walk your tool through three questions:
Can it travel?
The bus moves. Tools that pack into a cart, case, or chest ride best. If your tool needs one, donating (or building) the kit alongside it is half the gift.
Are the bits marked?
Chisels, collets, blades, jigs, chargers — mark every piece so it visibly belongs to its set. Engraver, paint pen, or tag: anything durable counts.
Can it be repaired, used, and maintained?
Note the model number. If you know where the manual or datasheet lives, link it. Tell us who to reach out to (you? a forum? a local shop?) when it needs care.
About supporting the project
The Great Falls Tool Bus is an unincorporated community project, and we keep the money side simple: we accept tool donations only until a real entity exists. If you want to help another way, reach out and we'll talk person-to-person — nothing here is a tax-deductible charitable solicitation.
