Hey Tara,
Welcome to the list, and congratulations on what you're doing.
You may have just missed Angel York's request within the last week or so for new community shops to contact her for inclusion into bikecollectives.org; if you're interested in a listing, I believe you can also just create one there on your own.
In case you feel like summoning some demons, here's some formulated ebay searches that I use to find tools on the cheap, or rare tools. I have a few more searches for other specific tools squirreled away, but these are the ones easy for me to dig out.
These may be useful if you're buying piecemeal, rather than getting a grant to buy them all new; typically though, Park's modern master mechanic sets leave out a lot of older tools needed by the kinds of bikes seen by community shops.
I haven't shared these formulas with the list because hunting tools on ebay is already competitive enough >_<
Good luck,
N

Hi y’all,
We’re starting up a community bike shop in Elmira, NY! My first of probably many questions is: does anyone have a master list of tools and/or supplies? I would love something to go off of as I compile everything.
Thanks! Tara
