A collection of utility hand tools and hardware comprising various manual implements, storage solutions, and assorted fixings. The lot includes two tool bags, a blue plastic toolbox with a removable tray, and a clear-lidded plastic organiser box. One black nylon tool bag contains several claw and ball-peen hammers, wood rasps, files, and a selection of chisels with both wooden and plastic handles. A second brown textured vinyl tool bag contains plumbing equipment including a red-finished Stilson-pattern pipe wrench, a yellow-handled pipe cutter, and locking pliers. The blue plastic toolbox contains a large quantity of loose hardware such as wood screws, nails, and masonry wall plugs.

One black-handled screwdriver housed in the blue toolbox is marked JBC CHROME VANADIUM 8×100. The clear-lidded plastic organiser bears a yellow and black adhesive label reading STANLEY SortMaster and 10x = 1024. A white adhesive label on the organiser lid has the handwritten number 09904. The lot also includes a plastic bag containing several unused paint roller sleeves in cream and yellow. All items are constructed from a mixture of steel, wood, and durable plastics, showing varying degrees of workshop use.
