Hand tools enquiry

SPECIFICATION FIRST

What should I provide for a hand tools enquiry?

1. List the tool type, intended task and required dimensions or drawing reference.
2. State material, finish, handle requirements and any buyer-requested test or inspection method.
3. Specify quantities per size, marking, individual packing and set contents where relevant.

The categories describe buyer enquiry scopes, not a verified supplier catalogue or available stock. Exact models, technical evidence, origin, condition, compatibility and commercial terms require item-level confirmation.

BUYER EXAMPLE · NOT A CUSTOMER CASE

A common clarification step

A buyer requests several wrench sizes. Use a line for each size and quantity, then record whether individual packing or a set case is required.

What to compare

Compare the same size and material requirement; a similar-looking tool is not a confirmed equivalent.

Record the agreed reference revision, proposed alternative, unresolved question and approval status for each line.
