Live auction will start in __ days and __ hours

Start price: £2

Buyer's Premium:

This comprehensive mechanic’s socket and ratchet set is presented in a custom-moulded black plastic carry case. The collection includes three ratchets of varying drive sizes, intended for professional automotive and mechanical use. The tools are constructed from chrome-plated vanadium steel (CR-V), featuring a high-polish finish. The set comprises a wide array of sockets in both standard and deep profiles, alongside several extension bars of varying lengths, universal joints, and spark plug sockets. Numerical size markings and material designations are stamped into the base of the sockets and along the shafts of the ratchets and extensions. While the specific brand name is not clearly identifiable from the provided images, the layout and components are in the style of professional-grade sets by manufacturers like Matco or Klutch.


Condition report:

The set is in used condition, showing signs of regular workshop use including surface scuffing and areas of light oxidation on several pieces. The moulded plastic case remains functional and intact, though it exhibits external wear and dust accumulation. The set appears mostly complete; however, there are several vacant slots within the case indicating some missing components. The internal mechanisms of the ratchets have not been tested for operational status.
