Seven screwdrivers, four flat tips and three Phillips screwdrivers and one pointed tool. Please note the green handled Phillips has a broken handle, and the big black Phillips, is not a Snap-On, I know it looks like a Snap-On screwdriver but it isn't.
I need to add some information to all my listings, someone said to me you have a lot of listings for tools you must be dealing in them. I have been collecting tools since I was at primary school. Even if I didn't have a use for a tool or couldn't physically use it because of my cerebral palsy, if there was a different tool I could get I wanted it.
The thirst for tools continued all my life, in the 90s I had a couple of good jobs, which meant I could buy better tools and I bought quite a lot of Snap-On tools. After we moved up here from Plymouth my Dad helped me to put a small workshop together and we used to do projects together, I would decide what I wanted made and Dad would help me make it.
My Grandad on my Mum’s side, built his own house and he had just over a 1/3rd of an acre garden which he did all sorts with and continued to build his own tool collection which he handed over to me a couple of months before he died.
My Dad was a plumbing and heating engineer and when he had a clear out, I kept a lot of his old tools.
I continued to live at home with my parents, my Mum was my main carer, however this time last year Mum got very ill and on the 9th January this year we were hit with the news she was terminally ill and during the early hours of the 28th February we lost her.
Dad is 87, it became very obvious very quickly he couldn't look after both of us and at the end of May I moved into supported sheltered living, I have nowhere to use my tools and nobody to help me like my Dad used to and all these tools are getting in the way in my little two bedroom flat.
Also if something goes wrong, I am no longer a customer at the bank of Mum and Dad. For both of these reasons I am selling off almost all of my tools, I have never bought tools or anything else to try and make money, in fact it is obvious the tools I bought new, I am going to sell at a big loss,
Before Christmas I hope to list all the tools I have for sale, then once all or most of them are gone, I will be listing some snap-on draw units, which currently is the home to many of these tools, so to answer the question am I dealing in second hand tools NO definitely not.
