We love a pristine socket set in perfect order... enjoy it now, because the 10mm is probably already plotting its escape!

Shoutout to everyone who knows the exact weight and feel of a 10mm socket without even looking. Can you do it?

Even the world’s biggest machines rely on simple, reliable tools.

We recently visited Santa Pod for a post-race inspection on the legendary Podzilla, getting up close as the team carried out essential servicing and fluid changes after a big weekend of crushing everything in its path.

From everyday vehicles to full-scale showstoppers, the right tools make all the difference when it matters most.

A huge thank you to the Santa Pod Raceway team for having us. We can’t wait to see Podzilla back in action again soon.

We're proud to announce that Draper Tools is now an official supporter of The National Spitfire Project. If you're local you'll have heard the buzz about this amazing monument that's planned for Southampton - the city where the Spitfire was born.

Draper will be sponsoring one of the monument's 30 commemorative roundels. As a 107-year-old family business with deep roots in the South Coast, this means a great deal to us. The Spitfire stands for the very best of British engineering and innovation. And our connection to its story runs closer to home than most people might realise, with our Chandler's Ford headquarters once serving as central stores for the wartime shadow factory network, helping keep Spitfire production running under some of the most difficult conditions imaginable.

In the words of John, Tom and Joe Draper:

"The Draper family and the entire team at Draper Tools are incredibly proud to play a part in the monument that will celebrate the Spitfire and the people behind it for generations to come."

The monument will honour not just the pilots, but every engineer, factory worker and designer who made the Spitfire possible. We think that's worth celebrating.

Squeezing it with your hands? Using the old 20p trick?

Stop your tyre guesswork, make life easier by keeping one of our new Digital Tyre Pressure and Tread Depth Gauges (29939) in your glovebox.

It measures pressure in both PSI and BAR for quick, easy readings, and features an automatic 90-second shutoff to preserve battery life.

It's ready to use straight out of the box and could save you from serious hassle in the future.
