  • Cutter knife
  • Hand saw 55 cm
  • Phase tester
  • Precision screwdriver bit set (42 pcs.)
  • Hammer
  • Spirit level 40 cm
  • Ring spanner set (15 pcs.)
  • Socket wrench set for hexagon socket screws (9 pcs.)
  • Pliers set (combination pliers, diagonal side cutters, needle-nose pliers, wire strippers)

How it works:

  1. Select the tool in the AStA booking system (buchungssystem.asta-dortmund.de) under ‘Tools’ and reserve it for the desired duration (open an account if necessary).
    Click here to access the booking system.
  2. Pick it up at the AStA service office during our opening hours by presenting your student ID.
  3. Return it to the AStA by the agreed return date at the latest.

Is there something missing from the tool selection? Then feel free to send us your purchase suggestions at nachhaltigkeit@asta.tu-dortmund.de!

By the way: there are even more items available for loan in the ‘Library of Things’ at the Dortmund City and Regional Library. The only requirement is a valid library card, which you can obtain free of charge as a TU Dortmund University student. More information can be found here.
