Tool Libraries & Repair Resources in New Zealand
A single repair or one-off job should not always mean buying something new. SharePatch gives local tool access, repair guidance, and reuse resources a clear place to be discovered by neighbours.
Start with your locality
Search the full New Zealand directory for your city, town, suburb, or region before you browse or contribute.

Useful local context, not a live inventory.
Repair cafés and public repair guidance from local organisations.
Reuse, zero-waste, and practical repair resources with a public source.
Add something useful
Help the next neighbour verify it.
Add a tool or repair resource only when you can point to its public source. Keep the pin at locality level so people can verify current details with the provider.
Choose a locality to add a pinA public-map boundary
Keep it public, local, and reviewable.
Use a public source link, not a private conversation.
Use a locality or general pickup area, never a private address or contact.
Submissions are reviewed before appearing on SharePatch.
Details can change, so pins never promise live availability.
