Lot 19: An Assortment of Hand Tools and Electrical Testing Equipment including Stanley and Draper
This lot comprises a collection of various hand tools and electrical testing apparatus, notably featuring several Stanley Thrifty 400 screwdrivers. These screwdrivers are marked with the handle transcription STANLEY THRIFTY 400 ENGLAND, indicating UK manufacture. The collection includes an assortment of other screwdrivers with yellow and black composite handles, as well as an orange-handled mains voltage tester screwdriver. Pliers are represented by a pair of water pump pliers with red and black grips embossed with the POWERFIX brand, alongside needle-nose and combination pliers. The lot also contains a Draper Battery, Bulb, Fuse and Continuity Tester, model BBFC/1, which remains in its original, unopened blister packaging. Included are several distinct tool sets: a precision screwdriver set in a grey plastic case, a large screwdriver bit set containing Torx, hex, and Phillips heads in a black folding case, and a circular bit driver set with a yellow base. Supplementary items comprise a yellow and black torpedo level, several loose hex keys, and a selection of small sockets. The presence of the Stanley Made in England tools and an auction label for HGP Auctions South West indicates a UK provenance for the collection.
