Hand Tools And Fasteners Appraisal

Assorted Hand Tools in Tool Drawer

This item is a collection of various hand tools and a hose clamp, contained within a deep orange-colored drawer, likely part of a larger toolbox or tool chest. The tools are organized on a black, textured, possibly rubber or foam mat which prevents them from sliding. The assortment includes several adjustable wrenches (monkey wrenches) of different sizes, exhibiting varying degrees of wear, with some displaying visible rust and grime, indicating heavy use or prolonged storage in a non-climate-controlled environment. One of the wrenches appears to have 'POWERBILT' stamped on its handle, suggesting a brand. There are also several other types of wrenches or pliers, including what looks like a pair of vise-grip pliers, and possibly some combination wrenches. In the lower section of the drawer, a separate blue plastic tray holds a specialized tool, likely a crimping or clamping tool, characterized by its black metal body and bright yellow, possibly rubberized or plastic, handles. Next to this tool, within the blue tray, is a metal hose clamp, visible with its screw mechanism. The overall condition of the tools ranges from fair to good, with signs of extensive use, scratches, and a dulling of the metal surfaces. The robust construction points to these being utilitarian items designed for practical work rather than display. The presence of common hand tools suggests typical automotive, plumbing, or general repair applications. The estimated age of these tools is likely mid-to-late 20th century, given the visible wear and common designs.
