Condition report:

The items are in a heavily used condition typical of workshop or garage storage. There is significant surface oxidation, rust, and pitting across many of the steel components, particularly affecting the Stanley bench plane and the wood chisels. The cordless drill and Radkit-Pro sets are sold as untested; battery health is unknown and the completeness of the boxed kits cannot be verified. Plastic toolboxes and organisers exhibit scratches, scuffs, and ingrained dust from use.
