Assorted Pliers and Gripping Tools Drawer

This item is a drawer from a tool chest, specifically tailored for storing a variety of pliers and gripping tools. The drawer is constructed from orange-painted metal, typical of industrial or automotive tool storage, and features a textured, possibly rubber or plastic, black mat lining the bottom to prevent tools from sliding and to protect the drawer's finish. The primary contents are numerous locking pliers (often referred to as 'Vise-Grips,' a common brand name), slip-joint pliers, needle-nose pliers, and possibly some diagonal cutting pliers. Most of these tools appear to be made of steel or a similar alloy, showing a metallic silver-grey finish, with some exhibiting patination and surface rust consistent with regular use and age. Handles vary in color and material, featuring red, black, and orange plastic or rubber grips, as well as some with bare metal or a simple, dark coating. The tools display varying degrees of wear, including scratches, dirt, and some signs of corrosion, indicating they have been actively used rather than kept as display pieces. No specific brand markings are clearly discernible from the provided image, but the quality of craftsmanship appears to be industrial standard. The collection is indicative of a general-purpose workshop or garage, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century to early 21st century given the common designs.
