This tall, sculptural table lamp began life as a traditional hand brace, the cranked drill that carpenters turned by hand long before power tools existed. We’ve rescued it, restored its character and turned it into a lamp that’s as much a piece of art as a source of light. The distinctive S-shaped crank is the star of the show. Its worn metal, dark handle and chuck have all been kept in place, so the lamp carries the marks of every job it did in its working life. Each lamp is made from a different tool, so no two are ever quite the same. The Details Upcycled vintage brace drill: reclaimed and mounted upright as the lamp body, with the original crank, handle and chuck still on show Reclaimed timber base: a chunky, weathered oak-style base topped with a solid wooden block, giving stability and a rustic, handcrafted finish Braided fabric cable: a natural cream rope-style flex wrapped around the frame, adding to the vintage look Sage green drum shade: a soft, tapered shade that diffuses the light and complements the metal and timber Fully wired: supplied with a UK plug, [PAT tested / safety checked] Bulb: [bulb type and fitting, e.g. E27, included or not] Size: [height] x [base width]. Standing tall, it makes a real statement on a sideboard or console table. Perfect For Sideboards, console tables and shelving units Home offices and studies Workshops, garden rooms and man caves Pubs, cafés, bars and restaurants wanting industrial or vintage character A memorable gift for a woodworker, DIY enthusiast or tradesperson Why Upcycled? Every lamp saves a piece of tool history from landfill and gives it a second life. You get a genuinely unique light with a story behind it, and it will start a conversation whenever guests come round. Made by PAC Handyman Each lamp is handmade, so slight variations in the metal finish, wear marks and timber grain are part of its charm. We can also supply matching pieces from our other tool lamps, such as our hand drill and guitar lamps.

Old Tools, New Purpose Every one of these coat racks started life on a workshop bench. We’ve taken old, worn hammers that were destined for the scrap heap and given them a second career, holding your coats, bags, scarves and keys.

The Details Upcycled hammer heads: reclaimed vintage hammers, cleaned up and mounted as sturdy hooks, with remnants of the original wooden handle still visible in the eye of each head Grooved timber backing rail: warm-toned wood with a ribbed profile that adds texture and a handcrafted look Strong and practical: solid steel hooks built to take everyday loads, from heavy winter coats to school bags Perfect For Hallways and boot rooms Garages, workshops and sheds Kitchens and utility rooms Pubs, cafés and shops that want an industrial or rustic feel A thoughtful gift for the DIY enthusiast, tradesperson or new homeowner Why Upcycled? Buying a coat rack made from reclaimed tools keeps good steel and timber out of landfill and gives it a new life. It’s also a conversation starter: guests will always ask where it came from.
