If your shed has been crying out for reinforcements—or you’ve ever wanted to build one from scratch—Grays’ latest Hardware, Builders Supplies & Power Tools auction is basically Boxing Day for tradies. Running under instruction from the Mortgagee in Possession, this sale is a sprawling, steel-and-sawdust-scented lineup of welding gear, power tools, hand tools, ladders, lighting and enough workshop accessories to kit out a suburban fabrication shop.

It’s an online pickup-only affair (NSW), but the catalogue reads like the inventory list of a hardware store in full reboot mode. Think welders. Think saws. Think toolkits with more pieces than a LEGO Technic set. If you’re the sort of person who knows the satisfaction of a clean mitre cut or cracking open a fresh pack of flap discs—this one’s for you.

What’s On Offer? 

 Welding Accessories

This is the headline section, and it’s surprisingly well rounded.
You’ve got:

• BOSS SAFE electronic welding helmets with auto-darkening lenses

• BOSSWELD portable DC Arc/TIG welders (complete with leads and carry case)

• Gasless MIG wire in 0.8mm and 0.9mm

• Leather welders gloves

• Electrode holders

• Universal welding trolley

It’s essentially the “starter-to-semi-pro” lineup—good for home fabricators, mobile welders, or anyone outfitting a workshop on a budget.

Tool Bags, Boxes & Trolleys

If you’ve ever spent half a day looking for a screwdriver that somehow migrated to another postcode, this section is your salvation.

Highlights include:

• YATO nylon tool trolleys & carry cases

• JETECH builders’ tool bags

• Canvas utility pouches and bags

• BERENT plastic and metal toolboxes

• A heavy-duty hand trolley for shifting gear without risking your back

Expect a lot of rugged fabrics, reinforced stitching and mid-shelf toughness—perfect for apprentices or workshop expansion.

Workshop & Auto Accessories

A mixed-but-useful category featuring:

• Power inverters

• Folding sawhorses

• Aluminium telescopic ladders (3.8m)

• Knee pads, padlocks, castor wheels, abrasive discs, anti-slip tape, weather sealing strips

• Moving dollies (150kg capacity)

• Tap resealer washer kits & car mats

This section feels very “weekend-warrior Bunnings run”, but at auction prices.

Socket & Drill Sets

This is where the catalogue gets dense. The lineup is massive—essentially a tool-kit feast.

Expect:

• JETECH 191-piece tool sets in aluminium cases

• Screwdriver sets, impact driver kits, metric socket kits, combination spanners, extractors, hole saw kits, Star & Hex key sets

• Tap & Die sets, calipers, rulers, and full mixed hand-tool assortments

There’s also a mega-lot of assorted hand tools: chisels, bolt cutters, hacksaws, pliers, trowels, rivet guns—basically a bricklayer, sparkie and mechanic all dumped their spares into a gigantic bundle.

 Power Tools

Mostly entry-to-mid tier, but all practical workhorses:

• KAWASAKI slide compound mitre saw, hammer drill, angle grinder, jigsaw

• RYOBI 2000W heat gun

• ROCKWORTH air hammer/chisel kit

• Cordless drivers & screwdrivers

Nothing too exotic, but plenty of reliable “daily use” gear.

Chain, Rope & Rigging

A smaller category, but useful:

• 100m reels of galvanised wire rope

• Multipurpose braided ropes (4mm + 10mm)

PPE & Safety

Tradies know: the job stops the minute your PPE does.

Available:

• Welding gloves

• Nitrile mercury gloves

• Ear muffs

• Safety boots

• Dust masks (50-packs)

• First aid kits

• Safety goggles & specs

 Lighting

A neat little cluster of:

• LED work lights (12V/24V)

• High powered LED torches

• CROMPTON industrial spotlights and downlights (150W)

Useful for sheds, job sites, and for those moments when you realise the sun sets at 5pm again.

Bottom Line: Who Should Be Browsing This?

If you’re a:

• welder

• mechanic

• chippy

• home renovator

• workshop hobbyist

• tradie building out a new tool kit

• maintenance team manager

• or just someone who loves the smell of angle-grinder dust

…this auction is a goldmine.

There’s nothing boutique or overly specialised here—it’s practical, sturdy, get-the-job-done equipment, with the kind of mix that suits both pros and DIYers. Expect some items to be unused, others slightly scuffed, and plenty sold with no-nonsense descriptions. Inspect photos, pick your battles, and bid like you mean it.
