Not wanting to miss out on the big event this year, Stanley Tools have release it's limited edition "England" range off tools and accessories.

First up is the 3 piece Dynagrip II Chisel set which is styled in England colours (what else) with red and white polypropelene moulded handles with soft touch elastomer panels for improved grip and control. Each handle is tough enough to withstand hammer blows and the chrome alloy blade should give superior edge retention.

It would have been nice for the guard tips to also be in red/white but a little disapointingly are standard issue black.

Second up for offer is the decorating set which has a 9" durable tray (in white) and a mini tray in red, ideal for those little touch-up jobs.

3 pack of brushes and large and small rollers are included.

The pick of the crop is undoubtedly the 26" heavy duty "England" toolbox featuring an integral saw groove and comfort handle - a must for England die hards this summer.

These tools could be pride of place in every self respecting English tradesmans armoury - but will they continue to shine if England's departure from the World Cup comes sooner rather than later?
