Mixed Tray – Hooks & Eyes (133pcs)

A hooks and eyes mixed tray is one of those things that earns its place in the van pretty quickly. You pick up a job that needs a gate fastening, a cupboard catch, a curtain hook, or a simple latch on a shed door, and instead of rooting through four different boxes to find what you need, it’s all in one tray. This 133-piece assortment covers a practical range of sizes and finishes, including PVC coated, zinc plated and brass plated options, so you can match the fixing to the surface without compromising on appearance or corrosion resistance.

Nylon plugs are included in the pack, which matters more than it sounds. A lot of these jobs involve fixing to masonry, and having the plugs ready to go saves the usual rummage through the back of the van for something that’s inevitably gone missing. Small detail, but it’s the kind of thing that keeps a job moving.

Where a Hooks and Eyes Mixed Tray Earns Its Keep

These fixings turn up in an enormous variety of situations. Gate hooks on timber fencing. Cupboard latches in kitchens and utility rooms. Picture hanging in residential properties. Hook-and-eye closures on shed and outbuilding doors. Rope management on boat fittings. Curtain track fastenings. They’re not glamorous, but they come up constantly, and having a mixed selection on hand means you’re ready for most of them without a trip to the merchant.

The variety of finishes in this hooks and eyes assortment also makes it genuinely useful rather than just convenient. Brass plated options suit interior joinery and cabinetry where appearance counts. Zinc plated hooks are more suited to exterior use where light weather exposure is expected. The PVC coated pieces add a bit more protection and are useful in damp environments like outbuildings or workshops.

A Note on the Nylon Plugs

Fixing hooks and eyes into masonry without plugs is an exercise in optimism. The plugs in this tray are included specifically for that scenario, whether it’s a brick wall, a rendered surface, or a block partition. Drill the hole, push the plug, drive the screw thread of the hook or eye in directly. Job done with no separate fixings required.

At this price point, this tray works well as a top-up for the site toolbox, a general-purpose addition to a maintenance kit, or a straightforward starter selection for a tradesperson covering a broad range of light fixing jobs.
