Our read
The Hub verdict
Alan Gillett's pitch is a recent one, from season 20 in 2023, and it ended in a deal the episode did not quantify. The Xtra Hand asked for £40,000 in exchange for 25%, a £160,000 valuation for the hands-free dust-extraction tool. That quarter-stake is the figure we can stand behind; the terms that actually closed stayed off-screen, so we will not put numbers to them. A small, practical trade product like this often draws Dragon interest for its clear use case, and a low five-figure raise keeps the entry price accessible. Because the pitch is recent it is tempting to assume the trail is easy to follow, but we have not verified current availability and will not claim it until we have.

Worth knowing: Deal terms reflect the aired episode and are public record. Availability can change, and we only add a buy link once we have confirmed a current listing.
