You're ready to borrow tools! Now what?
Due to Washington State social distancing guidelines, we have adjusted our open hours and tool lending protocol:
1. SIGN IN TO YOUR SKTL ACCOUNT, select tools from the inventory, choose pick up
and return days and checkout. If you don't see what you are looking for, contact us at
253-237-2290 or info@southkingtools.org. We have lots of tools that are not in the
inventory system yet.
2. Once SKTL contacts you to verify the details, you're all set. FIND US ON THE MAP
3. Arrive at SKTL during your pick up time slot and we'll bring your order to your car.
4. When it's time to return your tools, come on back during your return time slot and we'll
unload your tools from your car.
