The tools are mostly of the DIY hand held power type, such as. routers, planers, circular saws etc. I don’t have an inventory but if anyone cares to contact Paul Nixon with a particular need he could send details to them directly. In return a reasonable donation to the Poole Men’s Shed would be acceptable.
