Draper Tools Screwdriver

Draper Tools is a established British brand that has been a staple in the hardware and automotive industry for over a century. Founded in 1919 by Thomas Draper, the company began as a tool wholesaler in Kingston upon Thames before establishing its long-term headquarters in Eastleigh, Hampshire.

Today, Draper Tools remains a family-owned enterprise, currently overseen by the fourth generation of the Draper family. While the brand originated as a local UK distributor, its production has evolved into a global supply chain. Many of their modern hand tools, including screwdrivers, are manufactured in specialized facilities across China and Taiwan to remain competitive, while certain professional-grade lines continue to be sourced or finished within the United Kingdom.

The brand is widely recognized for its diverse ranges, such as 'Draper Expert' and 'Draper Redline', catering to both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts. Ownership has remained strictly private, avoiding the consolidation trends typical of the tool industry, which has allowed the company to maintain its distinct British identity and heritage.
