Two New 2026 Auto Express Award Wins for Draper
11th Feb 2026
We’re only two months into 2026 and already Draper is pleased to report it has won two Auto Express awards. The independent testers at the nation’s favourite weekly car magazine are always busy putting automotive essentials to the test year-round, and here at Draper we’re committed to submitting our tools for independent testing. We believe in the quality of our products – and you don’t just have to take our word for it. Here are all the details on two awards we’ve won so far this year:
January 2026
1/2" Sq. Dr. Wheel Nut and Bolt Extractor Socket Set (7 Piece) – Stock No: 07115
In a January 2026 Mini Test our Wheel Nut & Bolt Extractor Socket Set was named as the winner. If you don’t have a vehicle’s locking wheel nut key and you don’t have an official adapter – but you need to get the wheel off, this set is for you!
- Award: 2026 Mini Test Winner
- The Review: "Head and Shoulders above the competition... managed to remove [our problem locking nut] in less than a minute."
- Why it Wins: Impressive performance and high-quality build with exceptional attention to detail.

February 2026
Endoscope Inspection Camera – Stock No: 31758
In a February 2026 issue of Auto Express our Endoscope Inspection Camera took the Best Buy Award.
Need to see in a confined, hard-to-reach place such as the engine bay? This popular Endoscope is for you, it impressed the Auto Express testers for many reasons and is even IP67 rated, so it can briefly be submerged in water.
- Award: 2026 Best Buy
- The Review: "A standout winner…it has the clearest screen, longest cable and a lithium-ion battery with the ability to operate for five hours"
- Why it Wins: Great functionality and the long cable means you can use it for non-automotive tasks too such as inspecting gutters and plumbing.
