Tool Collection Appraisal

Assorted Hand and Power Tools Collection

This collection comprises a diverse assortment of hand tools, gardening tools, and cordless power tools, predominantly designed for general maintenance, construction, and horticultural tasks. The items include various types of pliers (needle-nose, slip-joint, lineman's), adjustable wrenches, screwdrivers, utility knives, a wire stripper, paint brushes, and several pairs of shears (tin snips, pruning shears, gardening scissors). Among the power tools are a cordless drill/driver, a cordless impact wrench, a cordless angle grinder, and a battery pack and charger, all suggesting a common brand affiliation given their red and black color scheme (likely Milwaukee or similar professional-grade tools). A notable item is a flexible orange fish tape for pulling wires through conduit, coiled neatly. Also present are heavy-duty shackle rings/clevises, likely for lifting or securing. The tools exhibit varying degrees of wear, with some showing scuffs, scratches, and minor surface corrosion indicative of regular use in a working environment. Handles are made of a mix of plastic, rubberized grips, and wood, showcasing ergonomic designs for comfort. Metals appear to be steel, with some polished and some painted surfaces. The overall condition suggests a working set of tools, well-used but maintained, without significant damage that would render them unusable. There are no overt maker's marks or signatures clearly visible on all items, although brands like 'HART' are visible on some accessories, suggesting multiple manufacturers may be represented. The collection appears to be a practical, functional set rather than an antique or display collection, dating from the late 20th to early 21st century.
