About Teilbar
Teilbar lets you pool your rarely-used gear, tools, & gadgets with friends and neighbors to reduce waste, increase hobby & craft access, and build community resilience.
Teilbar makes it easy for people to access tools without up-front investment and contribute to a more sustainable and resourceful world.
Think of that expensive tool or gadget you bought once, but now rarely use. The ice cream maker that you pull out only for that first hot week of summer. The drill kit you needed for one project. The starter kit for that hobby you wanted to try. The third bike pump you got, because you couldn't find the first two in your overstuffed basement.
Every year, millions of people buy expensive tools and gadgets they rarely use. Americans spent $42 billion on DIY tools in 2024, a market expected to grow 4.5% annually, while Brits spent £117 million per year on hobbies they haven't maintained. These overconsumption patterns are on the rise and lead to waste, household clutter, and buyers' remorse: four in five Americans regret some of their purchases even when they're well-researched, mostly because they're not needed, purchased on impulse, or because they have too much stuff already.
Teilbar wants to solve this problem by connecting people who are willing to lend and borrow items they don't use every day.
Users list items they're willing to share with friends or the wider community and pool their resources for a wider selection of tools, gadgets, and gear than any one person could buy. The app provides a seamless platform to find what you need, manage exchanges, track items, and ensure that everything is returned safely.
By simplifying the process of pooling resources, Teilbar helps users save money, reduce waste, and try new activities without investing in seldom-used gear. Whether you're an avid DIYer, a hobbyist, a parent, or someone who loves to cook, Teilbar is the sustainable and cost-effective way to access the stuff you need—without buying or storing it. It's all about making life easier, less wasteful, and more connected. After all, sharing is caring!
