Proops Brothers Ltd is a family run business based in Leicestershire, supplying a vast range of tools for craft & hobby, DIY, model making, jewellery, metal & wood working. Our sister company Linic Plastics Ltd, based on the same site, manufactures many of the tools that we sell.
Back in 1946, members of the Proops family opened a shop on Tottenham Court Road close to the major shopping district in London. They traded in War Surplus items as well as many other clearance job lot lines. The main products were medical equipment & 'technical' items from aircraft such as instrumentation & electrical components. They also traded in radio spares, surplus engineering & woodworking tools.
In the late 1980's Proops Brothers was bought by Nic Burdett who built it into a thriving company of 'everything useful' for hobbyists, jewellers, craft makers & modelling enthusiasts. Nic's daughter Isobel has now taken over the running of the business and continues to manufacture and source quality tools.

The item was dispatched very quickly. But delivery by Evri was appalling - emails about delivery was good but the driver left it outside at the wrong part of the address and said he had delivered it to me.
Evri nearly ruined what was a satisfactory purchase.
